[Instagram Link] - Here are some tools to deal with piriformis issues. I've mentioned it in a few of my story posts, but it's worth mentioning here again. Stret...ching the piriformis (or any muscle for that matter) isn't ALWAYS the best approach for pain relief or improvement in range of motion. (I generally don't prefer to do much stretching with people unless I have to, and it certainly doesn't stop me from getting results!) A painful muscle may be in a shortened OR lengthened position. Stretching a lengthened muscle or strengthening a shortened muscle may result in the achy area feeling more sensitive. (I'll post more on this later) I always recommend finding a position of relief to allow the muscle to relax first, and if that doesn't work, then move to light stretching. Positions of relief can be held for 2-3 minutes, and stretches for 30 seconds for 2-3 reps. Do you use them all at once? No. Pick 1-2. Should you do these if you have sciatic pain? Not until you've been medically cleared. The issue could be coming from the spine. Be smart. :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_Ues2B1bE/
