Stretching the Piriformis with a Lacrosse Ball
Channel: EvolveChiropractic
Date: 12/03/2021

The piriformis is a muscle that runs beneath your glutes on each side of the body. When it is tense, it can cause a lot of pain, including a sciatica-like pain running all the way down from your glutes to your feet.

This exercise can be completed either laying on the ground or against a wall - the video demonstrates both techniques.

Two important reminders: We only want to go to a 4 or 5 out of 10 on the pain scale with these stretches. If you're making strained faces, back off. Also, to prevent bruising, no single point should be stretched for more than 2 minutes at a time.
