Seated Spinal Twist<\/strong><br \/>\nThis stretch helps release tension in the lower back and glutes, common sources of sciatic nerve compression.<br \/>\n<em>How to do it:<\/em><br \/>\nSit on the floor. Cross your affected leg over the other. Place your opposite arm on the outside of the bent knee and gently twist your torso. Hold for 15 seconds and breathe deeply. Return slowly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\">\n<div id=\"primedailys.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"CNS2v4OulY4DFc1HHQkdl9kJDw\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23207117756\/primedailys.com\/primedailys.com_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"CIOR6vTdlo4DFXnyuwgdwOYENg\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23201474937\/tinyhouse-zone.com\/tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>2.

Pull one knee toward your chest, holding it with both hands. Hold for 20 seconds, then switch sides. Repeat two to three times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Cat-Cow Stretch<\/strong><br \/>\nThis yoga-inspired stretch improves spine flexibility and reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve.<br \/>\n<em>How to do it:<\/em><br \/>\nGet on hands and knees.
