Water Therapy Exercises
Target muscle groups: Varied, depending on the exercise.
Starting position and steps: Engage in exercises designed specifically for water therapy, such as leg lifts, knee-to-chest exercises, or water walking.
Water therapy exercises are performed in a pool or shallow water. These exercises aid in reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening muscles in a low-impact environment, minimizing stress on the sciatic nerve.
Yoga
