Walking Tips for People with Sciatica
Walking is often one of the first therapeutic exercises that people with sciatica can try during recovery. You can start by trying multiple walks in short distances on a daily basis. It is advisable to change the posture regularly as postural muscles may lose the endurance in a reactive state. The key is to stretch muscles gently, followed by applying ice packs and lying face down or face up. Other walking tips for people with sciatica include:
– Run in a pace that allows you to talk normally with others
– Choose a flat terrain
– Keep the distance short
– Take a break if necessary
– Wear supportive shoes and comfortable clothes [5]
