📌 *5 Great Stretches For Instant Sciatica Pain Relief!*
If you're dealing with sciatic nerve pain and looking for immediate relief, you’ve come to the right place! In this video, I’ll guide you through 5 powerful stretches designed to ease that painful sciatica. These stretches target your lower back, hips, and legs to help reduce discomfort and get you moving more freely in just minutes.
🔍 *What is Sciatica?*
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back, through your hips, down your legs, and into your feet. When this nerve gets irritated or compressed, it can cause sharp, shooting pain, tingling, or numbness. This pain can make even simple movements feel impossible.
❓ *What Causes Sciatica Symptoms?*
Sciatica symptoms often result from issues like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle tightness in the hips and lower back. When muscles around the sciatic nerve tighten or compress, they can irritate the nerve, causing the pain to travel down the leg. Understanding the source of the issue is key to finding the right relief.
💪 *Best Exercises for Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief*
Stretching and gentle movement are some of the best ways to relieve sciatica pain. In this video, I’ll show you five stretches that target the areas most affected by sciatica, helping to ease the tension and pressure on the sciatic nerve. These stretches are easy to follow and can provide instant relief when done correctly.

my father has been experiencing sciatic pain very bad the last week, nothing has helped so far, he cant even sit down to eat dinner because he cant sit long enough, ive tried telling him to go to the ER or walk in, try ice an then heat, pain meds, muscle relaxer, nothing has helped so far I feel so bad because I want to help but I dont know how, im not a doctor... I wanted to thank you for putting this up here for everyone I look forward to having him try these exercises to see if they help at all. Thanks man!
You are so welcome! I hope these help him out!
You're a good son 🏅
I did something that helped me that no pt has said and I will try again tonight
What is it tho?!?@gabrielcarrasco602
Did these stretches help?
Thank you Sit, I had been dealing with severe sciatica and couldn’t walk for the last three days. I started doing your stretches yesterday and this morning and I’m already 10 times better.
I can't walk for 3 months did 1 thing and I was doing better today.. I've tried everything
This is my first time ever having sciatic nerve pain and it is BRUTAL! Mine is way too angry to get that far but I’m starting with the earliest of these steps to see how it does. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll follow up once I start seeing improvement
I hope you find this helpful!
Bro I've been doing all this for 3 months n nothing.. I did something that no pt has mentioned and it took 5 hours of my day before I felt pain.. I usually feel right out of bed
I've been sore for over a week and didn't think this was ever going away. After performing these stretches the pain was gone!!!!! I still can't believe it but this really worked for me. Thank you very much.
What wonderful news! Thanks for sharing!
I recently injured my back and I use 3 and 4 from the video and it helps relieve the stress in my lower back. I’m going to work on doing all 5 daily, thanks from Alberta CA
I wanted to say thank you so very much for sharing this helpful information/guide. I was in so much pain. Even with the aid of medication. The pain felt raw. These stretches have provided relief immediately. Thank you with all my heart.
You are so welcome! I appreciate your comment!
FINALLY GOT SOME FREAKIN RELIEF AND EVERYONE YOU WONT BELIEVE HOW.. ALLL THE PT DIDNT DO MUCH BUT WHAT I DID I GUESSED AND I SLEPT NO PAIN FOR FIRST TIME EVER
I experienced sciatic nerve pain yesterday after a long afternoon sleep and it was so painful and irritating that i could not walk properly without pain. I tried your stretching exercises 1, 2 and 3 while on bed. I managed to sleep with reduced pain and lo! I just woke up without the severe sciatic pain. I can still feel slight pain when i sit or when walking briskly but far better than yesterday. Thank you for your demo video!
Thank you for these. I'm in a desperate situation with week 4 of sciatica struggle. MRI on the way, but unless I'm standing or moving around, I'm not doing so hot. I'm going to roll with these stretches. thank you
How are you feeling?
I hope you're doing better.
Thank you, week 4 of my sciatica. waiting to see a neurologist. So painful!
