Piriformis Press

Piriformis Press

Use this SMR exercise AFTER the Center Quad Rock & Roll, and the Inner Thigh Roll. 

This SMR exercise is to address the knots in your piriformis and other lateral rotators of the thigh. 

If you have sciatica, SI joint issues, or general tightness or discomfort in the ‘cheek’ area of the outside of your hip, then this exercise is likely to help.

You should do this SMR exercise at least once every 2 weeks. (more often is better)  

If you skip the first 2 SMR exercises for the muscle in the front and inside regions of your thigh (the Center Quad Rock & Roll and the Inner Thigh Roll), there is a strong likelihood of your hip discomfort coming right back.

DON’T skip your hip flexors, quads & adductors when dealing with hip pain.
