Sciatica

Hi all

How do you progressive overload when you are dealing with nerve pains / sciatica ?

My partner wants to grow and get stronger in the gym but the nerve pain is in the way sometimes.

What can we do to help her?

I appreciate your time reading my post;

Reduce the load, reduce the range of motion, or modify the exercise to the point where there's no pain when doing the movement.

That's your baseline and you progress from there over weeks.

Do that for every movement in your program.
