You Can Get Instant Relief From Sciatica And Lower Back Pain With Just A Tennis Ball... Here’s How
By Michele
To lessen your aches and pains, physical therapist Manu Kalia explains you need to exercise your piriformis muscle, as shown in the video below.
A tennis ball, or two wrapped together, will serve to massage your muscle if you lie on it and let it roll across your glutes.
The piriformis muscle is located quite near the sciatic nerve, and this exercise will help with pain in that area. Make sure you vary the positions for a wider area of effect.
You must remember that most sciatic pain is a result of a spinal condition, such as herniated disk or a narrowing of the spinal canal, which causes the nerve pain, so targeting the piriformis muscle is just one of the steps to relieving the sciatic pain. You still need to target the root of the problem in the spinal cord, so a consultation with a health care provider is important, as tennis ball therapy may be just one component added to a physical therapy, medication or exercise program.
If the sciatica or back pain result from pinched nerve, avoid placing the tennis ball near the pinched nerve to reduce the risk of further injury.
It’s always a good practice to talk to your doctor about your condition before you start a tennis ball therapy program to find out if there are any restrictions related to your condition.
Watch the video below to learn the exercise.
