Perfect Piriformis Stretch

The piriformis muscle is a deep hip rotator that can be hard to stretch even though there are a lot of stretches that target it. It’s knowing how to work into the stretch that makes all the difference.

A tight and inflamed piriformis muscle is the most common cause of sciatic nerve pain, or sciatica. It can also cause a general tightness and pain in the hips. Learning how to work into the muscle to find the perfect stretch that works best for you.

This video shows several piriformis stretches and how to move around to work deep into the muscle for maximum relief. Let me know how it works for you!

I have to admit, watching these guys are kind of corny, because they're a bit goofy, but they definitely make me laugh and I do genuinely love learning new stuff while watching Masters at work, in any field, especially if it is in related to muscles, exercies or stretches and the body. This particular stretch was one that was helping with lower back pain, and the piriformis muscle. I like using this stretch both on the table, off the table (on the floor), and on the mats as well for my Thai massage clients. But some of the details I'd like to illustrate is that you can increase the intensity by pulling that ankle across the opposite knee cap further and then using that same side arm to push the knee down, while simultaneously pulling the opposite knee to the chest. (Just like in the picture but his right elbow is hidden) And if you want even more work, you can unbend that bottom leg and straighten it for more intensity and a deeper stretch. If you're experiencing lower back pain, or have piriformis syndrome, this is a great stretch that you can perform in so many different positions and angles, and I highly recommend it. #nopain Happy healing, y'all. • • • #lowerbackpain #piriformisstretch #stretching #ptstretches #massage✋ #manualtherapy #orthopedicmassage #lovewhatyoudo 💓 #indigobodymassage✋💖🔥 (at Indigo Body Massage by Jessie) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bub2uycAopv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=59pvwzxx5x9z

The pigeon stretch is a very effective stretch and is in most peoples arsenal of hip & glute stretches. For the full benefit of the pigeon stretch we need to be in the correct position and alignment for the stretch to truly work its magic. Here is a demonstration for Joe of an 'elevated' pigeon stretch, this is a great way to keep control of your posture and alignment to get the most out of the stretch. Joe even adds some thoracic mobility with some light twist focusing on the alignment of the spine.⠀ ⠀ Demo by @joetherapy⠀ ・・・⠀ Piriformis Stretch with a TWIST🌪⠀ -⠀ Literally!!! Here's a variation of the pigeon pose that I like to play with during mobility sessions. Give it a try 🙂⠀ -⠀ Here's how to Perform the Piriformis Stretch with a Twist!⠀ -⠀ ☝️Find a table, bench or plyo box. You can also do those on the ground but it is a little harder to perform.⠀ 1️⃣ Place one leg on the table with the knee bent.⠀ 2️⃣ The opposite leg is straight. ⠀ 3️⃣ Hinge from the hip.⠀ 👉Do not hunch over! Notice my back is fairly straight from head to heel.⠀ 4️⃣ Place your arms crossed over your shoulders.⠀ 5️⃣ Rotate the upper body back and forth 🔁 Repeat on the other side!⠀ -⠀ 💫Let me know if you're going to try this stretch!⠀ -⠀ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⠀ Looking for health & fitness professionals, information, tips, advice?

Today’s #moveoftheday is called downward facing dog - but as yoga w Adrienne calls it: taking your dog for a walk. I don’t know. Call it what you want it really stretches your legs - which is why I love it. • from the forward fold position, walk your hands out til your body makes an arch. Keep your legs as straight as possible but do not lock your knees. • hold position until your body is comfortably stretched • next bend one knee, straighten then bend the other knee. Switching back and forth until you feel comfortable. . This is a great stretch for your #pirformis ... . . . . . . #piriformisstretch #fitness #injuredlife #piriformissyndrome #injuredrunner #run #running #health #fitmom #stretching #healthymom #injuredathlete #injured #ketomom #homeschoolingmom #onedayatatime (at Frederick, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGqjnCl8CL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y21pxwcsc7nf

