How To Assess Piriformis Muscle Length | Technique Peek Series

In this Technique Peek Series video, Rob Shapiro, DPT, COMT, NKT, dives deep into muscle length testing, tackling the often-tricky piriformis muscle.
Forget traditional methods that can miss the mark! Rob unveils his unique approach, specifically designed for assessing the piriformis with the leg below 60 degrees. This strategic positioning isolates the muscle's true function as an abductor and external rotator, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of tightness. Join Rob as he guides you through the test on a volunteer, emphasizing proper form, pelvic stabilization, and key interpretation points. Learn to differentiate between a "springy" and a "blocky" feel, uncovering valuable clues about muscle function and potential movement limitations. Whether you're a movement professional or simply curious about your own body, this video equips you with the knowledge to confidently assess muscle length and optimize your performance.
