Did you know that resting up in bed will often worsen your sciatica condition?

In many cases you will be better off engaging in a regular program of gentle sciatica exercises.

Bed rest is not your best bet

Understandably, many people will retire to their beds when they get an onset of sciatica. Its seems logical that lying down will help the back to relax and repair.

Well, it turns out that in many cases this course of action will actually do you more harm than good. After extended periods of inactivity the back muscles will weaken and the spine will lose some of it's suppleness. Both of which will increase your chances of back strain and serious injury.

Fortunately there is something that you can do for free in your own home: gentle sciatica exercises.
