Sciatica pain is often very responsive to gentle nerve gliding, muscle relaxation, and circulation improvement — especially when addressed early. These 5 chair-friendly stretches and quick tips are among the safest and most recommended first steps by physical therapists and pain specialists for people over 60.
Most people feel significant relief within days to weeks — but listen to your body and stop if any move increases sharp pain.
