3 Simple Pressure Points for Sciatica Relief
Sciatica is a painful condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs, becomes irritated or compressed. While there are several treatment options available, including medication and physical therapy, pressure points can also provide relief for sciatica pain. Here are a few pressure points that may be helpful:
-
RP1: This pressure point is located on the outer part of the lower leg, just below the knee. Applying pressure to this point can help relieve pain in the lower back, hips, and legs.
-
RP90: This pressure point is located on the lower back, about two inches away from the spine on either side. Applying pressure to this point can help relieve lower back pain and sciatica pain.
-
RP400: This pressure point is located on the hand, between the thumb and index finger. Applying pressure to this point can help relieve pain in the lower back and legs.
The Rollga is a foam roller that is specifically designed to target pressure points throughout the body. Here are some of the ways you can use the Rollga to target the pressure points mentioned earlier for sciatica relief:
-
RP1: To target this pressure point using the Rollga, sit on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you. Place the Rollga under the outer part of your lower leg, just below the knee, and roll back and forth on the Rollga to apply pressure to the RP1 pressure point.
-
RP90: To target this pressure point using the Rollga, lie on your back with your knees bent and place the Rollga under your lower back, about two inches away from the spine on either side. Roll back and forth on the Rollga to apply pressure to the RP90 pressure point.
-
RP400: To target this pressure point using the Rollga, sit on the ground with your hand resting on the Rollga. Place the Rollga under the webbing between your thumb and index finger and roll back and forth on the Rollga to apply pressure to the RP400 pressure point.
By using the Rollga to target these pressure points, you can help relieve tension and pain associated with sciatica. Applying too much pressure or using pressure points incorrectly can cause further injury and exacerbate sciatica pain. As with any therapy, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting a new treatment plan.
Plz locate the point in the picture
Thx
Please send pictures with your explanations as the points are then easier to locate
Pressure point we need picture
Image your points, since “RP” means nothing to real acupuncturists. The correct designations of the meridians do not have “RP”.
