If you're suffering from sciatica, a pain that originates in your low back or hip and radiates down the back of your thigh, you know how debilitating it can be. But here's the truth: there is no universal treatment that works for everyone, as the causes and manifestations of sciatica can vary greatly.
In this informative video, you'll uncover the underlying cause of your sciatica and take the first steps towards finding relief.
Dr. Horschig will guide you through a comprehensive approach to understand the unique factors contributing to your sciatica. By identifying the root cause, you'll be equipped with valuable insights to develop a personalized plan for fixing it.

Great video doc. But where can I get the shirt
@@JoseRodriguez-pq5sz Not sure if that one is available anymore, it was a hookup from an older company that doesn't make it anymore.
Also is it a symptom that my left leg doesn’t open fully when I lay down and lift it up. Also when i sit and lay my leg up my legs are not fully open.
Where did you get that bench
Nono clue by
This video is gold. I've told so many people about nerve flossing, because it dramatically improved my quality of life. I injured myself weight lifting and dealt with back pain for nearly 2 years! I had to self diagnose myself with sciatica because, as an overweight individual, the doctors I saw kept telling me my back pain was due to my weight, which was humiliating, demoralizing, and worst of all completely unhelpful. Their advice was to take anti-inflammatories and increase my core strength, etc. My pain was to the point that I would involuntarily yelp out just sitting down, and basic things like tying my shoes and shaving my legs were impossible so exercising was a sick joke. Eventually I gave up seeking help, and I couldn't work out which was filling me with even more guilt because I thought I deserved to be in pain because I couldn't get the weight off. Luckily things came across my attention that taught me about sciatic pain, but everything always said there's no cure without surgery, only stretches that may relieve pain for less severe injuries. Some stretches felt nice, others were unbearable, but nothing, nothing brought me above 50%
NERVE FLOSSING CHANGED EVERYTHING. In less than a week I got my full range of motion back, and now a year later I've only had 1 flare up after poorly lifting a very heavy box above my head and over twisting (much like my original injury). I dug this video back up and did the flossing and got back to feeling human, again in less than a week. I will treasure this technique forever because it gave me my dignity back, and taught me the WHY and HOW which is invaluable. So, so grateful! I hope that others will find this same relief when nothing else has worked for them!
I can't believe how many docs are useless. Mine just throws medication at me. Never discusses exercise, diet, etc.
How many reps and how often did you do the flossing? Im thinking this may be what I need. I have consistent pain my glute and often pain around my knee and burning kind of sensation in my calf.
Thank you for sharing, gives me hope! My main doctor was no help either, only recommended pain medication and injections.
Apart from the fact that I second what you say about docs and that o got to do the same path you followed, which is self diagnosing and exercising myself out of pain because docs would go with meds and blamed absolutely wrong things, I want to say this : sharing your experience and giving your feedback about this is as golden as this video itself. You don't even realize how precious is to track down comment of people who treated themselves and found out how to fix their problems and share their experience with others. Thank god for you today
@@antonioj.castaneda7377 please please PLEASE share your experience too here in this comment once you tried yourself what he describes. Don't forget to do it it's the most precious thing for poor people who come here
I wanted to thank you SO MUCH! I did the nerve flossing yesterday for 20 reps and my pain was gone in 30 minutes. No joke! I'd been suffering from sciatica for maybe 2 weeks and it was gone in 30 minutes. I can't believe how fast it worked! Thanks so much!!!
Whats flossing?
@@gerrygizzygarcia2572 it's in the video.
@@Estefmg ok thanks just saw it earlier thank u
I went 2 days only thankfully, still in a bit of pain, but that excact excercise helped me so fucking much
bullshit bro. shit doesnt resolve itself that fast.
A year of blood tests, urine tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs, and then I watch this video and find a way to relieve my pain for the first time. This is incredible. I'm saving up now to go to the US to see you in-person and fix several other problems, that I've spent years figuring out and haven't been able to fix.
