Sciatica refers to pain radiating along the path of the sciatic nerve—from your lower back through your hips and down each leg.
### Gentle Home Management Strategies:
– **Sciatic Nerve Flossing:** Gentle mobilization of the nerve through its anatomical path reduces adhesions without causing acute irritation.
– **Pelvic Tilts & Core Bracing:** Activating the transversus abdominis provides natural muscular support for lumbar vertebrae.
– **Ergonomic Sitting Protocols:** Avoid soft sinking couches during acute flares. Use a firm supportive chair with lumbar roll support.
*Note: Always consult a licensed physiotherapist before initiating new exercise routines during acute nerve flare-ups.*
