I keep coming back every day to watch their videos, always hopeful that this is time they're going to reveal how to fix a broken heart.
Aw! Hope yours isn’t broken. Try thinking about what you’re grateful for. Being alive is one gift. As you grow stronger in being able to do that the broken heart starts to feel better.
Hahaha!!!
Sending u all the luv and healing vibes😇
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Awww. It's not really broken. Enjoy a hug right now from the sun, it's warmth and it's golden light. Always there.
I stand by a previous comment I made on a similar video by B and B that often it is not a tight piriformis that is causing the problem, but a weak one, inflamed through being overworked. This was my experience. The more I stretched the muscle, the worse it became. When I started doing clam exercises and the like with an exercise band to strengthen the piriformis, the pain gradually went away.
That’s so good to know!
Hi @@Mr._Fit_Atheist great point!! So true! I say that about massage therapists. We are all different. People may need something/someone different than my massage. Have a great week!
Thanks Native Albion. I have bad pain sciatica as well with a sore piriformis not a tight one. So. I do these stretches and still hurts. Need to strengthen. Similarly
massage-gun or a foam roller? Will it work or make it worse ..on a sore piriformis
@@refatrabadi6656 I was following the advice of physiotherapists and doing lots of stretches, using the foam roller and using a massage gun, but it provided no remedy. The piriformis area remained very tender and I kept getting bouts of sciatica down my right leg.
I watched a YT video provided by a gym instructor and he said many people with piriformis issues should strengthen rather than stretch the muscle. I then replaced the stretching with various clam exercises and slowly, as my lateral rotator muscles got stronger, the pain went away.
I do a fair amount of cycling, indoor and out, and it is possible that created a muscle imbalance somewhere along the way, exposing a weak piriformis.
Try the clam exercises, first without resistance bands, then with them. I hope they work for you.
@@dpstrial I appreciate you very much!!!
Thank you for your explanations, humor, and so many good exercises to help manage pain!
Great advice as always guys, I use your methods all the time. Thank you 🙏🏿
Bob n Bob do more than provide exercise and healing advices. They are the easiest n most informative physical therapists to follow! I watch the ones that help relieve my knee pain everyday. Great guys! God bless them for sharing so much n helping us to heal..
You are great guys and t is wonderful to have exercises to help too. Unfortunately my back is bad and my hip is bad too. However, with some of these exercises, I am beginning to be able to do things I haven't been able to for quite a while.
You guys are the best! I have been following you for years. Thank you for all the help!
Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously.
Watched and performed the exercises! Success! Thank you so much!
Thank you Bob and Brad! You have helped me several times to become pain free and healed my vertigo too! You are a God send!
Thank you BOB Brad You have saved me , I now live mostly pain free.
wow! I tried the relaxing posistion for 90 seconds (which by the way seemed like i was laying still FOR A LOOONG time but it was just 90 seconds lol) i got up and walked and LO and BEHOLD!!! IT REALLY GAVER ME RELIEF!!! God Bless yall both. Thank you sirs. Have a great day!
These guys are the best. They deserve an award. And they are so adorable. You just know they’re great guys to work for and even great dads.
Thank you for the kinds words!
Always helpful and informative- thank you! 😊
What a brilliant pair. Thank you guys.
Bob and Brad are cool 👍
Thank you for helping so many people 🙏
I am so grateful for the knowledge that you guys have gave me about this pain in my left hip that started a few weeks ago. Thanks for your video.
Is it gone now?
These guys are great! You guy's are great! Thank you for these videos, I have learned the technical information but this is such a nice easy format that is easier to understand then some heavier shows !
Thank you,love your informative videos and conversational style 👍
Thanks guys, looks like it's piriformis for me, been taking lots of Tylenol and very sore for the last few days. I tried your diagnostics and will keep up with the exercises, much better than wrecking my liver with acetaminophen every day. Much respect for physiotherapists, they have helped me before I found you fellows, what the doctor thought was a collapsed disk turned out to be a torn groin tendon. Again, many thanks!