Love your videos! Thank you for making these and spreading all this knowledge. I’m not 100% sure of the cause of my back pain and neither are the doctors but starting physical therapy then finding your videos for at home has been a total game changer. Any time I’m in pain I turn to these moves 💚
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing these exercises for sciatica pain. What a great help and relieved my numbness, tingling and pain. It's very effective for me including the flossing exercise. Thank you and God bless you Dr. Jared Beckstrand! 🙏💕
You're so welcome!
Ive suffered from this pain for months straight, I'm a very limber individual for an almost 40 year old guy, but every winter for the past few years this pain strikes. Last winter was the worst. This year i knew what was causing it and have been using these stretches to give me some relief. It works, even if it's just temporary, it makes life bearable and has kept it from getting near the level it was last year.
I’ve been suffering from sciatic and foot pain for the past
two weeks. I happened upon your video for sciatic pain . The flossing seems to be helping a lot. I can get up and do a few chores before needing to rest again and I slept better last night. I’m gonna continue with these stretching exercises before I move to the self traction. Thank you so much for this helpful advice!!
Just wanted to thank you. thank you very much, I was experiencing the pain on regular intervals. I just searched for instant pain relief for sciatica and your video popped up. After the 3rd exercise the pain just vanished. will continue these exercises from now on. I hope this will definitely help me as it worked instantly now. Thanks again.
I woke up last night as I have for the past four weeks since I started having pains in my hips and knees. I searched for help on sciatica and found your video.
I started right away following the stretches. I started feeling better after trying this. When I woke up this morning and stretched again. My pain has not totally gone away but surprisingly I am feeling much better. I will continue stretching. Thank you for posting this information. I believe my sciatica started because of a B12 deficiency. I have been eating vegan mostly for about a year. I had taken a B12 supplement but when The bottle ran out. I had symptoms beyond sciatica which cleared up when I started adding meat again and found a sciatica supplement the has B12snd several other vitamins and supplements. But then sciatica became more evident and has been very painful. Your video is a godsend. Thank you again
I appreciate you taking the time to share this!
I've had sciatica a couple of times over the years, I've always overcome it with exercises, but this last week I've had it worse than ever before. I couldn't stand up out of a chair unaided and struggled to walk upstairs. Any slight movement was agony. I've been doing my old exercises without much improvement, I've done yours over a couple of days and I have to say that why it's still not cured yet, the awful pain isn't as bad and it's feeling a lot looser. Quite some improvement in fact, so I'm going to keep on. Thank you for your vid!
Your videos have been a HUGE help for me. I had a lumbar microdissectomy in 2021 and it never helped. I wake up in pain and my 6 year old immediately runs to get the remote and says time for tone and tighten. This is the only way I can get through the day with some relief. Thank you so much
I am so happy to hear that and thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you so much I been in pain for weeks it same to help just started in tonight
I hope you feel better soon!
@toneandtighten not yet hert all night when I layed down sleep sitting up
Wow with the last stretch I felt instant relief, thank you ❤
ALL OF YOUR STRETCHES ARE HELPING! 🎉
These are so great, thank you. I instinctively did most of these during the night when I was too uncomfortable to sleep. I twinged my back last week picking up something heavy, then caught a cold so I've been home from work just sitting. Child's pose is my favorite, and I did that multiple times last night.
You're so welcome! I hope you feel better soon!
Amazing 👏 my sciatica is gone after following these exercises ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
You are doing God’s work sir
Thank you for the help. I’m not sure whether I have static pain. I am just having trouble going up stairs with my left leg. No injury involved but lifting and carrying my 17 month old grandson repeatedly might be the cause. Thank you again.
Love these! Recovering from knee replacement and my sciatic and IT band are angry!
Thank you so much! They worked. I did 3 sets of them, and finally relief.
The timing of this vid has been amazing hehe. Been dealing with this exactly, stretching hamstrings but i didnt help much after. But i feel these ones are IT! Thanks. 🙏
I'm so glad to hear that, @fahdzaa! I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for sharing this is good information
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much .
