I have struggled with pain for the last 5 years and I’m not sure if it is sciatica or piriformis syndrome. Because they mimic each other quite a lot, and I’ve had diagnoses of both from different doctors and chiropractors. One day I woke up with excruciating pain in my right butt cheek, deep under a muscle, and I could not even walk. I had to crawl down the stairs, to the drive way, and to my car, and to the ER. And then get out of my car and crawl to the ER. I was only 25 years old at the time, so ofcourse the ER doctors thought I was exaggerating or drug seeking. But it was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I was prescribed something to help me calm down because I was just hysterical and in the worst pain of my life, and also some muscle relaxants. They diagnosed me with sciatica & sent me home with the muscle relaxants. It seemed as though the muscle relaxants, which were very strong I might add, only made things worse. I feel like they may have a part to play in why I’ve never healed. I can’t describe the feeling. It is a constant & chronic dull ache and it almost feels like something is caught deeeep down. I’ve tried chiropractor after chiropractor, stretch after stretch.. day after day. And don’t get me wrong, the chiropractor I’ve recently been going to is wonderful and he helps in so many ways, but unfortunately, the relief is and was always only temporary and I’ve had to keep going back, which gets very expensive at $52 dollars a visit. Same with stretches, only temporary relief. And it seems like from this video, i needed more than stretches.. although stretches are great and make me feel good and limber.. it just wasn’t helping in the long run. It also needed strengthened. I’ve also done some yoga, and I loved it. Absolutely loved it. But again.. temporary. This entire time I was thinking I had bad sciatica and that if I can’t get the pain to stop, I was thinking surgery as my last resort. So maybe it’s been piriformis syndrome this whole time like the chiropractor said. This pain has taken so much away from me for the last 5-6 years with no relief. I can’t sleep, I can’t sit long without pain, I can’t stand for long without pain. All day every day horrible, miserable pain. So I tried these exercises, and after the first exercise I SH*T you not, I started BAWLING. I just started crying because of the relief.. I’ve not felt that relief in such a long time. It felt like it took away so much tension. I’m going to keep trying this. I hope it works long term. Thank you so much for this video and for sharing this with all of us who suffer from this pain.

Well I've had a bad hip for about 4 months, resting and stretching did nothing. I'm only on my 2nd week, I just went straight to doing all 4 every other day, I'm now on 20seconds per rep. Today is my first day with no hip pain. I literally can't believe it.

This is the only channel addressing hip issues that give the crucial tips of activating deeper pelvic muscles as you do exercises. I cannot believe the difference. I've given birth to two big babies, and even though I've stayed quite active ever since, I just was not recruiting these muscles and finally ended up with SI joint pain that was exacerbated by doing pigeon pose etc in yoga. I dropped the yoga and have suffered for about a year. Doing these just a few reps with you just now has totally eliminated the SI pain. THANK YOU!!

Happy to help!

thank you for the video - I've been searching for a resource for the SI Joint and exercises for strengthening. Both left & right piriformis areas are inflamed at the moment right more than left - no one (doctors, chiropractors, or massage therapists) have been able to advise a treatment! It makes perfect sense to strengthen the darn areas instead of stretching which I have been doing religiously without improved results! Thank you again. I'll let you know how this goes after 4 weeks.... fingers crossed but already feeling better after going through these movements. Thank you again.

I have had sit pain for over 8 years. Fell off a horse, didn’t brake anything but a lot is soft tissue was damaged. Still on the road to recovery, hoping to one day again being able to sit without pain. I just recently came across your videos and this makes so much sense. I get thight all the time and have been told to stretch. A lot of exercises flare me up badly. Not sure which all muscles I need to build. I am starting carefully with some of these. Also watching the one you have about activating your foot. Thank you for sharing and having these great informative videos that are easy to follow ❤

So happy to find this. I'vd been suffering from periformis syndrome for two years. Rounds of PT and stretching exercises haven't help. I will do this instead with big hopes.

I have been struggling with this back pain in my Glute area for months. All the stretching didn’t work did these exercises once and instantly had relief.

Awesome! Thanks for giving us these. I have left lumbar scoliosis. I've had a chronic left hip pain for months. I assume it was the piriformis. The pain is almost gone after a few days practicing this routine and the psoas routine. A big thank you to you Eric!!!!

Thank you! I've been stretching for years. Literally. My right hip has always been very stiff. In fact, my yoga teacher uses all of these to make sure we have the strength to do actual poses. But I have only done them during a class. I'll start doing them daily. Have subscribed. Your detail is very helpful

@@PrecisionMovementCoach My PT tells me to keep stretching the piriformis rather than strengthening it. Says it’s overworked thus the ache. That seems contrary to your advice. Confusing for patients. Help? (I do sit quite a lot)

I needed this information as I am a new massage therapist and while in school they did not teach us how to properly care for our own body. I am in my 40’s and learned from a PT that as we age we stop using our abdominal muscles and instead use the gluts. I have a lot of pain in this area from all the straining I do in massage. This video helps! Thanks!

Thank you !! I've had pain in that spot when walking my dog up hill daily for years. (we walk between 3 and 3 1/2 miles every day). I've been to therapy almost four years ago and have had no improvement at all, so I just sucked it up and kept on. I just did the first day of each of your exercises and it targeted the painful spot exactly !! Might not be able to walk her tomorrow, but I'll just just limp along ! :) From what I'm reading, this is the answer ! Thank you again !!!

What is so terrific about you is that I truly understand the goal and the background of the exercises and that you explain thema in detail. With precision As an experienced patiënt In immediately recognize a good PT. It's al in the diagnose and in the details. Sorry my English is unsufficiently good to explain watch I mean. But I guess you understand. I do a lot of this kind of exercises for low back, SI joint, piriformis, hip, core stability in generale. But I have smalle fiber neuropathy in my feet probably from' high glucose levels in the past plus a bad woundinfection after back surgery followed by 3 months of heavy antibiotica which wordende the SFN really badly and these exercices hurt my feet so bad . Smalle fiber neuropathy is ver painfull and I do not tolerate mediation. I am desperate . I am loosing my muscles and van d ook very limited exercise because of the pain cauesd by the neuropathy. I have been on Keti and IF, i eat healthy, I take specific supplement and yet I am loosing the battle . Anyway keep up the good work. You're the best

Thanks Coach for these super exercises. Went on 4 Km walk and after experienced outer thigh pain down through calf. Doing these 4 exercises helped to alleviate discomfort. Not sure why this pain occurs and it’s noticeable after a long walk with 1-2 minute run.
