5. Cat-Cow Exercise
Another great exercise that you can do in order to help ease some of the pain associated with meralgia paresthetica is called the cat-cow stretch. You do not need any equipment to perform this exercise.
To do the cat-cow movement you will start out on your hands and knees. Your hands should be lined up under your shoulders. Your knees should be below the hips at ninety degrees. Start out by arching your back up. Let the belly sag. Lift your chest and eyes until you are looking at the ceiling. Hold this position for thirty seconds. Next, return to your starting position slowly. Then tuck in your pelvis and arch the back in the opposite direction. Let your head drop into a relaxed position. Hold for thirty seconds and then return to the start position.
Repeat these movements three to five times each morning to help ease your pain.
