Lie on your back on the exercise mat, with your legs flat. From the starting position, pull the affected leg up toward your chest with both hands. If your right leg is affected, hold the right knee with your right hand and grasp the ankle with your left hand. Pull the ankle, and push your knee towards the opposite ankle. Pull only until a slight stretch is felt. Make sure not to force your ankle or knee beyond the stretch.

Tips:
Before starting any type of stretches and exercises, always consult your spine specialist.
You will benefit from stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle if you perform them a few times a day.
Combine stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle with hamstring stretches.
Stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle and hamstring stretches will prevent a tightening of the lower back and relieve tension from hip to foot.
Always perform the stretch to the point you do not feel pain. Make sure not to force your body beyond the stretch.

Number of repetitions:
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position, taking 30 seconds.
Repeat this stretching exercise 2 to 3 times, 2 to 3 times daily.

The “upper body upward press”, or Cobra, is an advanced form of sciatica stretching for herniated-disc extension. Before trying this stretching exercise, get used to “Rise on elbows” extensions, which is a basic stretching exercise for people suffering from herniated-disc sciatica pain.
Lie flat on your tummy on the exercise mat. From this position, press up on your hands. Your pelvis should remain on the floor. Rise up from your elbows, stretch your neck away from your shoulders, and draw your abdominal wall in. Make sure to keep your lower back and buttocks relaxed for a gentle stretch.

Tips:
Before starting any type of stretches and exercises, always consult your spine specialist.
If you are unable to lie flat, a similar exercise can be done standing: slightly bend your knees and slowly arch backward with your hands on your hips.
Perform extension exercises regularly, if possible every 2 hours, or follow the recommendations of your spine specialist.
Since a forward-bent or bent-over position counteracts the effects of the extension exercises, people with a herniated disc should avoid bending forward.
After performing stretching exercises, you should continue to perform exercises that will strengthen your lower back muscles and abdominals.
Strong lower back muscles and abdominals will help you prevent sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc.

Number of repetitions:
Hold in press up position for 1 second. Repeat 10 times.

Get on your hands and knees on the exercise mat. Slowly sit back on your heels, but leave your arms stretched out above your head. Your torso rests on your legs, with your feet touching your buttocks. Stay in this position for 30 seconds, and then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat this stretching exercise at least four times.

Tips:
Before starting any type of stretches and exercises, always consult your spine specialist.

With this type of sciatic pain, you will feel some relief when sitting down bent forward — in comparison to standing up straight.

When treating sciatica from spinal stenosis, spine specialists often recommend flexion exercises or forward-bending exercises.
Forward-bending exercises flex the lower spine and increase the size of passageways, causing the pain and irritation to lessen.
Exercises that relieve sciatica pain caused by stenosis include a combination of stretching and strengthening exercises.
Backward-bending exercises stretch the muscles that hold the spine straight.
Another type of exercises focuses on forward bending. These exercises strengthen the muscles that bring the spine into a forward-bending position.

Number of repetitions:
Hold in child position for 10 seconds. Slowly return to the starting position, taking around 30 seconds. Repeat 6 times.
Gradually work toward holding the child position for 30 seconds. Slowly return to the starting position, again taking 30 seconds. Repeat 6 times.

This exercise targets: sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat

Lie down on the exercise mat, on your stomach, in a prone position. Prop your upper body up on your elbows, but make sure to keep your hips on the floor. People who suffer from sciatica pain from a herniated disc often cannot tolerate this position at first, so this movement should be performed slowly and carefully.

Tips:
Always consult your spine specialist before starting any type of stretches and exercises.
Perform extension exercises regularly, if possible every 2 hours, or follow the recommendations of your spine specialist.
Since bending over or bending forward counteracts the effects of extension exercises, people with a herniated disc should avoid doing this.
After doing stretching exercises, you should continue to perform exercises that will strengthen your lower back muscles and abdominals.
Strong lower back muscles and abdominals will help you prevent sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc.

Number of repetitions:
Start with holding the press-up position for 5 seconds per repetition. Repeat 10 times.
Gradually increase the press-up position to 30 seconds per repetition. Repeat 10 times.
