this channel is saving me thousands in chiropractic bills. im eternally greatful

I've been suffering from sciatic pain since i was 15. I'm 29 . I freaking cried when I started to feel relief. I still have alot of therapy left. Eternally grateful. Thank you.

I had this for a long time. Excruciating pain every time I walked. I eventually sorted it out by riding a bike and doing trap bar squats, but it was a very low point in my life. Glad I'm done with it.

I have something similar brought on by a traffic accident. Docs here have no answers. This channel is teaching me so much.👍

I have it right now in my right butt cheek and sciatic pain that goes down my leg… It sucks lol - I’m 36 and this stems from my powerlifting days.. Take it easy guys, there is modern medicine and stretching, but the pain hasn’t truly left over the last 6 years. I have been able to get back to 80-90% where I was but it’s never fully healed. Just be careful and take care of your body.

For a month my hip left like it was on fire, glute exercises have been helping. When it first started, I couldn't walk for 3 days

I’ve derived the most utility out of your videos. My body thanks you!!

What helped was doing physical therapy, I went to the doctor, and he referred me to a PT. For the pain of piriformis syndrome and sciatica symptoms, I took naproxen (it was prescribed to me by my Doc) The pain was so horrible it woke me up every 20 minutes at night. Not getting enough sleep also makes you feel more pain. Make sure not to take to many pain relive pills because it hurts your internal organs in a long run. Please talk to your Doctor! The Heating Pad helped so much. I did it for up to 8 hours a day. The best exercise will be either doing clam shells, or pirifomsis stretch! For the Scitica Nerve it will be Nerve Glides. I highly recommend using a tennis ball and doing some soft tissue work around the buttock pain before exercising. Again, going to the PT was a great choice. It took me 3 whole month! Currently it does still feel a little tender but I can go back to work! It was really tough.

A bartender told me about these. It's a local MMA bar and the bartenders are also fighters. But he knew exactly which muscle this was and what was causing my issue. Thanks to J C I now know what to look for when doing research about my pain. Thanks to these videos for showing how the exercises are done.

Great information! That's the most diagnostic video I've seen for this as well as giving the associated therapies. Perhaps you should hash tag sciatica or mention sciatica in the title somewhere, because that's where I started my search. I don't believe most people will search and find the name of the muscle. Most people who are in the various professions that treat this really want to bang the cash register and kick you out the door.

I am so impressed by not only this infotainment, but by the times... How absolutely informative and helpful!

I have just tested this rotation and it's like someone blind being able to see for the first time. This is such amazing and useful information. Now all I have to do is strengthen my glute due to a stretched muscle. Thank you so much as this is life saving information. I wish you lots of wealth.

I ve been struggling with this exact pain since October. I am so glad to have come across this video, hopefully I can remedy the situation and be able to squat heavy again

I couldn't work out what mine was , I've tried professional help and done massage , stretches and exercises ... But this video fixed it . Brilliant help 👍👍👍

Finally after 9 years. An answer!!

I did all the things for my issue. Strengthen the gluts so the can take the strain the piriformis is taking. Sleep on a hard surface. I moved to a floor set up. Stretch...but don't over stretch. Get some deep tissue massage work done. Healing takes constancy and intention.

I appreciate you so much for this video… I’m apparently dealing with short-term piriformis syndrome

Fortunately, I've never had piriformis syndrome. But seeing the anatomy of and around this muscle and knowing how to treat it, informs me on how it develops and what I can do to keep from developing it. Many thanks!

OMG it worked like magic, this is god send. Thank you very much for this video, I felt IMMEDIATE relief. I just need to do everyday to get rid of the pain permanently. 👍😍👍👍

You have no idea this is the worse pain in my life.

I guess you can say that was a pain in the ass. 🤔

I just did this and had instant relief. Thank you so much

Never roll a ball on the periformis muscle. That will make it worse. Severely worse.

I hope there is a LONG video for this. I'm suffering from this issue right now and need a plan to strengthen this area.

Did you know some people's piriformis actually forms around the sciatic nerve, so everytime it contracts it causes extreme pain?

I have this in my right glute, started after a heavy hack squat session. My form was good but I probably made a mistake on bracing because I was tired. I don't really feel a "painful" pain, it's just something that is there. The pain only aggravates when I actually try to do a squat (I'm 20 btw)

Wow, struggeling for the last few weeks to see what could cause this problem of mine, then this guy solves it within less than a minute.

