Do you have sciatica? Do you feel a radiating nerve pain down your butt, the back of your thigh, and maybe even down into your lower leg as well? If you’re looking for simple but effective exercises to reduce pain and heal strong, this video is for you.
In 90% of cases, sciatica is the result of an impinged nerve root upstream in the lumbar spine. The nerve pinch can come from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or another inflammatory injury. The pain can vary from a mild ache to an electric shock and is often accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg. Sitting for long periods often makes it worse and while movement is required for healing, it can be challenging to determine what helps and what hurts.
In this video you’ll find a 10-minute flow designed to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and hopefully provide some pain relief. Forward bending movements of all types often make sciatica worse, so the sequence of poses shared in this video is practiced with a slight lumbar curve throughout.
The biggest mistake most of us make when trying to heal is attempting too much, too soon. So, start gently, and if any of these poses worsen your pain, modify, or skip the pose altogether. Let’s get started!

DISCLAIMER - Please do not use this video to diagnose or treat a severe injury. If you have a major back injury, if you're having trouble getting up and down from the floor, you feel dizzy, or you've lost control of your bladder, please see a doctor. In all cases, you should check with a trusted healthcare provider before starting any self-care routine.
ANATOMY
Your sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in your body, in some areas it’s as wide as 1.5 to 2mm. It starts at your lower back where five nerve roots at L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3 come together and runs down the back of your leg, innervating your hamstrings and then branching out into most of the muscles of the lower leg. As a result, a sciatic nerve impingement way up in your lumbar spine can sometimes manifest in pain and weakness all the way down in your foot.
BEST PRACTICES
These poses assume you’re already in pain, so the approach is gentle. While healing, your pain should either stay the same or reduce, never worsen. When sciatica flares up, it might be impossible to move pain-free, however, do not practice any movements if your pain level increases beyond a level four out of ten in discomfort.

Thank you very much for your detailed demo and explanations. I suffer from this for some years now. I will start of with the practices immediately.
Gratefully yours.🙏🙏
Hope it helps, Sam!
My pain in the back of my legs are when I wake up battle to walk and get out of bed. I'm really going to try these stretch exercises
Me as well. Always the worst when I wake up in the more..will definitely start these exercises. My sister has dry needling to help with her sciatic issues. Her therapist advised it was very important to do exercises to strengthen her core. So far so good for her.
You will find that the issue your experiencing is caused by dead glute syndrome,ok it will initially be from compression on the cauda Aquina nerve probably affecting the superior gluteal nerve and femoral nerve aswell as the sciatic nerve,there are other issues due to right fascia in the affected leg which you should address on a daily basis it's not pleasant by the way but you need to do it,the disc is worse on waking due the the accumulation of fluid in the body during the night hence the disc bulge will compress the nerve but it will ease off slightly during the day however the overriding factor is that if you do not undertake a daily glute strengthening routine to address the glute max and medius then the load bearing muscles for your hips and lower back are basically the piriformis and the glute minimus and smaller hip stabilisers which are not meant to carry the load so your problem will be ongoing,trust me it's uncomfortable doing the strengthening exercises but it will take upto 2, months to reignite your glutes totally and your problem will begin to resolve after three weeks of beginning it.
How your feeling after you try this video
Some mornings still sore
Thank you🙂
I will try this after massage therapy, this is a good exercise .
Thank you very much this actually helped me alot.🎉😊
How many days did you get the results bro?How many days did you get the results bro?

شكرا لك❤
Thanks for the information realy very nice video for me also ....I will try it must
Thankyou for such a relaxing result it's help my pain bless you❤
Thankyou
You are the best … I hope I get better with these stretches … have been suffering with severe sciatica since 3 years …. No Doctor could treat that .. have spent almost $5000 bugs so far..
This stretch felt amazing. This is my 2nd week of going through a sciatic flare up episode from attempting to lean forward and do toe touches that had me as a grown man laying on the floor in agony almost in tears not being able to stand on my own 2 feet! I’m doing much better by staying hydrated, stretching and staying away from alcohol!! Being a gym rat this has been almost torture not being able to lift weights and run but I’ll be back in no time!!
Glad the stretch helped! Recovery from sciatic flare-ups can be tough. Take it slow, listen to your body, and you'll be back in the gym soon!

