Great Exercise for Spinal Stenosis

Updated: Oct 23

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.
