Understanding The Piriformis Puzzle

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, we’re going to put together the puzzle that is the piriformis.  The piriformis is classically known for its stability of the hip but also for being the “cause” of a lot of problems around the hip and beyond.  In this episode, you’ll hear about piriformis anatomy & biomechanics and how they relate to effective assessment and treatment of the piriformis.  You’ll also hear specifics regarding why clamshells aren’t bad, closed-chain exercise benefits, and the connection between the piriformis, pelvis, and sacrum.Resources Mentioned In This EpisodeEpisode 6: The Mysterious, Misunderstood, & Mistreated SI JointEpisode 54: A Better Way To Assess The SI JointEpisode 93: Lateral Line LoveExercise Video: Pelvic Leveling To Prep For T Hip MobilityExercise Video: T Hip MobilityExercise Video: SL RDL w/ Band for CueingJournal of Biomechanics Article by DelpBlog "stretching the piriformis"Blog "Relationship Between the Pelvis and Piriformis"Blog "T-Hip Mobility"Blog "A Knee of an old, unlucky running back"Learn the LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.
