What is sciatica? Learn the anatomy of the sciatic nerve, and common nerve flossing exercises for sciatic nerve pain relief. The nerve gliding exercises performed in this video are taken from common physical therapy exercises for sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and lumbar radiculopathies. These physical therapy nerve glides for sciatica are modified to be accessible during common yoga poses, and suggestions are made on how to modify a yoga practice to irritate the sciatic nerve less, and aid in nerve mobility. In this way it is possible to practice yoga for sciatica and sciatic pain relief. Motion is lotion! Yoga for sciatica...
.
.
Common yoga poses like paschimottanasana, downward facing dog, and uttanasana can all be modified to either be nerve tensioners, which could lead to or increase sciatic nerve pain, or they can be altered to become sciatic nerve flossing exercises to aid in nerve mobility for sciatic pain relief.

never saw such perfect and precise explanation of Sciatica and its relation to yoga poses. thanks buddy!
Hey thanks!
You are the best!
Why thank you!
I do yoga including downwards dog every day and I was wondering why I had so much sciatica pain. :') thank you
You're so welcome!
Till how many days you did downward dogs pose??
years 😭@@Preeti-lw9jc
This need more views and attention!! This page is so underrated
Thanks! 🙌
Outstanding demonstration. I really like the pink band visualization for a better understanding. I suffered from sciatic discomfort due to compression from sitting in an office chair for 20 plus years.
I’m really glad this helped! Are you feeling better these days or still dealing with sciatica?
Wonderful presentation , thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Hint Movement of leg ,hand and neck, nice, even though don' t know the language,if any.
This is a fantastic way of explanation with very clear visual demo…
I hv this pain on one side of the glut area, not sure if this is what they called yoga butt too? It seems that d more I do stretches ( such as those that you mentioned whc are commonly done during yoga), the pain don’t go away but seems to gotten worst.
And It seems that the more stretches I do, my both knees got more tingling pain too… sincerely kindly give me some pointer n direction… thank you.
Stretching is not the best answer. Strength is MUCH more valuable. Watch the masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Fantastic demonstration, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
GREAT VIDEO BRO!!!
Thanks a lot!
me being an amateur in this stuff, I wonder, why tensing the nerves is bad?And what should we be doing about our nerves to keep them healthy?Or maybe it's not bad if it's done lightly at first (like stretching, you don't wanna overdo it at first), but as you progress and become more flexible then maybe nerve tensing through yoga poses is not so bad?
Nerves stretch any time you stretch. However, certain positions are more likely to specifically target the nerves rather than the muscles. Nerves that are already sensitive can be easily irritated with nerve stretching. A normal healthy person can do light nerve stretching just fine. Basically, just don't force it.
Incredible! Doing that pose & feeling such a better stretch in my hamstrings, glutes, & quads!!!
Wonderful!
Hope all is well. I have a question about this static problem I’ve been having. How is it possible to stretch if I’m in so much pain? Having static nerve pain is one of them things the will make you feel hopeless at times because of the level of pain.

