How to Relieve Sciatica Pain
Your sciatic nerve is the longest and widest nerve in the body, starting at your low back and then running down the back of the leg. Sciatica pain, caused from either compression in the low spine or from a tight Piriformis muscle (a small muscle located behind your Gluteus Maximus), can usually go away on its own, but if the pain consists yoga can help relieve that discomfort. Click on ‘Read More’ to check out these 6 yoga poses that either focus on stretching out the Piriformis muscle or stretching/strengthening your low back, which can help to ease the pain and bring back mobility and strength to your back and legs.
*Always consult with your doctor first and gently ease into any pose before increasing intensity and/or duration.
