Exercises for Sciatica

If you're an average person in a western country (US, Canada, UK etc) it's very likely you are not getting enough exercise.

The modern, sedentary lifestyle is bad for you and bad for your back.

If your core muscles are weak and the rest of your body is unfit and inflexible, if and when you do get a back problem, it's going to hit you much harder.

At the end of the day it's your choice what you do - you have to weigh up the pros and cons - the effort of exercise vs the potential benefits.

Some Key Pointa About Stopping Sciatica

•  Look After Yourself

In general, regular, moderate exercise of the right type and a good diet and are two of the keys to a long healthy life and a healthy back.

Also add "eliminating bad back habits" to your "must do" list for  your back in particular.

• Whatever Works For You Is The Right Approach

Personally, I subscribe to the "whatever works" school of back treatment.

Overall, whatever works for you, use it.

Remember, any back treatment you do undertake is going to work better if the muscles that stabilize and support your spine are in good working order.

I know different approaches have worked for me at different times, depending on what state my back was in, so it will probably be the same for you.

Sometimes one exercise would be absolutely great for my back and take away the pain and discomfort from siatica. Then at others time it wouldn't seem to do much at all.

Why? Well the theory is that your body gets used to and adapts to exercises, so long term you need to vary your routine.

In the end though it doesn't really matter why, the strategy is find something else that works for you and use that.

For me, later on I'd try the original exercise again and Hey Presto! often it worked again.

Suggestions To Get Started:

We suggest you try the following simple steps to give your body what it needs to function and heal itself properly:

1.  If you've got back pain or sciatica right now, review your routine and patterns of movement to see where you're (inadvertently) doing things that are bad for your back e.g. typing away at a PC, or driving for hours on end without a stretch break.

2.  Start a set of sciatica exercises designed to help your back - register for our back exercise course or buy the Better Back System.

3.  Develop good eating habits. Food is the fuel, lubrication and building material of your body. Guess what - feed it rubbish and it ain't gonna work very well!

4. Don't rush into surgery - read more about surgery here.

Research clearly indicates that most of the time you won't get a better outcome from surgical treatment and sometimes you'll be worse off. In other words, surgical patients have the same long-term outcomes as those who receive effective non-surgical care.

Good News

It's not actually that hard to make a big difference to your siatica and how your back feels - when you know what to do.

If you want to find out how you could end your back pain quickly, without drugs or surgery, using a few simple exercises that you can do in less than 10 minutes a day, it's all laid out in the Better Back System.

You'll be surprised at how much difference you can make to your back with just a few minutes per day of the right type of exercise.

And even better, you don't need to be a gymnast or a weightlifter to use the exercise system in the Better Back System.