Thanks Bob and Brad for all your help. I know I can always count on you to help me out. I knew I was having trouble with my right leg and then one night when I was bowling I felt something go right in the bottom of my butt. Wow did it hurt. So now I'm using your message gun which I love and I also looked up your piriformis exercises which I am doing. I really feel this muscle is too tight because sometimes if I bend forward I feel it down to my toes. I'm doing alot of your exercises where I don't have to go on my knees (knee replacement makes that a no no for me. I just want to say, "thank you" for all your wonderfully informative videos. 👍
Such great exercises and good stretch for my back thank you so very much
I really appreciate your explanations of what is going on. You guys are great.
Excellent information!!
As a person who is coming up on 58 and cycles a lot but also drives a lot for my business I run into pififormis/sciatica issues often. Love your videos. Would you have info on the massage gun you’re using? Thanks
Thank you Bob n Brad You guys make me think the mechanics ofvthe body
Just makes more sense
This is another good video. I have to be careful with some of these suggestions because I have spine fusion and rods and screws in upper lumbar/lower thoracic
Thanks for the Information.
Love your videos, they always help me
great fan of your informatie video, i have been suffering form this hip pain almost 2 years, and just got to know what it is,,,i get this pain when i am driving over 30 min, and also have lower back pain might be related to piriformis ,,,but lets see how these drills go,,,,,
I love these. I also need some help with stretching the muscles in my lower leg. Mainly the front. Recovering from an auto accident.
Great video, going to try this.
I got the C2 Mini Massage Gun from y’all. I am satisfied with it. The pain from the Pirifomis really hurts in the morning when I get up. The pain is on the hip bone, it’s hard to walk. I have to apply pressure to the front of the hip bone to get to the living room. I immediately get my message gun. Then I do stretches. Suggestions would be appreciated. I watch your programs everyday. I tell all my friends and family about your website. Thanks Bob and Brad!
The information here is priceless. Figure 4 stretches have 1000% cured my piriformis syndrome butt pains. I get it from poor sitting posture ergonomics, and insufficient lumbar support. To a much lesser degree poor sleeping ergonomics can make it worse. Either inflames my piriformis and it constricts down onto the nerve causing butt pain. Stretching the muscle 2x a day (morning and evening) alleviates the inflamation and constriction every time. I also take advil when the pain is really bad. Thanks a million B & B!!!
I’m a stroke survivor and as with any such person, spasticity got to me real bad. Your videos have been of great help lately. Cannot thank you enough
I was just refreshing on exercises I was doing at physio therapy. Thanks. My situation is a little more complicated, but those are the exercises prescribed. The extensions in the beginning are what I do when my back goes out. I am not suppose to do it for my herniated disc. I will be watching more of your videos. Those muscles tighten up only when I walk or stand for any length of time.
I feel the same any improve
Bob and Brad this fixed my periformis almost instantly. 15 minutes on the massage gun and 90% of the pain, stiffness and lack of movement went away. Thanks a million.
Thank you for this video, the pain you have explained I’ve been suffering from it on my left side for years and no doctor has been able to find out. Thank you for giving me some stretches to ease my pain and an incling to what I might have now I can go back to the doctor and ask for tests for what you have said.
When I sit up straight for to long my hip and leg hurts, and have to lie down to relieve the pain
Did you follow up with your dr what did they say
I love this dou, very informative and entertaining to watch 😊🇵🇭
this is super helpful to me. and the ending
Thank you immensely.
Thank you B and B!! Very nice and helpful videos!.
quick question
I had a disc herniation at L4/ L5 years ago
I'm 65 now! Always been excersiseing but with covid I'm doing at home videos and I'm doing moderate
I noticed mild foot drop like difficulty doing a dorsiflexion on the injured side! Actually it was always there no matter what I do but lately I'm getting concerned
MRI shows no new findings!!
Any recommendations and what might I be missing here?
Am I overexcersising or is it the opposite way round??
