💥 **Sciatica Pain? Try These Simple At-Home Stretches** 💆♂️💆♀️
If you've ever felt that sharp or burning pain shooting from your lower back down your leg — you're not alone. Sciatic nerve pain can be frustrating and limit your daily life. The good news? There are **gentle, effective stretches** you can do at home to help relieve the tension.
✨ Here are 3 simple moves to try today:
1. **Knee-to-Chest Stretch**
Lie on your back, gently pull one knee toward your chest while keeping the other leg straight. Hold for 20–30 seconds. Switch sides.
👉 Helps release pressure from the lower back.
2. **Seated Spinal Twist**
Sit on the floor, legs extended. Cross your right foot over your left knee, place your right hand behind you, and twist gently to the right. Hold, then switch sides.
👉 Great for spine mobility and relieving nerve compression.
3. **Figure 4 Stretch (Piriformis Stretch)**
Lie on your back, cross your right ankle over your left knee, and gently pull your left thigh toward your chest.
👉 Targets the piriformis muscle, often the culprit in sciatic pain.
⚠️ **Always move slowly and mindfully** — never push into sharp pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek professional help.
And remember: while stretching helps, **regular massage therapy** can go deeper in releasing muscle tension and supporting long-term relief.