Hi Lucas, love your videos btw. Would you also recommend backward moves for those with sciatica caused by spondylolisthesis? I read conflicting information on that end and appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
Good information
Thanks Biswajit!

Thank you very much I've been having pain for two and a half weeks does this help for lower back pain from bulging discs
Hope it helps.
This sciatica is so so so depressing and debilitating, how I pray to Almighty God to give me my fitness back so that I can once again do my 10 km running, running was like meditation for me, currently I tried everything except surgery, to get relief from sciatica, but this condition just aggravates never gets cured, any amount of yoga, any amount of PT doesn't cure it, you never know which thing that you do, pisses off sciatic nerve and then in turn it gives you more and more pain, currently only 10 min continuous sitting is deadly painful and irritating, my right leg has thinned/shrunk 1.5 cm, knees look uneven, my legs are asymmetrical, it's the punishment sent to me from God, so I will have to endure it repenting for my actions and reminiscing over the time when I used to run 5-10 km daily without feeling any kind of pain.....😢😢😢
Feel for you. I’m exactly the same. 5 months in . So frustrating
try thai massage
Eish I've got this pain also & it's so depressing....
Hope it helps, Mduduzi Pinyana!
May Allah help you brother ! Don’t get disappointed , I could do many things I can’t now . I know sometimes its frustrating but Rely on Allah’s mercy and go on ,
Lucas, I was working on my SI Joint using your protocol and it helped but now I have really bad sciatica and most of the poses you offer hurt too bad to do. I am scared this pain will never go away.
That sounds challenging. Sciatica can be quite painful and frustrating. It's important to prioritize your comfort and listen to your body. If the poses in the protocol are causing too much pain, it may be best to take a break and consult with a healthcare professional who can provide specific guidance and exercises to address your sciatica. Remember, healing takes time and patience.

I am struggling with my nerves pull on my left leg from the back pain. After receiving the epidural, I have no back pain but still have irritated nerve muscle pull on my knees and sometimes on my foot while walking. Only some weakness on my left foot toes.
What do you recommend? Do I need a surgery or it can be healed with exercise
I have all these symptoms. Took 6 weeks of PT. Got better but it all came back over time.
It seems your symptoms have returned despite previous physical therapy. Consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and personalized treatment options may be beneficial.

Hi, I have disc buldge in l5 s1 and my right leg is in pain from last 1 month. Will this disc automatically goes to its original position ever or no? Plz answer
Hello Anuj - spondylolisthesis is not so common but if you truly have a disc that is out of place, for sure go see a doctor to check options. It's unlikely to find it's way back on its own. A disc bulge does not go back but the damage heals.
My Sciatica pain makes my hip not symatrical 😢, is there any exercise to fix it?
I really look forward to hear from you
Thanks a bunch
To address sciatica-related hip asymmetry, focus on gentle exercises like bridges, pelvic tilts, and hip stretches to improve flexibility and alignment. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs.

