Pelvis Presley shows you the movement that works!

December is the perfect month for giving—and I’m sharing a gift that might be a little unexpected.
​
If you or someone you care about struggles with sciatic pain, today I want to give you a little twist (or shall I say a side bend) on a classic move.
​
Sometimes, the best way to ease pain is to disrupt the usual routine and find your own path to relief.
​
Is your sciatic nerve cranky right now—sending fiery, burny, sharp pain down your leg?
​
I’ve got a playful, effective way to address it: what I’m calling a disruptive move for sciatic nerve relief.
​
Meet Pelvis Presley—my new sidekick making their debut on camera! Pelvis and I are here to help you explore your sciatic nerve in a fun, informative way. Think of it as a “swiveling sciatica” experience—your nerve gets to move in a new direction, side to side, instead of just the usual forward and back.
​

Here’s the video in a nutshell:
  1. Traditional Flossing – You might already know this move: sitting tall while you extend one leg straight, and pair leg movement with gentle neck motion. This helps give your nerve some room to glide. And if you don’t know it then the video is a must see!
    ​
    ​
  2. The Side Bend Disruption – This is my version: with a small towel under your arm for support, gently side bend while you extend your leg. This side-to-side motion gives your nerve a new kind of freedom—and might just surprise you with how good it feels.
​
Then, don’t miss watching the second exercise—it’s a playful side-bend that shows your nerve a whole new way to move!
​
​
The goal?
​
Awareness.
​
Understanding where your nerve lives, what movements help, and how small changes can make a big difference.
​
Try it for yourself, and then comment below to let me know how it feels!
​
​
​
Here’s to giving yourself the gift of movement and relief this December.
​
Stay well and happy moving,
Lisa
​
P.S. Swivelling Sciatica has made its on-camera debut, thanks to Pelvis Presley. Hopefully your sciatic nerve doesn’t start singing—but if it swivels, that’s a win in my book.
