Part 4/5:
After the 30 seconds are up, slump over to release the tension, and hold this posture for another 30 seconds. It’s acceptable to feel discomfort in the back of your leg; however, back pain should be avoided during this exercise.
Final Stretch: Elbow-Driven Release
The last exercise builds upon the previous ones, focusing on deepening the stretch for the sciatic nerve.
Follow these steps:
Keep your feet pressed against a wall and your knees straight.
Place your hands behind your head and interlock your fingers, which provides stability and encourages proper posture.
Lean forward, bringing your elbows inward while maintaining a tight core. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
