    Ha,it's what my Pilates instructor says.So let's say you are laying down on your. Back and you bring your knees into chest,with your arms around your knees.If you kinda roll back your lower spine looses contact with the floor.As you roll back to your starting position,you slowly lower your back 1 vertebrae at a time as you get flat again.Slowly.
    If your doing a reverse bridge where your shoulders and feet are the parts of your body making floor contact and and your arching the pelvis toward the ceiling with your butt off the ground.When you return to laying flat you slowly unroll your back with each section of your back making contact with the floor in a slow deliberate manner.
    Does that help? You don't want to rush intone out of a stretch or a position.You want to control how your spine rolls in and out of movements.

    It definitely explains why I got yelled at for sitting up and putting my feet down.

    My first experience with sciatica started when I was pregnant. My massage therapist talked to me about Piriformis syndrome, where sometimes the sciatic nerve runs through the piriformis muscle instead of alongside it. The muscle can pinch on the nerve and cause sciatica. It isn't the cause for everyone but there are stretches that you can try to see if it helps. http://www.spine-health.com/video/sciatica-exercises-piriformis-syndrome-video But honestly, my greatest relief came from acupuncture.
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes
