This is an exercise intended to mobilise the sciatic nerve. If hamstrings feel 'tight' then this can sometimes be due to the sciatic nerve not gliding between other structures in the area. We use this exercise to nudge the nerve if it is 'stuck' and allow the nerve to move more freely.
******************************
INSTRUCTIONS:
Lie on your back with legs bent and feet flat on the floor. Bring one knee in towards your chest and place your hands gently supporting behind the thigh. Whilst the leg is bent, point the toes.
Gently straighten the leg as you pull your toes towards you (pushing the heel towards the sky). Continue until you feel a slight pull in the back of your hamstrings, calves or bottom then bend the knee again as you point the toes away from you. Repeat 10 times on both sides.
Please note that this is a sciatic nerve mobilisation and so you do not need to hold the stretch or force it. You are simply nudging the nerve a little. Remember that when the knee is bent you point your toes and when it is extended you pull the toes towards you.
******************************
CAUTION!
Mobilising an already irritated nerve can make things worse so of you have sciatic symptoms this may not be the best exercise for you.

If you are having pain or health related issues, please visit a healthcare professional.
If you choose to try some of the exercises, PLEASE use common sense! If something doesn't feel right then DON'T DO IT!
Please note that mobilising restricted tissue can be uncomfortable but it should not be unbearable.
