3. Knee to Opposite Shoulder

Another great stretch for relieving sciatica pain is to bring your knee to the opposite shoulder. Similar to reclining pigeon pose, this pose is aimed at loosening up your glutes and hips. Start by lying on your back and then slowly, with both hands, guide your knee to the opposite shoulder.  Only go as far as you feel comfortable going.  Hold the pose for at least 10 seconds, but see if you can hold it for longer. Remember to breath regularly, because breathing will help with any discomfort and it will help deepen the stretch. Repeat the exercise on the other leg, and don’t be worried if one side is less flexible than the other.  Humans are weird and asymmetrical, so it’s all good.
