[@gloriaknight3682]

Some good help here but it is confusing as to what you can do and cant do. My suggestion is either at the start just show the exercises not to do without explanation, and afterwards show these with alternative exercises and or provide a list that just names the 3 exercises.

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

Sorry we do our best to give options. Truth is not everyone has leg pain for the same reason. Some people will get better with things like sit up.... others will get worse....but MOST people do not get better with stretching. If you want help, we can discuss more 1 on 1. www.p2sportscare.com/contact-form-youtube/

I do so agree, it is confusing.

[@shyamalajayaramsarma4765]

[@mirnaenlosangeles.]

Very confusing. I even came to see the comments to verify whether it was just me that was confused.

[@zoyakhan-tw8fv]

Very confusing simply you can just show those exercises which should not do in sciatica.

Thanks for the feedback about this video everyone! Together we will defeat sciatica!! We read your comments and we've noticed many of you are getting the idea that these sciatica exercise modifications can help some people (but make others feel even worse).

Hello there! The prone knees to elbows exercise blew my mind, thank you for that! I reached from shins to toes with no change in effort afterwards...what does this indicate usually? Weak psoas or groin muscles? What would you recommend to look into further to figure out what the cause of the hamstring tightness is? Thank you again for the great tips here

Hi Guy, I was suggested to undergo ESWT = extracorporeal shock wave therapy by an overseas doctor. Was able to find the therapy locally and it worked. Fortunately here in my country Indonesia the cost is not as expensive. The therapy took about 15 minutes for each part and max 3 parts at one time visit. I was supposed to get 5-6 times on the L4&5 but after the 2nd time it worked well and the doctor combined with my left knee, other time the right parts depend on what issues came out. It is much much better now that I can walk normally after total 6 times visit. When covid started the therapy was on hold but seems that I don't really need anymore. Maybe my this could help, good luck.

good video. solid information. i cant believe how many people give misinformation when it comes to sciatica. telling people to stretch or even worse roll with a tennis ball. which all makes it worse. - in piriformis syndrome (also called fake sciatica) the piriformis is tight because it is too weak. so if you have it you need to strenghten the gluetes (&upper hamstrings) and not to stretch them

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

The thing is it those things work for some people but many it doesnt and it makes them worse. Treatments are specific to the type of sciatica that you have. Yep Glute works and anti extension (isometric core) works well... but sometimes people need a way to cool the nerve down. We cover some of these in our videos and our webinar. bit.ly/3fasELH

:). Opps! We just released an article on sciatica that should help you understand what needs to be done. Enjoy. www.p2sportscare.com/articles/spine/what-sciatica-feels-like/

[@netasezan9300]

There many yoga poses for sciatica that do the things yoy say not to do ,maby tell us what poses in yoga we shouldn't do

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

It all depends on WHY you are have your sciatica. Some people get better with flexion, some don't. This is why in the video we say "it depends." Read our brand new article on sciatica www.p2sportscare.com/articles/spine/what-sciatica-feels-like/

[@indoorexercise8771]

🙏 I think there is so many people are suffering with this problem,so many people giving suggestions and exercises to this problem but my suggestion is only don't do front bending exercises. walking, jogging, some streching exercises is enough but we should do every day with out neglect. for curing may takes months are years depends upon the patient health,and also for this problem there is so many reasons hereditary, medication,rest less works, work only by sitting, food deficiancy like so many reasons so we learn to live with this problem just like carona

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

If you want some specific help just reach out. We see people just like you weekly and can provide some very helpful insight. [e-mail]

[@vallee3140]

I'd love to see somebody actually suffering with Sciatica do this, easy when you arent in pain.

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

We see people with sciatica weekly and they do very well with some movements and not others. We have found movement can be used as a very effective (and sometime immediate) way to reduce pain into the leg. We have a few more specific videos on our channel on different types of sciaticas and triggers. Here is the playlist link. kzbin.info/aero/PL4ia_VsGiqb-oVLJ26FKqPQIr-1WGysZS

Sciatica sucks man I woulda always workout in high school till one day I felt a pain that began to be so unbearable I went to the doctor and somehow i don’t even know how but I got sciatica and man working out sucks now

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

Sciatica is pretty simple to reduce most of the time. Most people don't even need medication. Next you should get the free webinar I made on sciatica. It’s way more in depth than this video (longer as well), but if you watch the whole thing it covers more info than you’ll get with random Internet searches.

What happens if you start working out then it acts up so then you stop because it’s flared up then you go back after a couple of weeks to resting it amd it starts to act up again.. every time I start working out it starts to act up.. I can’t do any exercises so I really need to know what whole workout I can do to lose weight to heal it to where it doesn’t act up every time I start to workout.. that’s my dilemma.. I know I need to lose weight but I can’t cuz then it starts to act up.. help!!!!!!!

Several years ago I had sciatica so bad in my right leg that I could only limp. I could not walk for long periods of time and I was restricted to only transportation in a car and not on a bus or anything else. I was going to the physical therapist place to do therapy to help loosen up the sciatica. They had me do what is called a half push-up. That is where you leave your legs flat and you only push up with your arms with your torso. That was so wrong and put me in so much pain that I was in tears. The goal is to push your sciatica pain back up into the back and not back down your leg into your foot. Yes, I left that place immediately and went to a better place. I can now walk normally and feel so much better. It only took four months of physical therapy at the new place to get me back to walking normally. It was a lot of work and well worth it. My sciatica is under control with the exercises they taught me. Just a warning to those of you suffering with sciatica.

[@Performance-Place-chiropractor]

Yep exercises can work better than medication and surgery most of the time with sciatica. It takes knowing the right exercises and then doing them!

I think the body is more resilient than we think. Personally I don’t nt think any tool, tape and physical treatment will "move" anything "back into place" and keep it there.
