Sciatic Nerve Pain
People with radiating pain from lower back down one or both legs
Training Protocol
McKenzie extensions (press-ups) if centralisation occurs. Nerve flossing (sciatic nerve glide). Core stability (McGill Big 3). Walking is therapeutic. Progress to deadlift patterns only after pain centralises and reduces.
Nutrition Strategy
Anti-inflammatory stack: omega-3 (3g EPA/DHA), turmeric (curcumin 500mg with piperine), Vitamin B12 (nerve health).
What To Avoid
Seated forward folds (loaded flexion), heavy squats during acute phase, prolonged sitting.
