GLUTE / PIRIFORMIS - MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Channel: Intuit Fitness Training
Date: 02/04/2020

This clip shows one effective way to perform self-myofascial release on your Glutes and also your Piriformis muscles using a lacross ball.



If when performing this technique you find it to be too uncomfortable, consider following the same procedure but using a ball that is larger and softer than a lacrosse ball.  A foam roller is another option, though for some who have been practicing self-myofascial release for a long time it might not be precise enough. As with all MFR it's really important to be able to breathe through the sensation.  You'll gain more benefit from a slightly less aggressive approach practiced more regularly.  Be aware that constant never subsiding trigger points likely mean your training is improper for you, your body is out of balance, you're over-training, your hydration, nutrition and stress are less than optimal or perhaps the way you breathe in general is adding to the problem, to name a few.
