Figure 4 Piriformis Stretch – Hip Mobility

 

In this video, I demonstrate a couple of simple techniques to stretch the often troublesome piriformis muscle of the hip.

Piriformis Syndrome can manifest itself in a number of ways, from buttock pain that many runners mistake for gluteal tightnes, to sciatica type symptoms. It’s important to make sure that while you can use exercises like the stretches in this video to relieve acute symptoms, you’re also working on the root causes of the problem… More on this in the video I made on Piriformis Syndrome earlier this year: Piriformis Syndrome Exercises & Info for Runners.

As ever, do let me know how you get on with this one, and feel free to ask any question in the comments below
