Quite often, Hip Pain & Piriformis Syndrome is caused by excessive compression or strain on the tissue in or about the hip. This includes things like the sciatic nerve, deep hip muscles (including the piriformis), hip joint, labrum, and the glute tendons. The result is often pain, numbness, or tingling in the buttock, groin, hip, or leg.

Most people recommend stretching things out, mashing with a foam roller, or tennis ball, and doing deep hip openers or stretches like pigeon pose. All because things "feel" tight. In actuality, most of time, stretching things just makes these problems worse.

Stretching tissue or compressing it increases strain and lengthens tissue very temporarily, causing less blood supply and oxygen to get to the tissue. What most people don't realize is that there are likely positions throughout the day that make this problem worse. Positions that have become habits...

Like crossing your legs, standing with weight shifted onto one leg, or sleeping with the hip in a funky position (falling across body). These positions place strain and compression on tissues around the hip and can often continue to "spark" the fire or knick the scab.

Without correcting these positions, exercises may help, but often the pain will return. To create a more optimal healing environment for problems like piriformis syndrome, sciatic nerve pain, hip bursitis, hip impingement, or gluteal tendinopathy be sure to correct day2day habits (seen in video above) to create the most optimal healing environment.
