00:00If you put a pillow under your hips and let your upper body hang off the bed, you stretch the
00:04hip flexors,
00:05psoas, quadratus lumborum, and the deep muscles that connect the pelvis to the lower spine.
00:11As these muscles release, the pelvis and lumbar spine stop pulling on the nerve.
00:17That reduction in tension takes pressure off the sciatic pathway,
00:21allowing the nerve to calm down instead of being compressed.