Hi Sir
One of my lumbar approach ,but my pain is different some time in my waist and some time in my hip
Can you tell me Sir that is it treatable and i completely recovery ?
Or No
Please tell me ❤
Hello Milad - waist pain is not usually indicative of sciatica.
Hi in starting i have pain in my foot and slowly it came from foot to right thigh and buttock.Also when i try to bend forward then pain started in my lower back. I have to bend my right leg to bend forward properly. Is this sciatica??
It's always best to get checked by a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hm me bhi huaa hai sir par nahi thik ho raha hai thik
This exercise if spondiolysthesis ,spondyolysis,and L5 S1 protrusion can do
What is good for calf cramps please
Hi janice - hard to say, can be many causes. Worth trying magnesium before bed though.
I take magnesium every day and this stops the calf cramps. Takes about 2 weeks to get results. Been doing this for years and if I stop cramps return after about a week
Sir, I am struggling with slip disc problem for almost 4 months now, it happened when i was doing squats in gym, the problem is on my right side lower back. (one side only). It becomes very painful when I try to bend forward 😐 pls help me sir 🙏
Hi Sunny - hope this video helps!
L5 S1 problem back pain 😢 7month pain
Posture couldn't see due to the caption. Please shift the caption to vacant space.
I suffer from disc bulging the only problem I have is namb rectus femoris and not in the back of my thigh why is that if u don't mind me asking.
It could be due to various reasons. Best to consult with a healthcare professional or a specialist who can conduct a thorough examination and provide personalized insights into your specific condition.

When i stand after sitting for a while is when the pain really kicks in for a few seconds but it goes away after walking it off
Sorry to hear, this happens commonly... walking can be great.
Hello sir I’m from India. I’ve spine problem from last few months (loss of lumbar lordosis) can I do this exercise regularly?
It's always best to consult with a doctor before starting any new exercise program, especially with spine issues. They can advise you on the safest and most effective exercises for your specific condition.

@@YOGABODY.Official okay sir! Thank you 🙏🏻
Why do the first 2 exercises make me feel dizzy/ light headed? I would love to know what is going on with that
Dizziness during exercises may be due to factors like changes in blood flow or neck positioning. Listen to your body, and if concerns persist, consult a doctor.

The side move created some serious cracking and popping!!!!🤣hope this is normal🤣
My sciatica comes in when i kneel, it get very bad and i have to stand and massage my thigh which does not always work, its agony, but i have learned to live with it.
It can be challenging to deal with. It might be beneficial to consult with a doctor. They can provide personalized advice and exercises to help manage sciatica symptoms. In the meantime, gentle stretches and maintaining good posture may offer some relief. Take care, and we hope you find the support you need for your discomfort.

L5s1 stenosis in my case. Steroid shot it immediately.
How long does it take to heal? No one talks about the time these exercises take to permanently heal?
Healing time for sciatica varies. Some feel relief in weeks, others need months. Consistent exercise is key.

Can weight also cause back problems?
For sure yes
Why is there not a 30minute to hour long flow on YT for those suffering form sciatica?
good idea!
SCIATICA
Has your doctor or chiropractor misdiagnosed you with "sciatica"?
When you're diagnosed with "sciatica", it can be very alarming. However, as long as a spinal injury has been ruled out, you're not feeling sciatic nerve pain. You're feeling muscle referral pain from your quadtratus lumborum and glutes.
Doctors call it "sciatica" because they have to give you a medical diagnosis, and honestly, they don't know any better.
There is hope!!
This is one of the easiest things for me to release. Of course, my clients must do their part for complete resolution, but the results can come very quickly.
I experienced this "diagnosis" 10 years ago along with a bulging disc. The pain was so severe that I had to use a walker.
Doctors didn't know how to help me. They offered me pain meds, which didn't touch the pain, muscle relaxers, injections, and suggested I may need surgery. And sadly, my chiropractor was making it worse, but I had nowhere else to turn.
Then I met a trigger point massage therapist! Which is what led me to become a therapist focusing on chronic pain.
These exercises create movement and warm up these areas, so they're likely very helpful.
❤great information
I have the same problem, I walk with 2 crutches for 4 years now. the physical therapist made it very worse.
I will try to find a trigger point massage therapist.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I appreciate it.

My sciatica is severe. A chipped piece of disc is lodged in the s1 nerve. Right foot is partially numb. This is week 5. Not in severe pain anymore. Just aching throbbing sometimes, low back pain and numbness. May need to have a procedure to remove chip in s1 nerve. Will a cortisone shot help?
Sorry to hear about your situation. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the potential benefits and risks of this treatment in your specific case. They can provide personalized advice based on your condition.
