A member asked:
When doing pelvic floor exercises i sometimes get sharp pain in back or sciatica pain running down leg? i have no spine problems.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sciatic nerve: The sciatic nerve comes out of an area of the pelvic floor muscles. If you are contracting these muscles or if they are inflamed / irritated the sciatic nerve can be irritated. Stretching and chiropractic would be helpful. Also, there are Physical Therapists specifically trained to improve pelvic floor tone.