You're most welcome!
It helped a whole lot ❤
I'm a 72 year old dancer who's still dancing and just got sciatica. Excellent video! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
I have been aching for two weeks, first a light pain with movement and last Friday… omg… I moved the coffee table and whack… the pain was excruciating.
I’m still trying to figure it out what it is. I’ve been in bed since Friday. Hurts seating moving and sleeping. Low pain that doesn’t necessarily travels down the leg, but that when I do the knee up exercise.. I can feel pain on that area.
Thank you for sharing, I’m going keep trying some of the ones I can do. Fingers cross that it helps me. 😑
Hi. Many thanks for great videos. I have had back pain for years but still keep going to the gym. I am following your videos now and already feel better within two days. I never had it checked up so I don't know if it's sciatica or hernia but seems to be getting better. Many many thanks
Love to hear that! Thanks for sharing!
@toneandtighten I need to tone my obliques as I can see some fat there. Do you have any video on toning obliques without causing back pain?
Thanks and best regards
Thank you those examples have helped at least day today and first time trying the right stretches too
Happy to help!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thank you!
You bet!
Perfect timing! I am going to try these exercises from this video. 💕💕
You got this!
Thank you sir.
Yes helpful, I have had pain for about month. I do feel some relief. Going to do this daily.
Best of luck!
Thank you I feel much better. I did all the stretches because I don’t know what causes my pain. Should I repeat these everyday?
Thank you so much Sir ❤
Most welcome!
Some relief finally ❤
thank you. I'm trying these for the first time today.
Good luck!
Wow! Those exercises are helping me so much. I really appreciate! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sharing with my family
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much, very effective and informative.
My pleasure!
I did all 5 and all are my favourite. Thank you for putting these up. I did reqlly help❤
You are welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed them.
My fiancé did the flossing and it helped greatly. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I am so excited to find your videos and to start trying them!! I wish you would put together exercises for truck drivers tho, I'd love to be able to take your program with me on the road.
Take you a nice heating pad. I have the K&H pet warmer, and it's a Godsend. I wrap it in a thick pillowcase.
Perfect timing! Going to incorporate starting tomorrow!
#3 has been game changer for me. Thanks
My pleasure! Glad it is helping!
Wow thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Love it! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Just found this channel by doing a search for help on lower back pain and will follow along.
I hope you find it helpful!
Same! I’ve done the morning and bedtime routines also. Highly recommend doing those as well.
Great stretches. Sharing with my clients ✨️
Awesome! Thank you!
Hoping these will assist me in getting to my first marathon after tweaking my back recently.
Best of luck!
I'm 6 weeks post laminectomy L4 L5 S1 and the legs numbness is getting worse. I did nerve gliding exercises for the past week but not really helped. Any other exercises you would recommend? Thank you for sharing
Oh my goodness! I have been suffering from this pain thinking that this is because of Arthritis. Good thing I got into this video. Somehow the stretching ease up the pain. Do I still need to see a rheumatologist though? 😅

Thank you so much, @blissfulessence8707! I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
I've been suffering from sciatica pain off and on ever since my 175 pound Saint Bernard wrenched me sideways when I had her on a leash two years ago. X-rays revealed arthritis in the spine. It has gotten so that the pain is unbearable if I'm standing a lot. I'll try these exercises and see if they help. Thank you.
I hope they help you out!
Thanks
You're very welcome, @muhdamsyar4800! I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.
Very nice streches!Thank you very much!
You're very welcome, @user-ow9jy8ss8u! I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.
I just had a total knee replacement. I started having problems with my sciatic nerve because of the pain in my knee before surgery. The knee is healing. But there are a lot of these exercises I can't do because of my knee. But as the knee is healing, the sciatic seems to be getting worse. Bad timing all around.
I like your videos!!
