I have a client who I haven't really done much screening on yet but she says she has been experiencing mild pain in her bum area and tingling down her leg. Especially when she bends over the babies cot to pick up her baby. Can I do the sciatic nerve exercise with her or is this a case of keeping away when a client experience pain?
You are quite right, keep away from working on the item that causes the pain. Work on the componants that you know can increase the load on the sciatic nerve (by screening) then provide her with the relevant exercises. if that helps, all well and good. if not then get her to see a therapist.