I gave myself Chronic Piraformis syndrome and Gluteus amnesia through a repetitive stress injury it was so bad I could not walk without severe pain on standing or walking .Could not step up a kerbstone or climb stairs yet if I could get to the car I could sit and have no pain and my legs worked fine .When on the floor my legs would not obey commands from my brain to move would have to move them physically and haul myself up by my arms . That was early 2020 and spent 6/7 months in a chair one thing that did help I got a Zimmer frame so I could support my weight on my arms and walk .has taken since then to walk again but still have difficulty climbing stairs .What was difficult was retraining my brain to immediately compensate for any imbalance when standing .
You are great nice gentlemen, many people have this kind of problems ,thank you and have a great day.❤
My physio diagnosed right hip pain but have sciatica in the left leg albeit neuropathy now , they won’t operate so it’s a bit of problem
But thanks for your videos they are so good !
Dang, youd think Id learn my lesson. Hundreds of $'s spent going to multiple chiropractors....could have just come to your you tube channel just as I did when I had my shoulder pain. You 2 are invatuable!!!! Thank you!!! You are so kind to share this info on how we can heal ourselves with stretches!!! 👏🥰
THIS!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Such great advice! Had shoulder surgery 8 months ago but still not right - very slow going despite 3+ months of PT. Finally broke down and just bought the booyah stick. Looking forward to using for these exercises, and more. Thanks again Bob and Brad for your excellent and much needed advice.
Me too, on the shoulder surgery.
@@leahg3926 prolly gonna just have to give it up
Thanks for your fabulous site!!
Have a scheduled MRI friday and wondered if you can give good advice about the procedure that addresses stabilizing L3 vertebra with injection of concrete? Ir reccomend?
ever since I had a total hip replacement and then 4 years later a revision, I have had this pain. This exercise helps me short time, I cant hardly stand this pain anylonger. I will continue to do these exercises and hope it will adventually go away.
that 4 shape stretch is helping me… 7 months after my 3rd baby and im only 25 but i’ve been having just insane lower back and hip pain… watched the video how to tell muscle vs joint vs nerve pain, found it’s probably joint and muscle. this baby was huge and came out posterior with epidural she just would not turn… messed me up bad in the long term but ill be healing now with these stretches
I love how Bob always corrects Brad when he says ‘lay down’ 😅😅😅 My mum always corrected our grammar and now I’m so sensitive to every mistake!!
I have been doing the hip exercises you two have demonstrated and I am feeling much better. Thanks!
that piriformis hurts like a beast but those simple moves of yours really offer quick relief. This is natures way of telling me I need to pay attention to these stretches forever. I used to do all kinds of stretching yoga tai chi etc but now that I'm old, and I need to stretch I stopped doing it! Wake up Call!!
Great videos guys, I see you mention massage guns, I have been considering getting one for a while but undecided which one to get as prices range a lot. What ones would you recommend?
Came across this today Thank-you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks to B & B! The three exercises for the periformis pain I'm having is working very well!
Are you feeling more relief from months ago?
@@wmpetroff2307 do these exercises work also with hip dysplasia??
@@godismyall42me Ms Mary I do not know about the hip d. I can say at times my hip complained. Presently I am walking around much easier and longer ( time span on my feet 30 minutes) . Have you looke up HipD exercises?
What is your recommendation if the lower back is hurting from the tests?
Your shoulder diagnoses and exercises are also excellent, I picked up a lot of damage in 73 years it seems.
THANKS

You guys are Amazing! Thank you!
Thank you too!
Bob
Thank you B&B
I suffer from chronic glute tightness, from work related, intense lifting. As a result, my lower back sometimes fails with tightening of the back muscles. Using your instructions I’ve narrowed it down to the piriformis. I’m curious, what is the purpose of the piriformis?
I’m eternally grateful. I’m a professional drummer and have miss diagnosed my piriformis syndrome for months. This video brings clarity and relief to something that is threatening my career. I’m buying the massage gun today. Thanks guys.
Hi Russ, may I ask you if the massage gun worked for you? I also have chronic piriformis (since March) and the pain is not going away despite all the stretching and strengthening exercises i have been told to do.