Hey how r u now
Any relieve !?
Damn 🔥
Having sciatica is just the worst
Now how ur pain ? After 2 years
I just got mine like 2 weeks ago, I'm trying to get rid of this pain quick. I've already went to the chiropractor, (it helped) now I'm doing these stretches and exercises
Thank you. I have such a high pain tolerance and I am truly suffering and thought I was getting weak or something
@@StickMan1316 hows it going?
I had it for a while, still do a little bit but what helped was strengthening my core and glutes, and generally have been doing yoga
I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to thank you for clearly stating how many reps to do and how long to do them for in a manner you can clearly understand. I've watch many of these videos because I in pain as we speak, and you're the first that takes time to tell the listener sets and hold time.
I’m 37 with sciatica for about 15 yrs without treating it. Now it’s gotten worse this video is helpful. Thank you
I was in a lot of pain for the past three weeks. These exercises are amazing. Thanks a lot for this video🙏
Thank you for this video. I’m a massage therapist and I work on a LOT of clients that struggle with this issue. I myself am currently going through a flare up (do to over working out) so it’s nice to see that I’m applying the correct principles and learning new principles to help myself and my clients with this issue. Thank you again.
its amazing not just the content of the video, but the fact that this video is just one take blows my mind
You are a very good man, you listen to people's problems and address their issues. Thank you
Thank you doc, I think you are saving my life with these videos! Found lots of stuff that helped me through my weightlifting passion. I think with help from you I'll be able to do weightlifting for a longer period of time.
Forever grateful.
This is the most detailed video I've seen for this kind of injury
This is timely as I am dealing with sciatica right now. Thank you.
Glad to help!
Man my dream is to be in a role like yours. Thank you for the content. Best PT channel out there.
You're so welcome! 🙏🏼
I raised my eyebrows when you said "I'm gonna have Ed perform a stool test"
haha
same here...
😂🤣😂🤣
Grow up
@@SquatUniversity Need your help. My nerve pain has been back of hamstrings inner thigh down to my foot not the usual outer sciatica pain. Can that still be piniformis? Or would that be herniated disk. Really could use your advice
Thank you Aaron. I'm 22 and just realized I have some sort of sciatica. You helped me realize where my pain is coming from (paraformis) and that I was hurting myself by stretching wrong! You gave me the first little bit of hope that I'll be able to kitesurf and snowboard again
Nah its from your back
Hey how r u now
Did you recover
I've been dealing with low back and hip stiffness and pyriformis for over a year definitely need more of these pain relief videos
I've got a bunch more coming soon!
@@SquatUniversity awesome thank you. I've been using chiropractor and massages but anything I can do from home will be a huge help. Looking forward to them.
Bring these videos Sir.
Need more of it.
Thank you so much for all these videos.
@@SquatUniversity
you are a life saver bro...keep posting please
I broke down and got the surgery a few years ago. I couldn’t take it anymore. I was in and out. Walked out the hospital with zero pain. God is good. Haven’t had back pain since. I did every exercise in the book. Don’t be afraid to research surgery:)
I love your content, you not only go into how to fix it, but how to determine what's causing it. You video was the only one that went to into causes other than lower back.
Finally someone who knows what he is talking about! Thank you so much!!!! Great explanation! Immediately relieved even with my fibromyalgia
13 life-changing minutes!!! Thank you SO MUCH! I have been in pain, hobbling around, for three weeks. So debilitating. Love the way you explain things as well. I’m of for a gentle run - first one in months!
Hey how r u now did you recover fully from sciatica or periformis
Hey dude,how u doin?
@@blackteeth5236I'm wondering the same.
