Here are some simple, easy stretches that can be performed in moderation for the relief of sciatic nerve pain:
1. The Standing Back Twist
Stand with one foot positioned on a chair, and place the outside of your opposite hand on your raised knee. Placing your other hand on your hip, rotate your upper body while keeping your hips facing forward. This position can be held for thirty seconds at a time.
2. The Knee Raise
Lie on your back and draw one knee up towards your chest, keeping the other leg straight on the floor. Keeping your shoulders on the floor, push down with your knee while pulling up with your hands.