You guys are great! My physical therapist wasn't sure what my problem was.... said I was an enigma (??!!) Yikes. Thanks so much for all your insights that you share with us! I can't believe I found the most famous PT's on the planet - wow, what luck. Pls. send roses....I don't have a valentine:(
I have compression fractures in l1 and l2 caused from an auto accident. The radiating pain is exactly what you are describing. Are these exercises life long? The discomfort never really goes away. It has been almost 6 months
thanks bob and brad ! love your videos
Thank you for a good lesson
So nice of you!
Bob
Great info. Really appreciate the insight. Would it be possible to have the exercises listed in the description for reference?
I will add that to our to do list suggestions!! Thank you!
You guys are the greatest 💖
LOVE your way!
Thanks guys
Great great video 👍
Which massage gun do you recommend ? You guys are awesome
Are Brads back strengthening ball/wall exercises okay for osteoporosis?
You two are the best!
Another dog that helped cure my broken heart
My right hip feels much better after doing 2 of your stretches!🎉🎈✨🎇 Thank you soo much!😉
for how long were you performing them till they felt better?
Same here! I had used the massage gun previously but the stretch was a huge impact.
Can ya fix me broken English.? ;)
Love you two. It's weird how you chaps always release a video which is spot on to issues I have.
I was told I had nods and I have pain in my hip area. I was told to rest and drink plenty of water. Will this help me?
Thanks!
Could you talk about arm pain. While repairing a hole on my ceiling months ago, I hurt what seems like is my elbow or around it. I could not let my arm hung normally for some weeks. When I walk if I let my arm hung, it really feels painful, so I have to put my arm inside a pocket while walking. Could you please explain what could be the reason? Thanks for explaining about the Piriformis, how often and how many times, should I do the exercise? Thanks.
Thank god for these guys. Piriformis pain sucks when you want to squat and leg press 😕.
or deadlift :( 0 hamstring leverage and they're always so tight!
Bob and Brad, will you do RAIL /PAIL video on this?
thanks so much!!! ive been having piriformis issues & your video explained things so well. Now i need a massage gun haha
How can I increase range of motion? I can’t get my foot up on my knee in the figure 4. Appreciate a video on increasing ROM. Thank you for your great videos.
Can you afford to go to a chiropractor to be checked. I could not do the figure 4 while standing. So, I'm standing in the shower trying to lift my left foot up into my right knee so I can wash my foot. Could not lift it even halfway. I have piriformes problem in the left hip. Physical therapy didn't help. Chiropractor pushed down on the left pubic bone (the pubic bone is not connected in the front) to move it back into alignment. She said it was a fairly common problem. I can now lift my leg onto my knee when sitting or lying down. A weak piriformes in that leg keeps me from lifting my leg all the way when standing but I can almost do it..
How to rule out vertebral arthrosis, or does that show the same way intervertebral discs problems would? (Regarding the ways shown to check if the issues stem from the lower back or the piriformis?
So timely! I’m suffering from this right now.
This is very helpful. Question: when you're demonstrating your head is always lifted. Is that on purpose? Should I aim to not lie flat?
They're helpful and for some reason funny.😺
Hi Guys! Do you recommend a certain chair pad for an office chair?
Thanks you❤
When I did these exercises under a Physical Therapist care my knee flared up??? My sacrum was the original issue and it did improve, my knee never hurt before and 3 months later it still hurts
OMG thank you!
This helped me a lot, I was looking for the exercises. I can only sleep well with my left leg pulled up while laying on my stomach.😢
Question - doing the extension test, it doesn't trigger the nerve symptoms down the leg, but I feel a lot of discomfort in my hip flexor, in the front, high up, almost in the groin.
Fantastic
My chiropractor has me doing squats as well to maintain the strength of hip and thighs. I have the gun and the foam roller and do strengthening of hip muscles in all directions daily. Yes, my piriformis is the problem and thanks for the tips guys.
Peter, where did you get the "gun"?
@@heleneg525 it's called a Toloco massage gun and it's great to use. Order online and I got mine from Amazon at about 84 bucks. Give it a try and let me know how you feel Helene.
@@petertarsio7168 Thank you.