Thank you so much for this! I am able to pay attention and recognize the cause of my pain, by learning with your videos and having a holistic perspective. What makes me sad is the number of times that I go to physiotherapy and trust certain professionals that make a massage, tell me to do core stability exercises, and send me away... We need more dedicated professionals like you!!! Thank you again
Ppl llj LL
Thank you. You elevated lives of many by sharing this!
it works my sciatica pain is gone , bless you man
Currently dealing with sciatica. I absolutely appreciate this! Thank you!
You're welcome!
How r u now
How do u sleep
Do you need to avoid sitting
By far it's the most detailed video I've ever seen. There are many causes in sciatica and those clickbait titles videos always claim that their stretches will fit any kind of sciatica but not working on my case sometimes, so I was really impressed by your video when you mentioned piriformis syndrome can be long or short and they will need different treatment, appreciate that
Wow, that's really informative. Thank you.
You guys are just a blessing to this planet
This is so useful. Thanks a lot for sharing. Helped relieve my piriformis pain.
Been having problems for a long time with my sciatica and my RLS squat U has helped me out so much in all aspects of my life I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you so much for the exercises!
And for also showing the way to find out what is the reason for the pain ♥️
I could easily perform the leg rotation angle test alone with a resistance band or some cloth and it really helped to determine the reason for the pain.
thanks again!
bro.... this video is a beautiful gift!!... thank you very much
I want to thank you for an exceptional training video! I tend to read through the comments first before watching videos. The comments were praising this video so much that I was intrigued to actually take notes while watching it. You explained every part so well. I will be involving my wife and the two of us will attempt to let this be part of our daily routines.
I give you 2 thumbs up, thank you again.
This is unbelievable 😳 my sciatica is gone ❤️ thanks a lot sir 🤗
Hey how are you
Did u recover fully or you just improve and manage pain !?
When I had sciatica, this exercise literally saved me. I used to get pain radiating down my leg when i was just sitting at a desk or driving. This exercise stopped 90% of the pain.
The flossing ?
@@meyoumovie ye
Glad to hear!
If this works I’m sending this to my older brother.
He has sciatica and he described his pain as pain that radiates down his leg.
I thought it was permanent.
@@OmnipotentSaiyan nah just nerve impingement issues. Of course going to a physical therapist is the best course of action
Is there a specific volume , Intensity and frequency to these exercises or should I focus on listening to my body ? I did nerve flossing and It alleviated my pain by a significant amount . This channel is gold and your explanations are bright and clear.
NERVE FLOSSING!!! this is the key and gem... faced the pain since years and now getting better. Really thankful that you share this.
Was your sciatic pain from a bulged disc though?
Oh you have helped me so much to determine where the pain comes from. I am doing your exercises now, and hope for relief. Thank you so much again
Thank you for the fantastic explanation of different symptoms of sciatic pain. Much appreciated. I certainly have long piriformis sciatica.
Thank you so much for your video! I've been dealing with sciatica for a month and I've heard so many mixed messages. Thank you for the chair and piriformis tests and the exercises, very helpful!
Definitley deserves a sub for this. Thank you!
Really good content ! First person to isolate different areas and different stretches...!!
Thank you, excellent explanation and descriptions.
Your videos are SO HELPFUL!!!
That clam shell move hit the spot man. These videos are life saver.
You don't know how grateful I am for the knowledge you share on your channel.
My doctor asked me to have a scan last week for the excruciating pain I was having in my lower back & right buttocks. Result: nothing to report on the scan and I was told to "rest and continue the painkillers".
Yesterday I came across this video as the pain was slowly spreading down the back of my right leg. That's when I assumed it was the sciatic nerve.
The exercises I did reduced my pain by 70%. This morning I again did the exercises that suited my situation. I still have a little discomfort but I know how to tackle my problem.
Thank you very much, God bless you!
Hey! How's the pain now? And if fortunately cured then how many days it took to cure?
That nerve flossing is legit and weird first time doing it. Never considered tilting my head back to release the tension. Awesome video
By far the best and most accurate physio diagnosis I have seen.
Can both short and long piriformis syndrome exercises be done together ?
