It is not just pregnant women, those who sit for long periods of time, or the elderly. I have students from age 15 on up, in excellent health, except for Sciatic Nerve pain. Of course you should see your Doctor to treat this condition. I can post it on this web site and credit your name with the knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
Many people suffer from Sciatica, and find relief with a regular yoga practice.
Sciatic Nerve Pain often is most intense around the Sciatic crest of the pelvis - basically, the middle of the buttock cheek. If pressure stays on the nerve, keeping it compressed or pinched. To alleviate pressure in this area, it is helpful to stretch the gluteal muscles, piriformis, the I.T. band. It is also helpful to widen the pelvis and increase the rotation of the hip. Opening the hips can also help with low back pain.
