Well at least for me. Maybe you too.
I have sciatica, not bad but I do have it
and have had it for years. After going to
the Dr. And getting no results I decided
to do something on my own so, I am a
exercise nut and am fully aware of
streaching so decided to do a simple
streach that has helped me eliminate
almost all of the pain....98%.
First, go slowly, don't expect results too
fast, this will take time.
Stand in front of a table, countertop or
something stable so that you can lay your
foot upon without breaking something.
Raise your foot the the top and lay your
heal on the top....While still standing on
the other foot so that your leg is 90
degree from the other one. This may be
very difficult for older people but start
off slow.
Slowly, start moving your upper body
towards the leg (knee) that is on the
table. I can actually touch my nose to my
knee but i've been doing this for years
and am very streched.
You may be able to move only a couple of
inches but hold it for a count of 30
sec.
Keep, doing this everyday religously until
you get fairly streached then do it a
couple of times a week.
Bottom line, I believe this streaches
everything nerves, muscles and tendons up
and down the leg/back to the point that
the pain most people experience will
leave....Naturally.
See your doctor before doing this and make
sure it's ok, but I think it will help
most people with back pain if you stick
with it.

Ok, so has anybody tried the streching or
not?
Just wondering if you have and if there
has been any improvements in your back
pain?