Is nerve flossing safe/beneficial to do even if one does not have an injury and/or prescription to officially justify the practice?
I recently watched a video by Livinleggings titled "Ignoring this will wreck your flexibility" where the use of gentle sciatic nerve flossing was recommended as a flexibility development tool.
I was formulating plans to start opening my daily stretching sessions with that and possibly implementing median nerve flosses into my drawing routines even though I do not have a carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis. Would I be wasting my time and/or doing harm with such habits?
It’s absolutely fine to do, but not doing it will not “wreck” your flexibility. Beyond that, flexibility doesn’t positively benefit our health, compared with alternatives like cardio and strength training, so if you’re worried about wasting your time… stretching is a waste of time in general for general health. Again, cardio and strength are much more important.
When do people need flossing nerve? Is it good to floss nerve regularly? thanks
Whenever i do a plank workout and extend my left leg (raise it) i feel an umcomfortable pain running down my *right* leg, and now im not sure if this is some tendon issue or a nerve issue. When i do the opposite i dont feel the same pain on the other leg
I have a computer chair that's not very comfortable I find my self slouching or even leaning on to my left side . One day I was sitting then got up to put my shoes on and tie them . Bent over while standing like I always do. But this time when I straighten out after tying my shoes . I could barely stand up straight the whole day i literally was walking like a elderly person. Not anymore it's gotten alot better but now I'm having pain in calf right behind my left knee . Do you recommend this video for me or do you have a video I can use for relief. Thanks
This exercise sometimes irritates people's nerves. Honestly the best thing to do is understand big picture: what actually works and what doesn't. This masterclass teaches you everything: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
@@ShapeshiftWellness i took today medicine called backaid supposedly it's for sciatica.
If I feel shocks and tingles is that mean it's getting better?
So what you saying Joga is rung in what they do??
Can sciatica be completely cured via these yogas
Annular disk tear and disk pulge on left leg and also impingement on nerve root in L5-s1...it is so pain unable to sit and stand.. please give me the permenent solution for that..
Watch the masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Excellent video ❤
Thank you!
Can sciatic nerve be so short on e person that that person never can be able to bend forward and "touch the floor" with the hands? I can stretch the muscles, but all my life have I gotten pain in that nerve if trying to touch floor or grabbing the feet in those positions you show. Just on one side at a time. This feels strange, may flossing really help, since I have had this problem since childhood, never being able to "touch floor" even though I went to youth gymnastics.
Definitely some people are just more flexible than others. Don't force it.
Wow. I wish I'd discovered this over a year ago. I was wondering why my low back and butt pain gets worse and radiates to my knees whenever I stretch my legs like that often. So I've been pissing it off.
Glad you discovered now, even if it’s a bit late! I specialize in helping people heal from low back pain and sciatica, and you would get a lot out of this masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Awesome way of explaining it😅
Thanks!
Um.... no... do not do.
Please dont talk so muchhhh .... do the exercises and repeat it little more - because I am too old to remember it when I sit on the flloor ....

I've been dealing with lower back pain and sciatica for many years until... this morning. Yesterday I found this presentation. It all made perfect sense to me - and I realized I was an accomplice in my own misery. Last night I tried nerve flossing as you instructed. This morning I woke up with the same pain - miserable. I cleaned up the kitchen - still messy from yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner. I bent over to load the dishwasher and, upon standing up straight, the pain was gone! All day now - no pain. I am so happy to be free! I can walk without having to stop and bend over every 5 minutes! Thank you thank you thank you! I can't thank you enough!
Wow that's amazing! I hope this lasts! Just in case though - make sure not to get too excited and go do too much activity too fast. This video walks you through the common mistake of doing too much too fast after doing too little for too long: ruclips.net/video/AD7xpEApwVI/видео.html
Oh my god I am so jealous of this. But about to start trying the suggested flossing.
I’ve been looking for sensible and educated versions on which asanas can help relieve sciatic tension. Thank you so much for this explanation… I’ve been doing yoga 🧘♂️ for several years now and have injured my sciatica via an injured periformis. So now I’m struggling after months of sciatic sensitivity to figure out a yoga routine to help me back to healthy yoga practices
I hope this helps! Generally it is useful to combine this kind of nerve gliding with some strength exercises as well. Good luck!
@@ShapeshiftWellness I would like to have a more personalized program and yoga practices for my condition Do you have any suggestions ?
I am opened to paid services

