Prevent Lower Back Pain

“Prevent Lower Back Pain”
Sciatica is the technical term for a herniated disc in the lumbar spine that can put pressure on spinal nerve roots, causing pain in the posterior chain.
Kinetic aquatic therapy provides assistance and resistance when needed to improve flexibility and relieve such pain.
Try these bilateral & unilateral forward flexion stretches for the hamstrings.
Please note focus should be on balance and quality of movement.
A gentle overhead stretch and extension with the hips locked can also be performed to relieve tension in the affected area.
