   Hi Olga,
   Thanks for the hip flexor sequence. I’m hoping these will help sciatica pain. The only one I don’t understand is #8. I’m sure you will explain these in your new class.

     Hi Pat! Although this is not a sequence for sciatica specifically, it can help with your discomfort if your hip flexors are contributing to the problem. And yes, we will go over #8 in class, it’s a actually a pretty easy one: you just bend sideways while lying on the ground. See you soon!

     I #10 all you do is lean one knee across the body with the foot on the floor. It gives nice relief to the hip flexors.

   I’ve been suffering from chronic coming and going hip pain (old injury, caused tightness and weaknesses all over) for over 4 years now, and now it’s progressed into back, tailbone, and buttock pain on top of it, that basically bounces and radiates all over and sometimes goes down the leg. I was getting better via posture awareness, chiro and acupuncture, but I’ve had a pretty bad flare up due to my job demand and a dance class that was both too hard for me and did not have proper warm up. Seeing a physio now, taking it easy where I can and limiting high impact activities, and I notice a couple exercises the physio give me are similar to some here, and other poses I’ve tried on my own while experimenting that have helped sometimes are similar to these as well. Hopefully this is something that will benefit the route cause of this and finally start giving me some more consistent results. I look forward to practicing this daily with whatever routines my physio gives me, thanks for this 🙂

   Wish I could have you as a therapist. In PT to strengthen core (scoliosis, now spondylolisthesis (worsening), nerve impingement, bulge and tears in 2 disks plus osteophytes and bursitis in both hips (am 84). Therapist had me sit on an exercise ball (less painful on sit bones area) to do clockwise and counterclockwise hip rotations. Could not walk for couple days – causes leg to go out from under (pain). Finally got the therapist to touch/check out area. Kept telling her the pain is in the upper back to upper outer thigh. After 2 weeks of stretching, exercising, she did. Found a huge knot where the hamstring meets the pelvis. So much pain. Ostoporosis prohibits me from doing bend overs, twists, etc. Nice. I am leaving in 2 weeks for a trip overseas (7 hour flight), van, etc.
