Stop Sciatica Pain with Pilates

[@SlideShowChris]

I’m an active 30year old that has recently suffered with two bouts of back pain/ sciatica. I could barely move, sit, stand or lay without being in pain for the past 3 months. I’ve followed this routine everyday for two weeks now and my range of movement has increased dramatically and my pain significantly relieved. Thank you so much for this routine :)

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear that this helped you so much!

[@msgenevajb]

Wow, I’m going to give this a try.

[@ameliamonica5199]

Me too!

[@MindBodyNurseCoach]

Me Too! 😊

[@coraulson2720]

*I was a Sciatica sufferer for almost 6 months. I was a bit skeptical but I was in so much pain I was willing to try anything to get a good nights sleep. By the end of one week 80% of the pain had gone. It took about six weeks before all the symptoms disappeared. Thank you*.

[@johncausey5344]

All I can say is wow… I’ve dealt with sciatic pain since May of this year.. Been to the chiropractor, been to sports medicine doctors, done hours upon hours of stretching… Massages, you name it, I’ve tried it… Then I stumbled on this angel… Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge with us.. You’re truly a God send!

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear that you are now pain free!!!

[@aidenvazquez8667]

This is my sons page but I’ve been doing this workout for 5 days and all I can say is WOW WOW this has decreased my pain significantly in such a short amount of time. I had sciatic pain back in 2017 and did therapy for 8 months out of the gym and I have been fine and recently triggered it again and I was so sad and in so much pain and this has been god sent!!!! Literally thanks so much for sharing this!!

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear this!!! It's not fun living in pain.

[@laraogel]

Every few months if I don't keep up with these specific sets of exercises my pain is back, this has been the most helpful set I have found online, thank you Pilatesology for your generosity and commitment to true pilates.

[@susanclark9053]

I`ve looked for a back pain treatment program for few months and this back pain guidebook, MySciaticaPain9.blogspot.com fits me flawlessly. Since it helped my back pain, I`ve got no problem sleeping any longer. I love this guide. It`s firm and exactly what I was hunting for..?

[@manishasharma6264]

One of the best pilates video for the lower back pain caused due to sciatica. I have been in severe pain for the past 6 months. Have started doing pilates video following this video and for the first time in the 6 months I am able to sit for an hour in one go. It was impossible for me till a week back.

[@stefanmitrovic973]

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "how does sciatica happen?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Venayden Wanillian Method - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my colleague got great results with it.

[@clarissasison8104]

Thank you for this. After doing your routine for almost a week now, it’s been 3 days already and I’m not taking my painkillers. Thank God I saw your video. ❤

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear it!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@msgenevajb]

Thank you, I’ve been doing this for the last several days and it has made a significant difference in my back pain.

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy you are feeling better :)

[@lynnblack6493]

Perfect. Trying to get my 35 year old son to try this routine. All ages benefit from Pilates!

[@PILATESOLOGY]

That's wonderful. Good luck :)

[@MindBodyNurseCoach]

Thank You Very Much. First time doing this. It felt great, and I am hopeful that it will help with this sciatica.

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I hope so too!

[@rosiemg]

Thank you for this! I have done this for 1-week straight and the sciatica has been reduced. It’s still lingering but I know that it would be worse if not for this video. I searched other ‘Pilates for sciatica’ and even Pilates for beginners videos and watched about 5 and none were as thorough and effective with the exercises and flow. I do have another favorite Pilates/physical therapist you tuber, I am grateful to know about you both! Thank you!

[@frontlinersaudi8076]

this is a very good sciatica exercise, but please if you have been diagnosed with disc bulge then you gotta skip the bending forward exercises of this video. God bless us! Happy New Year! 😘💕

[@dmarti47]

Yes. That’s my case. I also find that back ends worsen my symptoms. Instead of forward folds, I suggest “child’s pose” to decompress the spine.

[@melvinbotha3661]

When I sit for too long I have pains in my back lower back.The exercise helps only for a while when standing .Will it ever go away?

[@mtuguti]

Thank you soo much , can really feel the difference , I have been in soo much pain and this is great

[@reginamarques5954]

I have been doing it for three days and it has been helpful. Thank you!

