Sciatica can feel frustrating—especially when everyday movements like sitting or bending forward trigger sharp, shooting pain down the leg. For many people, this is a sign of flexion-intolerant sciatica, where forward bending puts extra pressure on spinal discs that may irritate nearby nerves.
What’s surprising to many patients is that stretching the hamstrings—often the first instinct—can actually make things worse in these cases. Because the pain feels like it’s coming from the back of the leg, it’s easy to assume tight hamstrings are the problem. But if bending forward is what aggravates your symptoms, doubling down on that movement usually won’t bring relief.
In this week’s video we are explaining what’s really happening in flexion-intolerant sciatica and introduce strategies that often bring relief by focusing on spinal extension and gentle nerve mobility work.
If sciatica has been interfering with your daily activities, this information could help you understand your condition—and take the right steps toward lasting relief.