Today’s move for #piriformissyndrome. Standing Forward fold. boy this move was hard but so worth it. Here’s how you do it: • bend forward at the hips. • Let the crown of your head hang down. Press your heels into the floor. Do not lock your knees. • If you can keep the front of your torso long and your knees straight, place your palms or fingertips on the floor beside your feet. Bring your fingertips in line with your toes and press your palms on the mat. Those with more flexibility can place their palms on the backs of their ankles. If you can’t do either, grasp both elbows w opposite hands. • Bring your weight to the balls of your feet. Keep your hips aligned over your ankles. • Let your head hang. . It’s a great stretch for your back too - depending on where your back hurts. . . . . . #injuredrunner #runner #run #injured #fitness #moveoftheday #piriformisstretch #health #healyourbody #injuredlife #pirformis #yoga #stretch #ahh (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCGKNFl6q6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ptvqcibnzjnc

I was gonna start #running this week but I pulled my #pirformis muscle. Once you pull this specific muscle, it’s easily injured constantly. Since first hurting it I pulled this muscle twice. Ugh. Will be posting stretches to help w this condition....oh joy right? First up modified figure 4. . Sit forward on the edge of your chair and make sure your back is neutral, not arched. You should be sitting on your "sit bones" – two points you'll be able to feel on your buttocks – not on your tailbone. Center your rib cage over your hips. Roll your shoulders back so that your shoulder blades are tucked in and flowing straight down your back alongside your spine . Cross your right leg. To move into the seated figure four, plant your left foot solidly on the floor, then lift your right leg and bend it at the knee so it's crossed over your left leg. You want to place your right ankle on your left thigh, just above your knee. Flex your right foot and try to keep your knee and leg as flat as possible. You should feel a slight stretch in the muscles of your outer knee. Gently press down on your right knee with your right hand. . If you want to intensify the stretch in your glutes and outer thighs, you can do so by hinging your torso forward from the waist. Try to keep your back as flat and neutral as possible, and lower your shoulders away from your ears. This will help open your throat and allow you to maintain your breathing practice. Think about folding your chest or heart toward your thighs. You can rest your torso on your thighs if it's comfortable for you to fold that deeply. Don't go lean so far forward that you feel pain, however. . Repeat with the other leg. Lower your right foot to the floor, then lift your left foot and repeat the same movements. . #fitness #exercise #piriformisstretch #piriformissyndrome #injuredrunner #chronic #physicaleducation #stretch #yoga #healingexercise #oldpro #fit #fitfam #fitness #healing #healingexercises (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_4U-Ul4Lh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uu83olyhafom

The last two moves I use are more for hip opening but it helps my #piriformissyndrome . Runners stretch and one legged pigeon. It’s kinda hard to explain how to get into the pigeon one so I thought a video would be better to demonstrate. I’m doing better in my injury thank God, I tried running the other day. Wasn’t the best outcome but I’m grateful that I’m getting better. Hope this video helps you. . If not here’s a description for pigeon pose: Angle your right shin under your torso and bring your right foot to the front of your left knee, behind your left hand. The outside of your right shin should now rest on the floor. The further forward your right heel is, the deeper and more intense the pose will be. Keep your right foot flexed to help protect your knee. Slide your left leg back behind you. Straighten it and let the front of your thigh sit on the floor. Look behind you to make sure your left leg is extended straight behind you, not out to one side. Make sure your back thigh is rotating inward. Press all five toes of your back foot onto the mat. Lower the outside of your right buttock to the floor. Position your right heel so it is in front of your left hip. Your body will want to avoid putting weight on your right hip, especially if it is tight. Try to maintain equal weight in both hips. - description courtesy of #wikihow . . . . . #pirformis #piriformisstretch #recovery #pulledmuscle #stretch #injuredrunner #runner #run #onedayatatime #ketorunner (at Frederick Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bulub91Akiv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u1flwkzqi7o2