Hi Jacqueline - look up Olga Kabel here on You Tube. She's one of the best yoga therapist, lots of really great videos. The info. given here is correct in my experience of yoga where most "instructors" seem to emphasize flexibility rather than balancing strength and flexibility. I'm 71 and have been doing yoga most of my life but recently I've had a long flare up of piriformus pain and began to attribute it to exactly what I'm finding both in my practice and wise information. such as this. Cheers
I've had a disc herniation for the last 12 years and a discectomy at 21. Re-herniated four years ago, I've never understood why chiros and P.T's ask me to floss when I was certain I still had disk involvement (it would 'Go' again upon heavy lifting and even running). However this is the best explanation of flossing I've ever heard!!!! Thanks
Glad this helped! Just trying to keep things mobile, functional, and desensitized!
How are you now??
@@Preeti-lw9jc the sciatica took a long time to go but I have arthritis now so I've almost got a full bingo card 🤣🤣
Great energy and very easy and memorable explanations. You'd make an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! As it happens I am a teacher 🙌

Thank you so much for the information!
Glad it was helpful!
On of the most sensible explanations I have seen on many RUclips videos I have watched. Thanks. I have one question about Sciatica problem. Most of the videos mention Sciatica pain. I have Sciatica problem but not the pain. Instead I have numbness in my feet (mainly left foot). Is there any difference in treatment ? Why do some people have pain while others - like me - have numbness. Surely there must some difference along the path of the Sciatica nerve. Anxiously waiting for a reply. Thanks once again.
So sorry for the late reply! Nerves are weird! Some feel pain, others feel numbness, others feel electrical or burning sensations. Long story short you need a solid rehab program to heal. Feel free to watch the masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
You're so cool! I love your videos! THX
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

I'm watching this with diagnosed disc bulges l4 l5 S1 nerve compression and cannot even sit on the floor at with legs straight at 90 degrees let alone bend forward pivoting ankle and neck...
Just follow the tense muscle with soft pinch, until your meet the area that pain hold that area with soft pinch and shake for 5-7 second and the tense muscle will soften 😅😅😅
Motion is lotion should be your channel name lol. thx man
Not bad 🤔
One of height increase app made bad feeling especially in the sciatica and my age 21 now😢What should I do?
Really useful info Anthony - thanks
Of course! Happy to help
Nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many many thanks
❤ hello sir i am from India love u sir my problem sem L4 L5 left leg nerve pain thanks for Tp
Thank you for an excellent explanation of nerve flossing, I’ve suffered from sciatica for years and last week it absolutely flattened me. I have been referred to a physiotherapist and as soon as the pain allows I will do a little floss, because I already know that the piriformis stretches don’t help.
Glad this helped! I'm sorry it has been so painful for you in the past. You should watch the masterclass on low back pain and sciatica, I think it will help! www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
@@ShapeshiftWellnessI also like your Videos and it really helped. Thank you very much for youre effort. I join know you're website ❤
Sholder pain backneckpain what willdo
What kind of doctor am I going to seek??
My spine will swell up on my left side.
Excellent video! The visual representations were the best I’ve come across and I’ve watched dozens of these videos
Wow, thanks!
My pain in left leg.
Yes I have a burning down my leg. My hile of my foot will burn .My toes will burn to..If I pick up a basket of clothes say 3 times my spine muscles will swell up and my lower back will swell up then it will start hurting bad..I have a bulge dis in my neck and back. I have arthritis in my lower right side of my back .Thanks for sharing this video.
I'm so sorry the pain is so intense! Definitely don't do this specific exercise if it causes severe burning down the leg! Instead, be sure to watch the masterclass on chronic low back pain and sciatica:

