How to TIGHTEN a Painful Piriformis Muscle [3 Simple Steps]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
- Because most people feel tightness in their buttock/glute and leg when suffering from Piriformis Syndrome and/or sciatica- they default to stretching and trying to loosen up the area- by way of constant stretching, foam rolling, sitting on tennis balls and getting "hands on" treatment. This usually results in things hurting "so good" in the moment- with temporary relief of tightness that comes back minutes or hours later. And when the tightness returns, the cycle of stretching begins again.
It eventually becomes a negative feedback loop, where more pain yields more tightness which results in more stretching and more tightness...
In this video I share with you a simple 3 step process to help you reverse the effects of overstretching and reduce your piriformis pain. By following this process, you'll know exactly which exercises to avoid, what habits to change in your day to day life, and you'll also learn a process to determine if exercises that tighten or shorten or contract (strengthen) the piriformis muscle will be helpful for you. I demonstrate two (2) strengthening exercises you can try for yourself.

I have dealt with pain for so long and not one doctor had this idea! I'm so happy that you are in the "fixing" business!
@@deewood6219 glad I could help. Let me know if you have any questions or get stuck 👍
I don't think I've ever watched such a well explained video before!
Makes perfect sense in regard to shortening the muscle as opposed to lengthening it (which is what I was doing before) Going to give these a go. Thanks so much.
Charlie, WOW!!! The difference between you 5 years ago and now????? Dude! Today you is energetic, comfortable and confident. Well done. I’m glad I found you. 🥰
Dude. Criss cross apple sauce! So very factual. Thank you. 😘
Sorry. Still watching and omg!!!! I paid 400.00 for an inaccurate PT diagnosis (QL strain) in co-pays. And the day she mentioned pelvic lengthening and Bulgarian split squats, I was like NOPE
I love your yucky scores. Thank you for validating my pain and helping us!
Finished. Wish I could like this twice. lol.
I have tried numerous times to download your guide, no go..... Why??
Love your videos.

I suffered from hip joint pain. Tried everything, dr just gave cortisone and pain pills..
I discovered Dr Charlie and my oh my, everything got solved. I'm pain-free and doing yoga again. Thanks Dr C you are an amazing Dr!! ❤
@@almalouw7007 so glad we crossed paths! Enjoy yoga! Thanks for watching 👊🏼❤️
Loved the tips here! Just to make sure, just because your glutes are overstretched and maybe ‘weak’, we’re not saying the weakness is what’s causing the chronic pain right?
@@Nswin17384 correct. Good distinction. In step 3 of the process shown in this video- notice how I’m looking for an IMMEDIATE improvement or change in her yucky motion (figure 4 right). True changes in strength (a weak muscle becoming strong via hypertrophy) do not occur immediately. Again, the logic is as simple as… most people are doing yucky (hurt so good) stretches (lengthening) that don’t work long term. The exact opposite input would be to do safe YUMMY exercises that SHORTEN the tissue in the area to achieve the opposite result… something that WORKS. Now, this approach doesn’t work for everyone as it comes down to individual testing 👍 and doing detective work to determine what will work for you!
We don’t have the evidence to suggest that glute or core weakness is the cause of chronic back, butt, sciatica pain. Infact, we have quite the opposite, evidence which suggests it is NOT the cause.
Does this make sense?
Definitely helpful! I was doing bridges and clamshells but not holding it. Will do holds now as well as widening my stance when doing dishes. Thanks Doc as well as flexible Heather!😂😊
@@larkhughes9740 they may or may not be right for you as you’d need to test. But remember by doing bridges and clamshells you’re potentially mixing 3 inputs together… clamshell right + clamshell left + bridge. Test to find which ONE (if any) are valuable for you 👍
Got it?
Please make a video on pudendal neuralgia.

@@loveandservehumanity5537 thanks for watching! 👊🏼
My pain increases when I sit, It increases after any sexual activity (having sex or masturbating), It can come to the front of my right hip and in the right buttock as well... Mainly the pain originates from the right lower back ... Lying down helps. Can this be Piriformis Syndrome? Please help .... Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Also, I got all the tests as Yucky on High
