Backbends and sciatica

Post by Isabelle CP »

The flossing spine exercice is amazing thank you !
Can sciatica be caused by backbends ? (it is what I feel in my case while child pose and caterpillar are such a relief). Thank you.

Yes, it is possible. Remember, there are several causes of sciatica and discogenic causes may be related to the disc bulging onto a nerve root. If you feel relief in a particular posture, you may be pushing the "jelly" in the other direction.
