Pilates
Target muscle groups: Core back muscles.
Starting position and steps: Engage in Pilates exercises emphasizing controlled movements and core activation, avoiding movements that strain the lower back.
Pilates exercises concentrating on core strength and controlled movements can enhance stability, flexibility, and overall body strength while being gentle on the sciatic nerve.
Hamstring Stretches
Target muscle groups: Hamstrings.
Starting position and steps: Sit or stand with one leg extended in front, lean forward from the hips, reaching towards the toes while keeping the back straight.
Gentle hamstring stretches can help in releasing tension and improving flexibility in the hamstrings, which in turn might alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve.
