Exercise Course Overview:

Home Treatment Of Sciatica & Back Pain Relief

If you already have sciatica or back pain, then you know that and back problems can really drag you down.

To help, we've put together a short course so you can learn about back health and back exercises that can assist you to strengthen your back, improve your health and stop your sciatica and back pain.

The lessons are broken into 2 parts.

(a) Core Activities that apply to everybody, plus

(b) A more advanced set of exercises.

The reason for this is that the feedback from people who have taken the course and are suffering from the more severe forms of sciatica, or who have a recent back injury, is that some of the exercises are too strenuous for them.

So now, the exercises described in the "Core Activities" section of the course should be suitable for 99% of people.

Feel free to move backwards and forwards between the lessons to find something that works for you.

A Few Key Points:

1. We believe "whatever works" for you is just the right thing for you.

That's why you should try something different to what you are doing now - so you have a chance to find the thing that works for you.

And, if you find something, anything that helps you - here or anywhere else - whatever it is and wherever it's from - USE IT.

2. Finding a short term back fix vs building long term health

You may find that one of the exercises we suggest is just what you need to help your back right now. If so that's great - congratulations. :-)

We also strongly recommend that you take a broader look at your overall health and work out how you can improve it. Very often your back is an early warning system for issues that are building up, or have already built up elsewhere in your body.

For this reason (and in case you're wondering), some of the things we recommend are fairly general in nature becuase they're aimed at improving your overall health.

Remember to read our Disclaimer 

We are not medical practitioners and you should always consult your doctor, health practitioner or back specialist, especially if you experience progressive weakness in the legs or difficulties with bladder or bowel functions (e.g. incontinence).

Core Activities

We encourage you to learm more about how to stay healthy, because its a lot easier to stay healthy than to fix something in your body  once its "broken".

You probably already know the basics - exercise regularly, eat well (meaning fresh, simple not processed foods.)

As far your back in particular goes, one of the best things you can do is strengthen the core stability muscles that support your back in its movements, because whatever treatment you are already getting, or might get, your back is going to function better if these muscles are in good condition and able to do their job properly. 

There are simple things you can do that will make a big difference, for example:

1. Go for a regular 20-30 minute walk.
2. Make sure you get up and stretch regularly if you sit at a desk or behind a wheel driving all day.

Anyway, the course starts here.
