Michael has been a vital partner to help me overcome injuries and identify areas of weakness. He constantly assesses and adapts interventions to encourage recovery. The stretch, glide, manipulate, and dry needling techniques have helped keep me active.

My time with Dr Derry was worth every penny.  After suffering with pain from a car accident almost 4 years ago Physical Therapy was the key to increasing my strength and decreasing my pain.  Dr Derry worked with my crazy working mom schedule and traveled to both my home and place of business.  I highly recommend Dr Derry.

-Jill M.

Dr. Derry was extremely helpful with developing my in-home program.  My back is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago. He gets to know what your goals are, then works on a individual plan with you.  Very good experience!

Core Strengthening That Won't Aggravate Your Sciatica

Build core strength safely with exercises designed specifically for sciatica sufferers - no more avoiding core training due to nerve pain.

Why Most Core Workouts Fail for Sciatica Sufferers

If you have sciatica, you've probably been told that core strengthening is important - but most programs completely ignore the unique challenges of nerve pain. Traditional core exercises often increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can trigger or worsen sciatica symptoms.

This specialized core workout solves that problem by focusing on nerve-safe movements that build strength without aggravating your condition. You'll learn proper breathing techniques, understand how to avoid pressure buildup, and progress through exercises designed specifically for people with sciatica.

The 6 exercises include modified yoga poses like downward dog with foot pedals for nerve mobility, prone press-ups for spinal positioning, and carefully progressed planks that respect your nerve sensitivity. Each movement serves a specific purpose in your sciatica recovery while building the core strength you need.

This isn't about pushing through pain or forcing aggressive movements. It's about smart, targeted core training that works with your nervous system, not against it.
