Thanks for the video Doc. Wouldn't the alignment and function of the sacroilliac joint determine whether you would like to lengthen the piriformis or not? I have had good results with Chiropractic care myself, but I do frequently see people trying to stretch muscles that are in a lengthened state.

@theericbeard Yes, that's right! The stretch can be used as a kind of screening. If the sciatica resolves after using the stretch, then we can assume the symptoms were due to a shortened piriformis. If they don't resolve, then something else is going on and should be checked out by a health care professional. My first choice would be, obviously, a chiropractor. Thanks for the comment!
