Sciatic Nerve Glide Floss
Seated on a chair with one knee straightened out in front, look up as the toes pull back, then look down as they point, the two ends moving together.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, hands on the seat, one leg straightened out in front, heel off the floor.
Steps
- Tip the head back to look up as you pull the toes toward you.
- Then drop the chin toward the chest as you point the toes away.
- Keep flowing between the two slowly, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Pulling into tingling or pain: make the movements smaller until they feel easy. Looking down while the toes pull back: that tugs the nerve from both ends; the head goes up as the toes come back. Slumping in the chair: sit tall so only the head and the foot move.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
