Exercise 2: Lying hamstring stretch
Ideal for releasing tension in the back of the thigh, which is often abbreviated and tight in people with sciatica.
How to do it:
- Lie on your back on a comfortable surface.
- Bring the affected leg toward the abdomen.
- Hold it below your thigh, and slowly stretch your knee as far as you can without forcing it.
- Bend again and repeat the movement.
- Do 10 repetitions , and do 3 sets with rest between each one.
