Piriformis, gluteus medius

The most common symptom of piriformis becoming “strong” is sagittarius pain, at the waist, towards the feet. Many people confuse it with the symptoms of lumbar spinal hernia. Due to the strength of this muscle, it begins to push the sciatic nerve, which is the cause of the sagittarius pain. It is essential to roll and stretch, and to develop the muscles of the trunk, tail.

Roll both sides of the piriformis, stretch it.

Rolling and stretching of the gluteus medius muscle is essential for the proper functioning of the hip joint.

It belongs to the *lateral muscle chain, so it is worth dealing with all the muscles of the chain, rolling, stretching.

Roll the gluteus medius muscles on both sides, stretch.

The presented image and video material can be done for everyone, but in case of any injury, a consultation/survey is recommended for individualized training.
