Sciatica Exercises

Consult your healthcare provider to see about adding exercises into your daily routine. The right kinds of exercises can help with sciatica pain relief.

Once you get the go-ahead, grab a log sheet, dairy or journal to plan and monitor your progress. And before you begin your workout, review these tips so that you have a safe, healthy session.

1. Bring along a water bottle and drink plenty of water during breaks.

2. Bring along or wear comfortable clothes; maybe sweat pants and t-shirt, so you won't have an excuse of stopping due to discomfort (like due to tight clothes).

3. Work our during your peak energy time period, generally early morning for most people, so that you put your best foot forward into your workout plan. No skimpy workouts wanted!

4. You don't need an intensive warm up period before you exercise. Walking can get you going. However, after your workout, basic stretching exercises are an excellent end to your sessions.

5. Don't focus on what magazines, gym guests, television programs and others say you should do. Work one on one with your doctor and a well experienced professional trainer to develop a customized plan that's just for you. Get in a small group, if you want and can. Or team up with a partner: spouse, neighbor, work buddy, etc.
