Lifestyle Ciática
Caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve, sciatic pain can end up making it difficult to move in several cases. It is best to be aware and know what to do so as not to get stuck in your movements.
Physiotherapist Sue Hitzmann was responsible for creating the MELT method, which consists of self-training to relieve chronic pain and signs of aging. The 'website' US News explained how this practice can help relieve the symptoms of sciatic pain. You will need a tennis ball for the exercises.

"Do not put a roller or a ball directly on the sciatic nerve, where you feel pain, since you are creating compression in an area that is already compressed or dehydrated", she begins by saying.
"Go up and down where we have our weak points and work on this exchange of fluids", she continues. This way, she explains that you should start with a hand massage with the tennis ball, or another that is soft and smooth to the touch. Go through all the fingers and the palm of your hand.
Do the same thing on your feet, through the heel and toes. In this case, you can stand or sit on a chair. Lying down, you can also make it go through the entire calf area. Back to your hands, make the ball move quickly to stimulate blood flow.
The physiotherapist explains that you should do four to six repetitions of the movements to start feeling some relief.
