Struggling with sciatic pain? Here’s why it’s happening—and one simple towel trick that could bring instant relief. ✨ If the pain is on one side, chances are your posture is pulling you the other way—causing compression and pressure on the sciatic nerve. Try this fascia release technique and focus on the full exhale to unlock the tension. 💨
🎥 Watch, try it, and let me know in the comments: did this help you?

It's a skill issue that simply must be overcome.
I have no clue what she's talking about. Made no sense.
I have had back issues & sciatica a long time, caused by the L5 vertebra slipping forward bc L5/S1 disk is damaged.
When it slips it causes severe sciatica. Within 15 minutes, your on the floor in pain (tears) and unable to lift/move the affected leg and unable to bear weight on that leg/hip. The pain is nightmarish because any attempts to move or walk only excallates the situation extreme pain.
Sometimes it's only the sciatica and sometimes it's only the SI Joint and sometimes it's both!
No PT helps because at this point, PT only exacerbates the problem (by grinding on the pinched nerve).
NOW Positional counterpressure CAN help reduce nerve compression, BUT WHAT SHE'S DOING LOOKS RISKY. This is why i say it makes no sense.
Especially, as a female, but also as a man, you better be careful how you apply positional counterpressure to the hips (pelvic girdle) – – because the wrong position can increase the misalignment of your pelvic bones (sacrum and R/L hips illiums; including SI joints and pubic joint). If you provide the wrong counterpressure, it will increase nerve compression and it could push things farther out of alignment … leading to worse disk and nerve compression.
For women, deal with ligament laxity on a monthly basis. The pelvic bones and joints are suseptible to ligament laxity at monthly intervals. The wrong pressure will cause problems.
A good PT or good Chiropractor should be able to identify and correct the pelvic alignments with correct counterpressure.
BUT emphasis on the word GOOD.
NOT ALL CHIROPRACTORS or PHYSICAL THERAPISTS ARE EQUAL.
If one doesn't work, find a different one. Ive discovered that personal testimonies could be good or misleading.
Chiros will usually tell you if they think soft tissue is preventing adjustment and will advise you get physical therapy and come back if still needed.
PT's will NOT usually tell you you need chiropractic care. Doctors will NOT usually recommend a chiropractor either.
Funny enough though, doctors can & will offer dangerous medication (heart/stroke/bp/liver/kidney),
or dangerous muscle relaxers (breathing, heart, bp),
or dangerous invasive risky procedures (transmit infections into spine or brain, cause epidural punctures, worse crippling and worse pain, or even paralysis, or death ) …
but they are unlikely to send you to a non-invasive chiropractor, even as a last ditch effort to avoid surgery.
Remember that you must know to advocate for yourself, and consult a chiropractor if/when appropriate.
I'M NOT A DOCTOR, SO I CAN'T RECOMMEND TREATMENT OR GIVE ADVISE. This is just my experiences.
I always consult a Doctor FIRST and get imaging! IF they decline to recommend chiro as a possible way to avoid invasive/ risky surgery, then ask why. Get s against chiro in your case. Is tdoctors explanation on why he'here a risk you need to understand about chiropractic treatment in your spine. If you see a chiro, take your images and DISCUSS your injury, condition, images and any treatements you've had. Hear the chiropractors opinion on what treatment he recommends.
I say this with the experience that bone spurs are a risk for chiropractic treatments. There could be other reasons like fractures etc that chiro treatment is ill advised.
I personally was fortunate to find a gentle chiros who was trained in the Palmer method. He was able to get my L5 & Pelvic bones back into the mist neutral alignment.
I eliminated the need for invasive steroid injections which i did benefited from for a couple of years.
It was really nice to get my spinal health back to the point i could exercise again and avoid injections (extremely painful, very risky, and expensive … and are done without anesthesia or pain medicine and under flouroscope radiation).
It was a win-win for me.
Thank you lovely Deanna.
I’ve benefitted so much from you and Quinn and I haven’t even started my sample pack that I bought last year!!!😅
❤thank u!
I have hyper mobility and super loose hips. Any help for me 🙏😞
Thanks for this! Explains why I ran into this very issue today. I was able to somewhat address it using my block, but I hit the wrong spot. I'll use the RIGHT one.
Dear Deanna, just looking at this video gave me relief- your methods are what the body seems to crave for. My sister and I (amongst millions, I'm sure) greatly appreciate your work and so much you give freely. Btw – has anyone told you that you look a little like Terri Irwin from Australia Zoo (The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin's, wife)? Cheers – from your fans in Australia 🇦🇺 👍 👏 😀 ❤️
You are brilliant. Just found your channel. So helpful, thank you
Remedy for bph
Not in pain just a week side ass. This helps
I wish I could say this worked for me but no it absolutely made it feel worse. Everybody is different and you did say "might". Thank you for your tutorial.
My mom can barely sleep. She has been to the ER twice in the last week for this. The pain had gone away, but they had her start therapy. This ultimately made the pain come back the same day. Is this normal?
Hip pain please
So if my pain is on the right side, I put the towel under my right side? This sounds counter intuitive, but I’ll try anything.
Do I have to lay down on the side where the pain is ? Thank you
I severe pain on BOTH sides it’s brutal! 😢
can I do this exercise even if I have a tear in my gluteus minimus?
Thanks for reminding me of this technique. My physical therapist had me do this exercise and it truly helped me. I was sure something so simple wouldn’t work but it really did help. Thanks for the video!
I used my foam roller. It really helped! Thanks!
So beautiful i feel better just looking at you
. The technique helped too.
What a good idea, I'll try this! Blocking has been helping me tremendously in the past few weeks, thank you so much Deanna and Quinn.
I don't have to search for pain it's always here
I don’t have to look for pain it is everywhere
My Wife is experiencing this exact pain. I’m trying my very best to help her. I feel so helpless seeing her like this.
Thanks. Now all I have to do is find a video of how to get up off this floor…
Can't have bursa hip
It seems to help, but I get more pain in my neck doing it. Have you got a solution to both? Thanks
I use a bottle my entire left leg was hurting very painfully bad instead of a towel I use a bottle and rlol my body weight on it strengthen out all that muscle in my butt and leg I did that till my leg started shaking I did that for 45 minutes 2 time a day morning and before I go to bed fr a week and trust me that sciatica was no more
On which side?
I just watched 5-10 videos on sciatica pain. This is the one that actually felt like instant relief for me. I think my glutes are strained and this is kind of a deep massage! And not as painful as a roller. Thanks.
This is thd first video in 5000 that is by a woman!
Too many men tryin to tell women, who have had multiple pregnancies, hiw to sort out pelvic n sciatic pain.
Hows about you just accept what our bodies go through and step up?🤔🤔
No. Made it worse. 😢
Managing nerve blockage holistically works best with Planet Ayurveda formulations like Curcumin Capsules and Neuro Plan Syrup.
OMG ‼️ I can hardly move without feeling like I'm being stabbed repeatedly in my left hip🥵🥵💥 I messed up my back (I have spinal stenosis). An icepack is helping too! Good grief 😰🥴🥶
Is that work for piriformis?
Sciatica is the devil!! I suffer day in and day out!!! It is killing me and I can’t find any relief.. all of these sciatica videos don’t work
Wow. It worked. I've been working on the other side with no result. Thanks!!
This is a pain that I can't wrap my head around! I'm no stranger to pain, but this has literally changed my life over the past month. I've never hurt so bad in my life and felt completely helpless. Nothing I do takes this pain away. God I just want my life back!
