Piriformis Syndrome Treatment- STOP Tennis Ball u0026 Foam Rolling! (Try This Instead)

Follow
Dr. Charlie Johnson, PT

Everyday I work with people who are dealing with a pain in the butt.

It could be due to piriformis syndrome, a herniated disc, sciatica, hip arthritis, labral tear, or some other issue...

Either way, the natural tendency is to massage, dig, and pull on the painful area. After all, it feels so darn tight!

I'd guess that at least 75% of people I talk with these issues have tried piriformis massage or piriformis release using a tennis ball (or some other object/massage gun)

The problem is this...

Imagine a cut on the back of your knuckle that's trying to heal. But as soon as it starts to scab over, you bend your knuckle and pick the scab.

What are the chances it will heal?

Not good.

Same things happens when people try to treat piriformis syndrome or some other cause of glute pain by using tennis ball massage.

It hurts so good in the moment, but it still hurts!

And can actually prevent things from healing.

Another thing. Most people have no system for treatment (including most healthcare professionals think PT's, ortho docs, chiros, massage therapists)

Instead they randomly treat the "whole body" and hope the person feels better at the end.

Instead, follow the process in the video. It can be applied to any form of treatment you receive.

So, before you try piriformis syndrome massage techniques you'll want to watch this video.

And you'll definitely want to watch it if you've been rolling on a tennis ball or foam rolling the piriformis.
