6 SCIATICA STRETCHES TO PREVENT AND RELIEVE LOWER BACK AND HIP PAIN

4. WIDE SIDE LUNGE POSE

Targeted Muscles: Hamstrings and Adductors

Your legs should be as straight as possible while your feet need to be faced forwards in a wide stance. Use your hands to walk to your right foot and bend your right knee while rotating the left foot.

Point your toes toward the ceiling. Make sure your right foot is straight on the floor. This is very useful for opening the hips and improving your flexibility. Moreover, it stretches the area where the sciatic nerve passes through.

5. BUTTERFLY STRETCH

Targeted Muscles: Adductors

Sit on the floor, making sure your back is straight and your feet’s soles are touching. Using your hands, you should press down on the knees to induce the stretch.

6. FOREARM EXTENSOR STRETCH

Targeted Muscles: Forearm Extensor

Your chest needs to be sticking out and your shoulders need to be rolled backwards. You should outstretch your left hand. Make sure to keep your fingers folded together and your right hand over them.

With your right hand gradually press the left one toward your body. This will strengthen your grip, which in turn will reduce your risk of injury while lifting heavy objects.
