The body has an incredible ability to heal, especially when we create the right environment.
Pain is not a sign of weakness — it’s a sign that the nervous system needs reassurance, safety, and time.

You don’t have to push through pain.
You don’t have to fight your body.
You can work with it, gently, compassionately, and patiently.

Even a few minutes a day of calming practices can begin to shift the cycle — from pain and guarding, toward softness and healing.

The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in your body, playing a vital role in lower limb function and mobility. Originating from the lumbar and sacral plexus, it travels down the spine, through the pelvis, and into the legs, branching off to deliver motor and sensory signals. But due to its long journey, it's prone to compression and irritation, which can cause pain, numbness, and dysfunction. In this post, we’ll explore its pathway, common compression points, how hysterectomies and sacral damage can impact it, and most importantly, how you can take charge of your recovery with Hypopressives, breathwork, foot mechanics, and release techniques.
