18 Min Sciatica Exercises for Leg Pain Relief – Sciatica Relief & Treatment for Sciatic Nerve Pain
In supervised exercise therapy, you’ll likely be recommended to attend three weekly sessions where the general goal over the course of your program is to work toward accumulating up to one hour of walking time on a treadmill. A typical session may look like this:
Walk on a treadmill as long as possible until leg pain reaches three or four on a five-point scale.
Rest until the pain goes away.
Start walking again.
Repeat this pattern for up to 60 minutes.
Dr. Van Iterson notes that the people most likely to benefit from this treatment are those who commit to walking consistently — and not just on the days of supervised exercise therapy
