According to Anshuka, "The sciatica nerve is located in the lower back and runs through the back of the leg. Sciatica pain is usually caused when a herniated disc or bone spur in the spine presses on the sciatica nerve. The pain originates in the spine and radiates down the back of the leg." Meanwhile, this causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

In the clip's caption, Anshuka shared with her followers how practising the Pigeon Pose and its variations can help relieve the pain and manage symptoms. She said that the three Pigeon Pose variations will "target hip flexors, improve range of motion in the hips, correct spinal alignment, strengthen the muscles in the lower vertebrae and legs, reduce muscle stiffness, improve flexibility in the muscles and tissues around the sciatica nerve, and improve blood circulation around the compressed nerve.
