Great exercise for spinal stenosis!
Spinal Stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This can cause numbness and tingling, leg pain, muscle weakness, back pain, and/or sciatica.
This exercise helps to open up the spinal canal and relieve pressure on your sciatic nerve. Here is how to do it:
1. This exercise is performed sitting in a chair
2. Place both hands directly in front of you. One on top of the other.
3. While keeping your butt on the chair, reach in between your legs and under the chair as far as you can comfortably go.
4. Return to the starting position.
5. Perform this exercise 10x every waking hour OR as prescribed by your doctor.
