Managing Sciatica Pain from Sitting

Why sitting makes sciatica pain worse.

Sciatica is nerve pain, usually from irritation of the sciatic

nerve

roots in the low back.

And when you sit, your pelvis rotates backwards,

lumbar spine goes into flexion,

and this puts more pressure on your discs, which puts more pressure on your sciatic

nerve and results in the pain you have today. But guess what?

You can fix it. Step one: extend your pelvis support to rotate your

pelvis

forward, which will push your lumbar spine back

into extension and take pressure

off your disc. If you don't have an awesome Anthros

chair, you can use a water

bottle or a towel to get by instead.

Step two: that'll get you through the day, but you need actual

exercises to fix it long term. Lay flat on your stomach and extend

one leg as high as you can. This is restoring hip extension,

which will help

reverse all the hip flexion you get from a long day of sitting, and it's

activating your glute and lower back muscles into extension as

well.

Then step three: use our lumbar extension exercise to focus

on

restoring the mobility you are losing in your low back by reversing

all the

flexion from sitting. This will reverse disc pressure away from

the nerve and

reduce your pain fast. And this combination of better sitting

and better

exercises will get you the relief that you've been after.
