Top Sciatica Exercises For Sciatica Pain Relief
Posted by admin in Prescription Pain Killers on March 19th, 2010
Sciatic pain does respond to exercise. In other words doing the proper series of exercises can relief the pain of sciatic. Gentle stretching, strengthening and aerobic all have a role to play in stopping the pain, and rebuilding muscle tone and strength. The goal of these exercises is to develop core muscles which in turn will support the muscles surrounding my spine. This will relieve the pressure on my sciatic nerve.
These top exercises fall into three groups: Stretching, strengthening and aerobic. As I do not have much time in the morning to do exercises I condensed them down to three that work for me.
1. Stretching: Gentle stretching helps to stretch both the muscles and ligaments. Stretching releases tension and tightness and lengths muscles, ligaments and nerves. The first stretch I did was called the bent leg stretch.Lie on your back. It okay to use a small pillow or folded towel to support your head. Bend one knee and pull it towards your chest. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with the other leg.
2. Strengthening: It is important to strengthen the muscles of the abdominal wall and back. My therapist explain that many of these muscles are small and typically are not as strong as they should be. This exercise may seem simple but done on a regular basis is effective. Lying on you back, place your hands on your tummy below the navel. Now draw in your stomach. The goal is to press your stomach against your spine. Hold for a count of three and repeat 10 times try to do three sets of 10.
3. Aerobic: No I do not mean jumping jacks or running marathons. Just take a walk! Walking accomplishes three things it will stretch your leg muscles, strengthen core muscles and help you build endurance. When I first started I could only walk around the house and that was with the help of a cane. Now I can easily do 30 minutes without my trusty cane. Walking is such a great all around exercise that if you only did one exercise makes it walking.
Sciatica pain responds well to exercise. It iss smart to see a trained therapist first to get a proper evaluation and exercise routine. Remember to do these exercises daily, twice a day if possible. By being persistent and taking it easily at first these top sciatic exercise will relieve your sciatica pain. Of course a complete program of customize exercises is necessary for complete recovery. I only touch on what in my opinion is the top one that worked for me.
