Quick Home Office Stretch – Sciatica
If you’re working from home and experiencing sciatic pain, a simple floor stretch can help relieve tension and improve mobility. This chiropractic-approved stretch targets the piriformis muscle, which often contributes to sciatic nerve compression.
Seated Piriformis Stretch
This stretch is ideal for reducing sciatic pain while promoting flexibility in the lower back and hips.
How to Perform:
1️⃣ Sit on the floor with both legs extended.
2️⃣ Bend your right knee and cross it over your left leg, placing your right foot flat on the floor.
3️⃣ Keep your back straight and gently twist your torso to the right, placing your left elbow against your right knee for support.
4️⃣ Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides.
5️⃣ Repeat 2–3 times per side for optimal relief.
Why This Stretch Works
✅ Relieves Sciatic Nerve Compression – Helps reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
✅ Improves Hip Mobility – Loosens tight hip muscles that contribute to sciatic discomfort.
✅ Enhances Circulation – Encourages blood flow to the lower back and legs, reducing stiffness.
Consistency is Key! Incorporate this stretch into your daily routine to keep sciatic pain at bay and maintain spinal health. If discomfort persists, consider scheduling a chiropractic consultation for personalized care.
