A Common Stretch for Helping Relieve Sciatica
Here a demonstration is given for a common stretch for sciatica relief that works on the piriformis muscle and attaching ligaments and tendons. It is important to relax first before you do the stretch, this is helped by performing relaxing breaths first. The stretch, as illustrated, is done gently three times on each side. Breathing and relaxing are important to do during the stretch. A modification of the stretch is given for the sitting position so you can do it while you are at work.