This information helps me a lot. Thank you so much.

VERY HELPFUL!! been struggling for weeks to figure out what's been going on. I do yoga. Just found your videos about the side plank clam shell and the dns star ( which I haven't tried yet ) still working on the side plank clam shell. It's incredible how much I feel my obliques and get ahold of my muffin top on my weak side to address the horrible symmetry I have. Yoga just doesn't do enough. Finding this out may have saved me tons of money down the road. How many sets and reps? I actually have this resistance bands called Gritin. I use the grey medium. And have used the 3x extra heavy for squatting. But how many reps and sets. And I do track workouts. Like 200m 10x. Jog one full lap. Plyometrics. Bike riding 1 hour each day I workout 3-4 times a week

Great short. Keep it up

props to the guys for having himself completely skinned as well as having some muscles removed for this video 🙌🙏

I really like this guy.

I have real issues with the idea of putting direct pressure on already irritated tissue, especially in close proximity to major nerves. Makes me wonder if these clients even have actual Piriformis syndrome in the first place.

to the point, thats what I like to see!

Perfect. I will pick up a rubber ball and resistance band from this

both sides are always sore but also very flexible. I roll it with a tennis ball all the time, but it only provides temporary relief. will have to try the strength exercises he said since flexibility is not the problem

That’s me!!!!! That’s what I’ve been living with for 13 years!!

Bro aint no way im able to do these exercises even 4 months after my injury. Imma need to see a dr

How did you know I needed this

This channel has helped me out so much. I recommend any athlete or in my case bodybuilder check him out.

Omg you just win a new subscriber thanks

Thank you! It’s weird because I got it when I stopped consistently exercising for a few weeks

In my issue, i feel pain when doing squat or RDLs for almot 5 months now. I'll do this later i hope it will relieve the pain.

What if the pain is in the upper butt and lumbodorsal fascia? Like 2 fingers above where the butt line begins. Where the lower back stops and begins the upper part of the butt. What could it be?

This is exactly what am going through

It was really bad but got better by squats and stretches

I got this from having a pretty bad hip flexor strain on my left side. Had to work on the bad hip and walk 10+miles a day.. this led to my right piriformis getting this compensatory injury. Finally a month later my hip has healed and now I just gotta fix this.

I had this for. Seven years....lately I've been feeling better

just suddenly started experiencing this a cpl wks now after doing leg cable kick backs and every week it's going further down my leg. now pain behind, knee, calf and ankle

Hi ! I have pain when I squat or deadlift heavy (in relation to my strength) on the right side of my lower back, and it extends to my right ass cheek too. I can relieve the pain by stretching my right glute but I don't really know what this is or what causes it (form is good, from videos I shot). Can you help me or redirect me to the right video ? Is it this one ?

I think I have this but it hurts when I'm not squatting. Standing in the shower or sitting in a chair the wrong way hurts.

I’ve been suffering from this for 1 year now

Please do one on PIN entrapment in the inner forearm/elbow

This is what I have!!! Thank you

Thank you!!!❤

everything always leads back to that one exercise i despise... the clamshell 🤣

My pain goes down to my left outer ankle ( tingly and aching) my “bum” hurts so badly 😢 I’m going to try these! When I wake up- the pain is worst. ( this has been happening for 3 weeks now)

Thank you!

Past 1 1/2 year now

Just what my but needed.

Because of a short leg and not having the proper Footwear I have a lot of muscle at your feet that I'm trying to get out of. This is happening to me I get the shooting pains all the way down in my calf and a real sore spot deep in the glute. Life is misery almost 2 years now

Yes, my pain side is waaaaaaaay more flexible than my pain free side i thought it was weird no i know

The clam shells cause pain deep between my adductor and hamstring up by my glute,

Dealing with this currently! Not fun!!

I'm certain I have this. Weakness one. I'v started running and using cross trainer to see if that works.. it does

I’m not sure if mine’s a disc bulge or a piriformis syndrome, I feel a tingling sensation in the lower back and around the glutes, sometimes its also around the quads. They’re not painful either, I can walk normally, but it hurts when I bend forward like when I pick up stuff. I also think I’ve gotten this from a bad squat or a bad sumo deadlift.

Nice ❤ information

Thankyou sir

Great content. I have a question. If you have ‘long syndrome’ how would that contribute to causing irritation to the sciatic nerve, and in turn, how would strengthening the piriformis assist with alleviating symptoms?

