Hi, Tony! This is Kristine from Exercises for Injuries. Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. One common stretching mistake is when you overstretch and incorrectly shake your body. When you’re in a stretch position, your muscles should be relaxed. This is where breathing becomes important. Not only does breathing help to relax into the stretch, but it also helps you get the most out of your stretching routine. Proper breathing while stretching increases circulation, relaxes the body, and helps get rid of lactic acid build-up. We hope this helps. Please let us know should you need further assistance. We’ll be glad to assist. We wish you well. Thank you.
Thanks Mary! We have a lot of videos on our channel that may also help you. Feel free to watch and visit our channel: ua-cam.com/users/ExercisesForInjuries Keep safe and take care!
Can years of cycling (hard seat) bring about this ailment? Or is it more from sitting down long hours at the office? It just appeared, and now it comes and goes, but I don't really know the cause. I have however changed my life-style because of the pain I get. Video looks helpful, I promise to give it a try. Is ice good for this kind of inflammation? Thanks for your informative video.

Causes of pain in the buttocks range from temporary annoyances, such as bursitis, bruising, piriformis syndrome, muscle strain, and shingles, to more serious diseases with long-term consequences, such as cancer, arthritis of the sacroiliac joints, and herniated disc with sciatica. Runners, rowers and cyclists like you are the most at risk for piriformis syndrome.

Hello @conniesaunders7619 This is Sam from the Healthcare Specialist Team. Thank you for checking out our video, I'm more than happy to provide more information regarding this. The piriformis muscle for a better understanding of your condition. Your piriformis is positioned immediately adjacent to the sciatic nerve, a very thick nerve that runs from the base of your spine along your glute muscles and down the back of your legs, providing the nerve signals that allow all of the muscles on the back side of your lower body to fire when needed. When the piriformis muscle is irritated, the sciatic nerve can get irritated too. In around fifteen percent of people, the sciatic nerve passes through the piriformis, which, according to some researchers, leaves these individuals more susceptible to piriformis syndrome. The piriformis syndrome can irritate the sciatic nerve so it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and shooting or stabbing sensations in the buttocks and hips, and sometimes in the thighs and legs. You may continue doing the exercises demonstrated above and remember to do these within a pain-free range, once you felt discomfort immediately stop and take a rest. If your pain didn't subside with these remedies then we suggest that you have it checked by your doctor so they can assess and diagnose the root cause of your pain. A diagnosis can also help us determine which treatment would be best for you. Currently, we have a program that targets your piriformis muscle. Let me recommend to you the Piriformis Syndrome Solved. This program can help address the symptoms caused by piriformis syndrome. It offers 11 different approaches to reducing and eliminating buttock pain, piriformis syndrome, and sciatica.
