Can you update the video? Perhaps the most commonly treated nerve pathologies we treat is the sciatic nerve. The nerve roots originates from L4,5 S1,2,3. With PT moving towards autonomy, more and more individuals “YouTube” or “google” physical therapy exercises. This is one of the first videos that came up when I searched. Appreciate the video and exercises… Let’s get the anatomy right!
thanks so much for the info, not many know this type of approach to getting relief for sciatica pain. I will try this and come back to post results - hope it works!

My woman was in EXTREME pain from this and this video helped her out a lot, so thank you very much.
@MissUniverseIsMe not only this.u have to perform strengthening exercises to back & abdominal muscles
stretching only.
doesnt it come from the L4 and S3 spinal nerves?
“comes from L1-L5 nerve roots”….really? better check your anatomy book doc. The sciatic nerve is NOT L1-L5, but rather L4-S3
For the past few years i have had problems with my lower back. These stretches have helped. altough they haven’t made the proble go away enirely, they have provided me with relief.

yeah, anatomy is a little off.. L2-L4 is femoral nerve, L4-S3 is sciatic. Also, don’t forget disc herniation can also have sciatica symptoms and you may want to rule that out before putting a patient into flexion with those stretches. Otherwise, good stretches!