Can this cause your hip to click as well? I think I might have this issue. Whenever I walk a certain distance I have to move my hips to click just above the periformis. I’m only 30 years old and had this issue for about 2 years now.

Perhaps you could talk more slowly and describe these movements in more detail. You could make a 10 or 20 minute video out of these things you fly through in this video

Isn't the ball just putting more pressure on / compressing the sciatic nerve?

Full video link plz

like your videos but I can hardly hear it with my volume up all the way.

I've been having sciatic nerve issues with some pain and thinking I had a herniated disc. Some stretching gave relief but every day is different then the others. I thought trying to focus on the piriformis. Stretching it somewhat helps. I dug my fingers in to the piriformis and messaged it. For 2 days there's no sciatic discomfort. Are conventional piriformis stretches not really stretching it? I'm beginning to think so..

Can you do tmj relief exercises please

Can this cause low back tightness and pain? I just got told I have no disc problems from an mri and doc was thinking it was Piriformis syndrome 🙏

I did the last exercise and it's gone (for now :( )

Sciatic or Piriformis issue? Try DRY NEEDLING with electric stimulation. Please thumbs up, if it helps you, so others know.

The video didn't make it clear which hip was the painful hip and which one wasn't

What if I have equal pain on both sides and it's causing me problem with bending foward? I literally can bend more than 15 degrees foward without feeling tense and stuck and glute pain.

And if you have si joint dysfunction, woukd you still recommended doing thedr hip capsule stretches or could it make the si joint hypermobile dysfunction worse?

Pain in both sides...

But when I stretch it hurts more… I did the test and have way less mobility on my injured side, but stretching really hurts

What if I have no pain but a pulsing sensation? Please help.

I'm just as flexible in both hips, internally a externally and don't know why I'm getting this pain. I have been squatting over 10 years so I don't understand why I would have glute weakness... any ideas?

Hey doctor, I had something like a piriformis or sciatica issue for 4 months I tried everything... But stretches would be so painful even though I did it for 2 months but then I decided to get injections or last result surgery as they are saying there is something showing in he mri.... I've never had a back issue it's always been my butt then down the right side of my leg to my calf but miraculously it has been gone for more than 1 week would I still go ahead with the injections they still havent called for my appointment it takes weeks I hear thanks

Have you got any tips for a sharp pinch at the rhomboid when lifting an arm up vertically?

What is it you turn foot inwards and foot rotation 90 degrees up. That's the pain I'm getting. Not the other direction. Man it hurts bad. Even locks up when I stand and out leg straight or walk it will just stop me from walking at times for a few seconds.

So is it possible to build muscle in the legs and glutes after recovering from sciatica? Or is this an on going thing that changes your life😑I’m sorry if that sounds stupid but I’m just now experiencing these nerve pains for the first time and I’m really upset. I just started trying to build muscle out of being body conscious lol.

What if I have sciatic pain on both sides? One side hurts first but then later I experience it on both sides.

Is the plank with clam shell for long piriformis done with affected side up or to the floor?

What if I have pain on both sides

This is currently killing me, but idk if mine is long or short yet

I- OVER- LOVE -THIS -CHANNEL !!!

Somebody in the comments mentioned 'a pain in the ass'. You have no idea.

It's been 6mnths this has not resolved ,,low quality of life and quit travel because of this ,someone help me 🤕

Can there be a connection between this and tension (and soreness) in the soleus muscle?

Help me i have 2 shoulders that are messed up, left one is in constant pain and cracks with any movement and can get locked up and i have to undo the movement that locked the arm to fix it, and my right shoulder has a point where it will physically jump a section in my muscles where its idk but i can't make a full rotation with it and when i hit that jump in my mobility its painful as hell, and because of the left shoulder being out of place its effecting my neck now and is pinching nerves on the top of my spine and because of the pinching in my spine the bottom of my spine is being pinched and my hips are being effected by the lower spine and making them have serious pressure all the time so i have to crack my back but by cracking my back its hurting my spine which made the middle of my spine extremely weak i can't lift a empty plate without feeling seriously crushing in the middle of my spine and it hurts so much, i am 17 years old this shouldn't be happening to me yet this is a cry for help doctors don't know what is wrong with me a chiropractor made everything worse and all i hear from everyone is we can't help you, someone who has any possible idea or know anyone who might please help me im in so much pain always