Hey! I wanted to ask you something about your patellar tendonitis video you uploaded about 4 months ago. I've been doing the stretches and isometrics for about 2 days now and it's helped me a lot. But I wanted to ask if it helps doing the stretches more than once a day?
Hi, @williamnorman194! Stretches can be done 2-3 times/day as long as they're kept in your pain tolerance. Strength exercises just once a day to allow adequate time for muscle recovery. I hope they continue to help you! Thanks for commenting.
It worked its a couple of hours later and i forgot about my back altogether ty
Hi I’d like to say I’m 21, and a week after my birthday my back started hurting, and all I was doing was sitting down. I don’t know if popping your back is a common reason to have sciatic pain, but the pain happened that day, that was in January. The pain was obviously there and after a few months I went to the hospital, and they gave me some medication and told me to do therapy for it, but I work in construction so I never did the (proper) therapy. About a month ago my pain was at an all time high, I couldn’t move and ven a little bit, it was almost impossible. The doctors said that I have a bone sticking out just barely, they game me more medication and told me to do physical therapy again. I’ve done a few of the moves that you’ve shown, but I was wondering will the theory ever END my pain permanently, or would I need surgery?
It's tingling
Oh God, the one with the bent knee crossed over the other leg feels sooooo good. I think it might have popped my disc back into place. Thank you!
One of my favorites, @Sashko_Dee! I'm glad to hear it worked and I hope they continue to help you! Thanks for commenting.
Nice kicks bro!
Glad you like them!
I just started doing these stretches. I already feel more mobile than I did. Thanks so much for these. I’m going to keep doing them until I am back to normal. Literally a god send on my back. 👏🏼
You're so welcome!
Timestamps or chapters make it easier for us to return to the stretch we need.
Hi. For those exercises, like the nerve glide, is it okay to do in on both sides? And do we just keep on doing it daily until relief is achieved?
Hello, thank you for these stretch tips. Last night, I had a small pop in my tailbone area. Within an hour I had little to no core strength. Today, I lay on my bedroom floor, trying to stretch for the first time. The stretches feel good. But I want to ask... As I'm trying my stretches to figure out what is causing the pain, I tried both your recommended stretches. As I lay on my stomach and attempted a child's pose, I am literally incapable of pushing myself up to my hands and knees. I am fully capable of doing upward dogs, though... or whatever the pose is called. Would being incapable of getting into child's pose from my stomach indicate that is the type of lower back problem causing my side leg pain?
Is there a certain time of day that these are best to do
I was diagnosed with lumbar spondylitis which comes with bad lower back ache and pain down my right leg. Which are these stretches should I be doing plsease
Ps, can you do a psoas stretch video?
Are all of these stretches okay for someone who has had both hips replaced?
Depends on how long it's been since the replacements, @cathywilliams6306! I definitely wouldn't do these in the first 8-12 weeks and after that clear them with your surgeon. Most hip replacement patients should be okay to do #3, cobra pose in #4, and #5; I would ask about #1, #2, and the child's pose in #4 (rotation and deep flexion are typically contraindicated motions). I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
What if you have bulged disc, degenerative disc, stenosis, and arthritis, what stretch, stretches might be best?
I can't do the cobra stretch at all due to the intense pain. What other exercises can i do?
Hi .. I have pinched nerve at side of knee .. X-ray shows osteoarthritis of knee .. is it likely bone spurs irritating the nerve? I like to do circuit training but worried I may cause nerve damage ?
Doing all above exercises from 3 days but suffering from pain in lower back.plz guide if i have to continue or not
get your calcium serum, vit d and b12 checked...i too had this issue but after getting vitamins deficiency treated my pain went away, and consult doctors only for treatment (khud se ilaaj mat karna apna kyunki sahi dose wo hi dega)
Hi,i dont have this kind of table and i can not use floor because i had few surgeries recently.
Is it ok to do on bed.
