If you feel a sciatic flare-up coming, do these 2 moves to relieve it now. Step 1, we're gonna do a chair butt stretch. You're gonna cross your leg over the top and then use your elbows to push down the leg and open up that glute. Now this may cause a little bit of pain 'cause it's usually impinged, but this is the first step. You have to release the hip capsule and the glute first. Step 2 is a simple sciatic nerve floss. I'm gonna act like there's a string tied from my head to my toe. I'm gonna lift both at the same time. 10 reps each side. Those two moves should give you relief right now.
