Pilates for sciatica

Sciatica is pain caused by an irritated nerve. It's felt from your bottom down to your feet and toes.

Sciatica is due to something pressing or rubbing on the sciatic nerve. The most common cause is a slipped disc in your spine.

The sciatic nerve is the largest peripheral nerve in the body. It starts around the lower back and runs down the back of the leg

Symptoms of sciatica include shooting pain in your bottom and the backs of your legs.

Treatment for sciatica includes exercise, stretches and painkillers.

PILATES help relieve sciatica by mobilising the sciatic nerve and improving lower back flexibility, teaching you how to correct movement dysfunctions and offload structures that are causing compression of the sciatic nerve. It will strengthen the muscles that support your lower back and reduce pain. It is a very effective treatment for sciatica, as It doesn't place too much pressure on your body.
