Simple Stretches For Sciatic Pain For Seniors | Dealing With Sciatica | More Life Health

My parents are nearly 80 years old and cannot cross their legs like this!

Hello Mike, my mother is 71 and facing sciatic pain. The pain is in the calf muscles till the ankle, she is unable to walk and absolute no pain relief whatsoever. Please suggest what can she do. She does not have any other medical conditions. Thank you very much

Oh thanks Mike, I tuned in to get some ideas for my mother and wound up doing the exercises myself. It's interesting, my own mild sciatic pain seems to be related to how tight my muscles are. I had trouble with a few of the movements that were always easy before. I appreciate the inspiration!

Love the these!

😊good! Is one set a day good for he sciatica?

Thank you for a seated sciatic pain video. Right now I don’t think I could get up and down on the floor - so appreciate finding something I can do and have benefited from.

Thank you

These stretches are part of my regular routine two years later.

I welcome all back exercises. These are good but I am unable to cross my legs so couldn't do the last one. Thanks so much for helping us.

Thank you so very much for this video. I'm experiencing sciatica nerve pain and the pain has been so excruciating until I felt like I was going to vomit several times. It has lessen some thanks be to God. Walking and standing still hurts. How many repetitions for these stretches?? Again thank you for taking the time to make this video. God bless you.

Mike, I can't get my leg up on the knee. Too heavy. I like that you hold the stretches in all your videos for 30 seconds. I am 83 and live in the U.S. Thanks for all your awesome videos.

This helps.

Thank you so much. I've been in agony with sciatica for quite a while now but didn't think exercising would help. It does. You're brilliant Mike.

What if i can't bring my leg up cause of the pain. I can't even bend down to do much

im in my starting 20 and i just had this iike 2 days ago i feel like so bad and scared

Is this OK to do when you're struggling really badly with osteoarthritis in your knees?

Doing your stretches! Got sciatica! Thanks will be back ! I'm 72 years old

Mike , just want to know, can I do these exercises more than one time?
Would like to inform following you,also gives me great relief, doing once only.

Your sciatica stretches are amazing, thank you Mike

I have a pinched nerve in my thigh area which Exercise is best to relieve the pain and numbness

The first stretch makes my left leg tingle and my calf gets pain.

Wow! I just started following you and wondered if you had anything for sciatica. And YES! YES! YES! Thank you so much. You are doing great things for people so keep it up! Well done! I am quite happy to have found you.

TQ for sharing.

Thank you Mike! I like your pep talk about stress - we all could take a lesson from it!

Cannot bend either knee in sitting position. Any other way to do that stretch?

I really like this and yet found that I sort of automatically rounded my shoulders. Here's what I did to stop from doing this. I put my hands on the underside of my chair and held on while bending forth. That stopped me from rounding my shoulders to keep my back straight. Thank you for this. I can easily see myself doing this regularly to help with sciatica. I appreciate you Mike. : )

Thank you for your help and video...I am 71 and recently have a tremendous problem with Sciatica in my Right hip....It has become so painful that I acan't function some days...More pain that I have ever experienced !!! I am looking for more of your videos for Senior Citizens...Thank you so much for all that you do....

Thank you for this video! I am a stroke survivor and hemiplegic. I've had terrible sciatica on my functioning leg for over a month. I've tried many stretches taught to me by physical therapists and they worked but only temporarily but then I followed this video a few times and my sciatica is so much better plus your exercises are easy to do so thank you so much!!

Thank you for this stretches it lessened my pain considerably my hope is my pain will eventually be relieved as i do this stretches 5x a week.
i still cannot do the piriformis stretch but i do a modified one where i bring my foot to the middle of my other leg and hold it there
it is getting better i know by next week i should be able to bring my foot all the way up to opposite thigh.
am hopeful.

I am very grateful for this stretches . My body is riddled with osteo arthritis and now i am experiencng sciatic pain
these moves are doable for elders like me so happy i found your video.
Thank youj

I have started doing this exercise because I have a pain from my right side of the back and down the right leg which I find difficult to cross my right leg. Please advise me on this right back and leg pain. Thanks

I love the exercises you teach for lots of problems l thank you from all the elderly people and me
