GREAT thansk

[maximilliankolb]

dang thanks alot for that Joe! Hopefully it will help alleviate some of the pain I get due to my herniated disk!

[awepro]

it's weird i love the muscle pain that comes with trigger points, especially in my piriformis. I think it's called the "feel-good pain"

[bluebell1166]

This exercise is causing sciatic tingling due to pressure on the nerve,should I stop doing it?

[jCaesar88]

I can barely put my leg over the other one. had to straighten it a lot more.

Got anything for that?

[gatraw]

I cannot do that last one at all

[handles222]

it looks like hes scratching his ass

I went out and got a lacross ball to try this for the first time tonight. Wow thank you, it helped alot with my lower back pain, which i dont think has been diagnosed right. Im gonna do this everynight from now on!

[darkbarguitar]

Are you doing this because you have (or had) sciatica or nerve impingement from piriformus like I do, or just because of general tightness and it feels good?

[gustavotriqui]

I love Joe's pain face when he starts rolling over the ball :)

No Pain, No Gain.

Thanks, I have a problem with Piriformis pain and really want to sort it out. I'm going to try this.

[Andysps]

Piriformis can sometimes be confused and seem like disc problems . Make sure you check this out if the pain feels more like its in your butt than your back.

[nowayjozaay]

Im going to try this~!

i think you can also use the foam roller also for this but that ball will really hit spots good.

[joedefranco]

Yes, a foam roller works well...but a tennis or lax ball works even better because they're smaller so you can really focus on specific spots that are tender.
