Help with sciatic nerve pain

Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network Exercise Specialist Adrien shows you some stretches and exercises for those with sciatic nerve pain, also called sciatica. You will need a chair and a stool or step for this activity. Coach Luna keeps an eye on Adrien and approves of his techniques.

Watch the video by clicking the image, below.



If you are new to physical activity, if you are returning to physical activity after injury or illness, or if you have a medical condition that might make physical activity difficult, please consult with your family doctor before starting a physical activity program. Adrien also suggests that if you are at risk of falls, please have someone present with you while you do the falls prevention exercises.

If you have questions for Adrien, please add a comment on our YouTube channel. Also, please subscribe to our channel so you can get notification as Adrien adds more videos.
