Thank you for this video.as a veteran massage therapist for 10 years, I find this refreshing to see. I also would recommend manipulating through what MT's call neauromuscular re-education, on the iscial tuberosity frontal attachments near the pubic bone. Remember Newton's Law: with every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means any gluteal/ischial tuberosity treatment done on the posterior side, MUST be treated on the anterior side as well.

Thanks....great exercise.

I like the technique for Piriformis but isn't there a way to modify the body mechanics to really make sure obturator externus is included? I guess it's not super important if your just working on piriformis etc. but it'd sure be handy!

The position is aweome. Good job Erik. I loved the technique.

btw, some people have it from mechanical issues (rotated pelvis in my case) and it makes it borderline impossible to truly get rid of, you can calm it a little bit but thats it.

When you are inflicted with something that is affecting your everyday life to the point where walking more than 15 minutes flares you up you are very vulnerable. Yes it is a last resort option and the success rate has not been high, you get to the point where you would do anything for your life back.

@TheNIFTY5150 Why do you want to operate the piriformis? Operations build up scar tissue and sometimes small superficial nervs are cut and you get a numb section on your skin which may stay for lifetime. I wouldn't risk that.
