6 Stretches To Keep Sciatic Back And Hip Pain Under Control
Forearm Extensor Stretch
Start by rolling your shoulders back, then put one arm straight to the front. Flex your hand down. Cup this hand with the other then, pull it towards your body until you feel a stretch.
Camel Pose
This is a popular yoga pose. Kneel with your knees hip-width apart with your palms facing forward on your back. Gently push your hips up and forward and bend up. You can leave your hands on the ground or move them to your ankles for a deeper stretch.
Wide Forward Fold
You can do this sitting or standing. If you are sitting, sit with your feet apart, knees straight, then reach forward with both arms while relaxing your neck. When standing, stand with feet apart then hinge forward touching the floor, if you can.
Frog Pose
Get on all fours. Lift your shins off the floor and attempt to reach back and grab them gently with your palms. As you press down, lift your head and chest off the floor to counterbalance.
Wide Side Lunge
Toes pointed forward, take a wide standing stance, then bend forward trying to touch the floor with your fingers. Next, walk both your hands to one foot and bend the opposite knee. Turn your other foot in a way that your toes face the ceiling.
Butterfly Stretch
Sit on the floor. Spread your knees while keeping your feet touching. Sit with your back straight and press your knees down to feel a stretch.
Conclusion