@ Shapeshift Wellness ❓❔❔🎶🎵WHAT MUSIC IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND
I made it.
but as nerves cannot be stretched, how exactly is this of benefit , bar maybe a fairly minor inch or two gained from the loosened nerve? Are some people just permanently constricted by the length of their nerves? Tbh this is what makes most sense to me. Can anyone explain why this is otherwise? Even if the nerve comes to glide effortlessly in its sheath due to flossing, its length remains a permanent limitation on forward folding
It's not about lengthening the nerve, it's about allowing mobility of the nerve back and forth from the surrounding tissues.
Stupid idea😂
Watched 100's of videos of this issue, do this do that, all the great comments, I've never found a single video that has helped with anything... I dont understand it
If you want to simplify the process of sciatica rehab, watch this masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
i need help u
This is the best explanation on sciatic nerve I've ever seen.
Thanks! 🙌
Could the sciatic nerve also get p'd off by poses like triangle pose (Trikonasana) and Intense Leg Stretch Pose (Prasarita Padottanasana)? And what alternatives would you suggest instead of doing forward fold (fingers around the big toe) and downward facing dog 4:04?
Search my channel for those pose names and I’ve made videos on these!
@@ShapeshiftWellness oooo ok will do!
THANK YOU!!! Ive been dealing with a pinched nerve for 9 months. And now im 2 months post partum and it still kills me. And no one fucking cares. Every single doctor is like sucks to suck kid it just happens to some women during pregnancy. But ive been in constant pain for almost a year now and would rather just cut my fucking leg off. Or have someone take a sledge hammer to my tail bone than keep living with this pain.
Hey! I'm really sorry you've been through the wringer of a crappy medical system that doesn't care. I hope this video helped! That said, if you really want a complete solution to sciatica, watch the full masterclass! I'm positive this will help you! (No sledge hammers 😉) www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass

Happy to help!
Glad I found your page and this video! I thought I was just sore because I never workout and am not too flexible, but I was doing yoga and some of the things they did in the video I recreated and now realized that I was being instructed wrong. Thank you for clearing this up for me, I hope my back pain goes away soon. This was a great video.
MOTION IS LOTION!
^greatest thing I've ever heard^
Love this. Thanks bunches for sharing!

Great demonstration and explanation. Mahalo!
Das kann erklären, warum meine gesamte rechte Seite schmerzt. Ich hab immer den Nerv überreizt😮
And please, please speak slower…
And there are to the fascia’s ??
is bad extend the sciatic nerve?
Really interesting... thanks, I'll look into it :)
Please do!
Hi, great explanation. I feel pain at the back (an inch towards right of the spine), somewhere near hip bone and on the right side of the right thigh (3-4 inches) from the hip bone. MRI showed grade 1 spondylolisthesis. Can these stretch or any others may help? please suggest as I am in a lot of pain. Thanks
I'm so sorry you're in pain! Watch the masterclass on low back pain. Spondy's are super common and grade 1 is mild. This class should help you! www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Will this eventually stop the sensitivity ?? My upper back / neck is so “tight” in the nerves that just bending my neck forward & starting to fold my upper back in, (sitting or standing), get tingles in my fingertips, my hearing muffles & I feel light headed
It shouldn't be causing those symptoms, so definitely ease off and see a doctor to evaluate for nerve and inner ear issues. Best of luck!
Okay to do it if i had spinal surgery 7/4/22? Still get sciatica nerve pain/tingling in my left leg. Suffered severe nerve damage b4 surgery
If it makes pain worse, don’t do it.
Thank you! 🙏
I have had sciatica for 6 years now and neither piriformus or discs are the cause. Can these exercises help if it has to do with scar tissue? Or can it come from knee or feet? Mine starts at the butt and travels all the way down to foot. 😕
I'm sorry to hear that! It sounds like you'll need some more individualized answers. I can help! Book a free discovery call with me: p.bttr.to/428Sbwf

Excellent demonstration & explanation of the root cause of sciatica. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Just to be clear, this is just one of many possible contributing factors to sciatica. A comprehensive solution really is the only solution, which is why I made a masterclass teaching a holistic perspective on sciatica and low back pain: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Excellent video!!
Thank you very much!
Very effective explaination with teaching aids
Thanks a bunch, happy it helped!
This video was quite helpful. I have been suffering from sciatica past 4 years now. I got MRI done, but the report was normal. As per the report I didn't have slipped disc or L3 or L4 and nor any nerve compression. But I have experienced massive pain. It did gt better in 4-5 months. Still the problem persists. The pain travels all the way to my right foot and I have a trouble doing forward bends. When I do gym the next day in morning my back is completely stiff and I feel pain.
I would really like to know more about how to treat sciatica and what all exercise can be done and shouldn't be done. That'll be great help.
If you haven't already, definitely watch the masterclass: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
I know how you feel. I have a bulge dis in my neck and lower back. My spine will swell up from my neck to my tail bone
.I have server arthritis on my right side. I had to go 😮to the ER, and I could not sit down or stand up .I have to put ice on my back íIm praying for you

