Advanced Piriformis Stretch - for back pain & sciatica.
The piriformis is a very important gluteal muscle, and it is prone to being tight. Generally speaking, in young people, piriformis tightness results from overexertion. In old people, it results from excessive sitting or prolonged immobility.
Sciatica is a symptom and not a disease on its own, and it occurs when pressure is put directly on the sciatic nerve in some way.
Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which sciatica pain is caused by the piriformis being tight. This occurs because the sciatic nerve is close to the piriformis....
Teaching points -
The ankle associated with the piriformis muscle to be stretched should be placed on the bench with the ankle in line with your opposite hip. Gently descend your knee onto the bench with your hands on the bench for support. Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds.
