Walking can relieve your sciatic pain by spurring the release of pain-fighting endorphins and reducing inflammation. Support your walking posture and minimize sciatica pain by following these tips.

  • Land between your mid-foot and heel, then gently roll onto your toes and push off into the next stride.
  • Slow down your pace; you should be able to comfortably hold a conversation while walking.
  • Keep your head and shoulders tall and focus on a spot in the distance.
  • Follow a rhythmic breathing pattern to help keep your mind focused and alert while walking.
  • Pull your stomach slightly toward your body for the duration of your walk and keep a comfortable pace.