@@ShapeshiftWellness Where can I DM you?
I had posted my problem on one of your videos yesterday not sure if you got a chance to see that.
@@ab5848 What's the question? If you have low back pain or sciatica the best thing to do is watch the masterclass, then if appropriate apply for a call. www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
I dont have any problems while doing the stretch poses that puts tension on the nerve,like you showed in the video to see if the patient had any irritation 3:17. However, usually i have numbness and pain throughout the pathway of the nerve in anytime of the day. Like sometimes it happens when i just wake up,i cant lift&move my leg and move my feet cuz it hurts and tingles. Or this happens while im sitting. I kinda get paralyzed for a minute,then it goes away and I'm back to normal again. I think this started to happen every now and then ,maybe a year ago? I dont remember if i had this issue two years ago but if i did,it was less frequent. This year,it got more frequent and i dont know if thats because of my workout routine or stretch routine,or sth more serious god forbid
Have you been to a doctor for this? If so, watch the masterclass (link in the description). If not, see a doctor first.
See a doc, those are some scary symptoms you're mentioning, paralysed?! Hell naw
On the road to 100k subs
Slow and steady!

So how do you modify downward dog
Bend the knees, look straight at the floor.
@@ShapeshiftWellness Thank you. I m so afraid of doing my favorite yoga class now. Please direct me to anything that can help with my sciatica

This exercise isn’t for everyone! Chronic pain is debilitating. That’s why I created a masterclass for low back pain and sciatica here: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Such a Wonderful video to help with visualization. Everybody can learn a ton from this video.
I have a question ❓about neck pain after Thyroid Surgery. Could the neck pain be related to the Sciatic Nerve?
I was doing yoga when I was in my 20-s, but slowly and indeed, I stopped practicing yoga due to a fibromyalgia diagnosis after the second total thyroid removal surgery in 2002. I wonder why, after my first thyroid surgery in 1989, the back of my neck started hurting when I turned my head. Back then, there was no physical therapy after surgery in Bulgaria, which is a shame, or maybe it was not as popular as it is now.
I was prescribed "Iontophoresis" as a treatment modality in Bulgaria, and it never occurred to me to discuss this pain with a yoga teacher. That would probably be much more beneficial.
Years later, when I was living in the US, I discovered that my neck does not curve like the letter "C," and that's the reason for my neck pain. But I still don't entirely agree with this diagnosis.
Could you please make a video on what can be causing pain in the neck and who is most likely to suffer from it? How many possible reasons are there for neck pain?
Especially because now, when I am in my 50-s, I wake up with pain in the base of my skull almost daily, and I dread going to bed because of that. This kind of pain in the neck radiates to the top of my head. I am tired of taking NSAIDs and CBD for that kind of pain/headaches all over my 💀Also, I wonder if it has anything to do with the extensive dental work performed in 2022 when I had to crown my teeth on top and bottom; not that I didn't have those headaches before. I have always had headaches, but not 2-3 days a week or more.
Where does the Sciatic Nerve go from the neck up? Inside of your brain? Is it connected with the Trigeminal Nerve or the Vagus Nerve?
I don't think it is normal to have neck pain when you are in your 20-s or even 40-s. So what is your take on that?
Thank You!
I'm sorry you've been dealing with this! There are TONS of different causes of neck pain and it should be evaluated by a doctor in your area. I also offer online consultation for this kind of thing at www.shapeshiftwellness.com
