Deadlift is a great workout to strengthen the spine, the hips, the core, and the whole system. Also doing this well will pattern the movement into your body and help you do better at lifting things everyday.
This video, along with the next one, will show how I like to do part of the progression for deadlifting and core strengthening work. The key is trying to get the right areas of the body to do the right type of work.
This is a good series of exercises for anyone who has any low back pain, hip pain, and/or knee pain. This is a great series that you can do with no exercise equipment needed and do at home or pretty much anywhere. There is a lot of research that supports hip strengthening can help those areas listed earlier.
This video is going to help stretch the upper back or thoracic spine. These stretches are great for anyone who sits a lot for work, has bad or hunched over position, or is looking down at their phone a lot. This is a routine I would recommend for most people in our society.
Usually there is a direction or movement that your body doesn’t like. Be aware of that direction or movement and don’t continue to do that movement. Don’t make things worse. Depending on the injury you have, you may find some movements or activities beneficial or bothersome. However, some of these exercises are really good just general movement type activities.

The sciatic nerve originates from the last couple nerve roots from the lumbar spine and then nerve roots coming from the sacrum all combine and go out into the glutes, behind the leg in the hamstring, splints in the back of the knee, and goes down to the foot. A true sciatica type pain would be anything like pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, etc. that follows the area the sciatic nerve innervates, especially when it goes past the knee and into the lower leg and foot.
