There are causes of sciatica and of course differing levels of severity. The info in this video may be great for some people suffering from sciatica, but less useful for others. You should consult with your personal health professional if you have sciatica issues.

Sciatic Nerve Pain Rehab – Inflamed Sciatic Nerve

These exercises might just make all the difference for a person suffering from sciatica pain.

The first thing is the get the pressure off the sciatic nerve. For some people, siting down makes te sciatica worse. I actually suffered from this myself. Whenever I would have to ride a long distance in a car, the back of my leg and hip area would ache. Getting out to move around and loosen it up helped almost instantly.

When an area of the sciatic nerve suffers from inflammation, pain can happen anywhere down the leg, hips or low back.

None of the exercises should be painful. They are designed to make the pain better. If it hurts worse, stop.

Consult your personal health professional before attempting these or any other exercises.
