Water exercises are also recommended if you suffer from sciatica pain. The exercises (i.e. leg lifts) can focus on working the stomach muscles and provide a good stretch for the legs.
Perform some leg lifts in the pool to work your abdominal muscles. With your back to the side of the pool, extend your arms along the edge of the pool. Tighten your abdominal muscles and try lifting both legs. You may also bend your knees to the chest or swing your legs to the left and right.
Perform 10 lifts with the knees bent and 10 lifts keeping your legs straight.