Thanks
Wow! Just tried all of these and none help me at all. If anything it hurts even more now. Not sure if i should continue or if this is supposed to work after a few days or if it works right away...not sure. I'm beyond frustrated and I don't know what to do here. It's been a couple of weeks....I can't sleep during the entire night and fight most of the day to get some hours in at the very least. At times forcing myself with medication and even that is difficult.
Holy shit this helped so much I have a fight coming up and needed this fixed u da man !!!!
Love to hear that!
Sir can u plz ...add tutorial for a fat person how to start wieght loss training with light exercise and when to join gym??
❤20 years ago I started by simply walking down to the corner and back. That's it because I wanted to focus on showing up daily without excuse. 😊 Also, I started to cut my meals in half. I still ate what I normally did but I started to add veggies to fill the other half. If that makes sense. I cut back on soda I take and dessert only once per day rather than after each meal. 😅 after two to three weeks I cut off sodas and started drinking homemade lemonade and iced tea. Yes, they still had sugar but I used raw sugar. I slowly began to cut back on sugar in my drink and cut back in pasta and bread. One change at a time until you build strength in making changes. I allowed myself 2-3 weeks to get used to a new change before making a new one. If I felt ready sooner then I would make a new change. ❤listen to your body because you'll know what YOUR body is ready for. You're capable of doing far better than you give yourself credit for. Same thing with walking, when I felt up to it, I'd go a little further OR a little faster. Keeping it real and not trying to push to hard to the point of injury. As you gain confidence in your commitment and dedication start doing wall push ups and simply sitting down and standing up fro. Your dining chair but ALWAYS practicing proper form to avoid injury. That's how I got started and shed 109lbs in two years. My first year I dont count it because it was full of trial and error. I was listening to the trainers on television and in magazines and their methods were not for me.😊 I moved along to hiding a trainer eventually after a 65lbs loss due to a car accident that left me unable to walk. I cried doing one push up or dit up or squat then proceeded to a boot camp then crossfit for 12 years until I got chronically ill in 2020, and still am, with Long Covid. ❤ YOU CAN DO THIS. When ANY excuse comes, JUST DO IT.
🎉 Dont overthink it or you'll give yourself great reasons why you shouldn't. At the end of the day, they just excuses!😂 oh yeah! If you "fail" to eat according to your nee method or to exercise. DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP. Rather plan your next walk and meal and let it go!!!😊 Youre not looking for perfection but for progress. Just keep going no matter what comes your way! Life will happen but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, HOW BADLY DO I WANT TO VE HEALTHY? ❤ best if luck!!! You got this!😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I heard someone once say, the next 12 months are going to pass us by. Where could you have been had you started on that dream? Dont live with regret! ❤May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you immensely on journey to great health!!! JUST DO IT.😊
Just go gluten free
And start wit walking
I find the position at the 5:29 mark the most painful. All other stretches definitely feel like I'm stretching something tight but none of them recreated the pain I'm experiencing. Anything else I can add to that specific area or will everything prior help with that
Why upon laying down on the floor and bending my knees up do I get Charlie horses behind and just above the knee?
loved all the exercises for sciatica pain. thankyou so much.
You're so welcome!
It hurts like hell, but I'm trying 😢
Help
When your sciatica goes away, are these still good exercises to start your day and prevent it coming back?
Can you show stretches in a seated position please
Great suggestion, @michellehoffa5914! #2 you can do seated, and #3 you can do seated as shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/iiAhpH8-k3Y/w-d-xo.html. I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
Well let's try. Exercise number 2 really hurts on the right side.
?What about training in the water
My leg burns and horrible sharp pain down the front of my thigh not the back but in my back buttox and side hip and around yo the front of my thigh..
I cant do it its so painful 😭😭😭😭
This oil is pure magic! Orthovita Oil has become a part of my daily wellness routine. Planet Ayurveda's It’s comforting to know I can rely on something natural for pain relief
what's funny about the decompression position.. if u look at humans as kids we often put ourselves in that type of position where we let our legs or our upper torso dangle.
Lost art.
Great point, @Niam_Human! One of my favorite sayings - "We don't stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing." I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