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@annejeltema8181]

Thank you for putting up this video. I've been doing your video for about a month now twice a day on the advice of my sister (also a Pilates instructor). I've even recommended it to a neighbor who, like me, has a bulging disc. This video truly helps!

[@MindBodyNurseCoach]

My chiropractor said (and I’ve read) that when sciatic pain localizes in the lower back, as opposed to radiating down the legs, that means it’s getting better. After doing this routine last night, and again this morning, the pain that had been radiating down my legs ceased, and localized in my low back. I’m on my way to complete and total healing. Thank You 💜🙏🏽 💜

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm happy to hear you are getting better 🤗

[@deevapilatesandwellness546]

This is amazing thank you! I have students who suffer with Sciatic back and hip pain and this will help me to help them. Truly appreciate you!

[@rossleto4250]

Thank you for your video. I have been suffering with pain due to sciatica for the last 2 months, not being able to walk or bent correctly. I have just completed your exercises and for the first time in 2 months my pain has been reduced by 90 percent. Thank you for your professionalism and I’m looking forward to completing other exercises

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear that this workout is helping! I hope you are totally pain free ASAP!

[@rollingnome]

I'm a very skeptical person, but find myself humbled & astonished! I've had debilitating sciatic nerve pain for over three weeks now. It has kept me off work, too. I'm normally good at looking after myself, but today, I incorporated the exercises in this video, and the improvement has been eye opening! My mobility & discomfort has reduced considerably. Thank you! ❤

[@PILATESOLOGY]

I'm so happy to hear that!!! Keep up the great work and I hope that you are living pain free soon 🤗

I have pain that keeps me from doing much at all, but if I do this is the morning I'm able to get through the day with much less pain. I even felt it in my stomach the next day (which shows how weak my core had become since my back and hip pain kept increasing and i began avoiding activity -just made it worse!). Thank you for this.

[@pearl6038]

Thank you so much, I just did this for the first time and it felt amazing and I really think it will make a difference. I've been struggling for two months with sciatica and it's reduced my ability to be able to walk even up the street. I used to walk miles every day and I don't drive. Looking forward to results as I continue.

[@SoniaBoz]

I have had sciatica since 17yrs old, I'm now 59, some of these exercises she is demonstrating here are the exact exercises I have been told by several physicians never to do, wonder what qualifications she has to recommend this series of stretches.

[@PILATESOLOGY]

Hi Sonia, I'm not a medical doctor but there are many reasons a person can have sciatica so it's always advised to use common sense before exercising and know what is contraindicated for your particular condition. In my 25 years teaching Pilates the exercises in this video have provided relief to the majority of my clients but I always go by what their doctor recommends for movement before giving them. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for the exercise. I feel better now. I love you too my friend ❤️❤️ Thank for the exercise.

[@carolcumbie8346]

no but a slipped disc can cause sciatica . Sciatica is the lower back and goes down on one or both legs. Sciatica nerve runs all the way down to the foot on both legs.

[@francescamilano2344]

There are a few tips for relieving back pain pain at home Eat raw food such as garlic Take juices and thiamine Don't lift heavy items (I learned these and why they work from Zats back blueprint site )

Yes and no. More correctly, a slipped disc creates an environment that sciatica could result. Keep doing this video. You should find yourself a CBP Chiropractor.

I've never done Pilates (or any other exercise before) what do you mean when you say "actively engage the muscles"? What does it mean when you say to push through and plug down?

Hi Kayla - engage your muscles means squeeze them--make them work. Plug down means pull your hip to the floor like they are plugging your leg bone into the hip socket. Please feel free to reach out to support with any question at [e-mail]

IF YOU HAVE LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY BE CAREFUL DOING THESE EXERCISES. These seem to be more for piriformis sciatica, I have a herniated disc at L5/S1 and tried this video with little pain while doing it, but immediately after I entered a terrible flair up for almost a week that only got marginally better every day. PLEASE BE CAREFUL if you have a similar injury, and if hamstring stretches trigger your pain usually. Not knocking at the instructor at all she seems very knowledgeable but consider avoiding if your sciatica stems from a disc issue