He said you need to figure out what is the case because if you strech for long piriform or "stregthening the short" you will be make it worse.
Love how informative and educational this video is
i learned why i heve been miserably hurting while training for a full marathon
cant run because of the pain, after watching this i believe i have this siatica thing,, gonna spend the whole week strtching and doing these therapy
Am i still gonna run my full marathon at the end of march ?

You're a legend!!!!! thank you!!!!! will incorporate this therapy, pyriformis been on and off, and its challenging!
Thank you for these valuable tips!
Thank you for all this information, blessings…
Thank you and thanks to the algorithm, this pain has bothered me for so long and I have finally found a solution
Microdiscectomy is the only thing that fixed mine. I tried everything else known to man. I feel for everyone going through it it's probably the worst pain I've ever had. Thanks to the surgery my life is back to normal and it has been over 2 years
Man I had surgery in june and have been recovering since with not as bad pain from before the op but had a MRI done and its re bulged somehow now i dont know what to do
Bro donyou lift weights? Or do some sport ? How is going your life after the surgery
This is a very clear explanation n methods, thanks
Wow I’ve never seen that nerve flossing technique! This channel is gold

Thank you Squat University, I was about to book in and pay some physio $150 to tell me the same things but over 4 more sessions.
Much appreciated.
This was actually great mate thank you 🙏
This is very very helpful!! Thanks a lot!!
He is so helpful & brilliant
I have been struggling for YEARS because I have been treating myself for short Piriformis syndrome. Its long Piriformis. THANK YOU
Been having sciatic pain for about 6 weeks now from intense training... it would come and go but always be there preventing me from going 100%. After performing some exercises.. the pain is already relieving.. Thank you Dr Eric!
Hi Joe, it sounds like i have the same from Lifting at the gym. How has this been helping?? Have you tried acupuncture?

Excellent educational video about sciatica, really enjoyed it❤. Thanks.
Excellent explanation of lower back pain…!
Awesome man i have The Back related one but can still squat but cant hip hinge at all!
Awesome video. Thank you❤💪👍
Thank you for this video
Thank You Sir! 💪
thank you very much, because of your video I'm able to get rid my sciatica, now i'm able to identify that its long piriformis syndrome.
Very practical and useful though I,d need a second party to raise awareness of the origin of the problem. I have little physical awareness. I have subscribed!
Thank you for a very informative video.
Another phenomenal video. Thanks Aaron.
Thank you
Would these techniques be useful for an elderly person or would different intervention be needed
I wish I lived local to Squat University to get some treatment for my hip/ham/adductor compound combo that refuses to settle down... however, until I can afford to relocate down the street, these videos are PURE GOLD 💰
Thank you very much first two exercise i know but last exercise works well for me releasing some pressure from Sciatica nerve....
Great advices. Big up for you guys
Hi Doc.,
You did great.
Démonstration Excellente Merci
had to do a dig job today and my back pain was crazy afterwards. Had the same low back pain for a month and some change. Did the stool test, isolated the trigger, did the stretch back pain took a small decrease. It is going to be a process but I feel I'm on the right track. Thank you
Thank you so much so grateful!
very informative. Thanks bro.
Thank you so much because I have both lower back and down my legs. It's been hell, but I'm hoping your exercises help me.
I got the short piriformis apparently. Thanks helped a lot!
Very informative.
Thank you, it helped a lot.
Thanks for all the great videos
You're so welcome!
THE MOST IMPORTANT lesson on UNDERSTANDING - DIAGNOSING - & ALLEVIATING. Sciatica pain.
I was on Pregabalin x3 @150mg /day until I accidentally discovered this video. I had seen a GP, Physio T. and an Acupuncturist who NEVER attempted the SYSTEMATIC processes BEFORE a attempting cure.. Thanks a million, I would have been pain free much sooner. David
Das beste Video nach lange Suche . Vielen Dank 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent explanation
