5 Stretches to Relieve Sciatica Pain

Stress is held in the body and one of the most common injuries to flare up when we’re stressed tends to be sciatica.

I wanted to share 5 of my favorite stretches you can do when you’re experiencing sciatica pain:

  • Figure four stretch lying down (leg up vs leg down which is more intense)

  • Seated upright knee to opposite shoulder stretch

  • Flat pigeon

  • Upright pigeon (less intense)

  • Seated figure 4 in a chair

If you’re super tight or in a lot of pain, I’d give the less intense stretches a shot first and then try the more intense versions.

Let me know if these are helpful for you by leaving me a comment below!
