Pilates classes for sciatica treatment

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, and the one with the largest diameter. It originates from several nerve branches in the spinal column, in particular the roots of the last two lumbar vertebrae (L4 and L5) and the first three sacral nerves. It then continues on to the buttock, the posterior aspect of the leg and is divided, then the posterior aspect of the leg and is divided at the posterior part of the knee. In this way, it ensures motricity and sensitivity in the posterior part of the thigh. The sciatic nerve is involved in sciatic pain, which can extend from the buttocks to the thighs, legs and feet, right down to the toes.

Other symptoms include:

• fatigue, numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
• inability to bend the foot sufficiently to walk on heels
