Gluteal Amnesia can lead to piriformis issues, hamstring issues, back issues, and more. So if your are looking for more ways to get your glutes firing check out our video "Why Everyone Should Make Sure Their Glutes Are Working Right. How? Why? Chair of Death?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WYe4JnhJWjj5Y

With the neuropathy I have in my legs and feet, the last things want to do is walk within the front of my foot. If I could walk only on my heels it would be more comfortable. I have this butt pain on both sides. My chiropractor said he thinks it may be a compressed disc.

Gluteal Amnesia: When the butt forgets. 😂 But not so funny, I have severe piriformis syndrome from a bad injury that put scar tissue on the muscle which rubs the sciatic nerve. It’s kinda unpleasant. ⬅️Understatement. There is one stretch that helps. I’ve been to physio, been given exercises, been to massage, and most things people think will help (and help most people) tend to hurt it more… I’ll try anything though! I’m watching!!

Is there any truth in some people needing to stretch and gradually lengthen the muscle and others needing to shorten the muscles??? I swear all of the above, it’s like I can feel everything from the lower back, coccyx, hips/band thru greater trochanter and all the way down the back of my leg to the back of my knees sometimes both side mainly my left. I can legit feel the (Band) and when I place other people’s hand there to feel it they cringe. My Mom said what bleep, blank…. It’s kind of like a tooth ache like pressure hurts so good but hurts but feels good hurts, if you get what I’m saying. 🤔😔. Appreciate all the information.

I know because I had to stop walking because the pain was a level 10 (the highest, where you would love drugs or cortisone or anything)... I have been using aquaciise classes gently gently gently and stop whenever it goes above a 3 and move to the thermal pool and may or may not continue the exercises... I listen to my body specifically the hip and legs... I would sometimes get the fire in the foot and that was also 10... but I continue the exercises and I think they incorporate these instructions. I continued because I do need the muscle tone and I have always loved the water... the thermal pool is also great and I was doing the figure 8s, but that did not strengthen the muscles, it only kept the hip flexible... Best of luck to anybody suffering from this... and thank God it was not based on the back issues that can cause it...

1:27 I was suffering from intense pain, and that's what led me to find this KZbin video. The first technique in this video miraculously relieved my pain in just 30 seconds. I can't believe it was this technique that finally worked for me. I've been dealing with this pain for over 15 years, trying numerous stretches and techniques that only seemed to make things worse. I'm amazed at how relaxed I feel now, like I have no pain, and the blood is flowing smoothly through that part of my body.

After self diagnosing that it wasn’t a back problem with two KZbin videos (I do have degenerative disc disease) but a hip problem, I found this video. I have always walked heel first and simply walked on the balls of my feet for 20 minutes even though I was in agony. I noticed that the pain was better! I continued like that all day the next day and wow! I went from 8/10 pain to 1/10 pain in one day! Thank you, Bob and Brad!!!

I've struggled with this for years, the leg kicks work. The other thing to mention is an overactive piriformis is often compensation from a weak TFL in the front of the hip from a lot of sitting (desk job hazard). The way to fix this, outside of walking more (particularl stairs), is to lay on your back with a theraband and do air bicycle kicks. This will strengthen the TFL and help the piriformis from tightening up too much.

I am so glad I found this video! I have had piriformis syndrome for years, I’ve been to chiropractors and doctors, the chiropractor is provided temporary relief by adjusting my SI joint, but the pain would start up again shortly after. Doctors simply offered me opiates and suggested some stretches. I refused the opiates, because they make me very sick, but I would try to do the stretches, and unfortunately, the stretches actually made it worse. I had just about given up and decided I would always be living with this pain, but after doing these exercises for only a few days, I am already feeling massive improvement !

Yes, you should give an update. Mine is better because these exercises are included in my equalize classes... I cannot tell you how bad the pain was because it also impacted my sleep and sitting... It was 10 at the worst and now it is barely a 1... and that is when I know to be gentle, but keep exercising for strength.

Absolute godsend video. I have been debilitated by this over the last few weeks and the physio advice I had when I asked how this has developed was lacking, she said I’d overloaded it and had to stretch it. After watching this I’ve found my right gluteus isn’t firing like the left so this is definitely happening. This has made such a difference. Thank you so much!

Folks, this worked for me and is worth a try. I was struggling with the worst pain I ever experienced and felt desperate. I stopped the exercises I was doing, essentially stretching the piriformis which I think was exacerbating the problem, and started these to strengthen the maximus. It didn't help immediately but every day it got a little better until I was completely out of pain within about a week. I ordered the Bob and Brad C2 Massage Gun and like it a lot. It arrived after my pain was gone but it still felt good to use on the glute muscles. I'm also using it on my trapezius muscles which tend to be tight. Good luck managing piriformis syndrome. Nerve pain is just awful.

I had months of PT for what was assumed to be right side sciatica caused by pressure from a disc. None of the exercises helped. But one day, the PT suggested that I try throwing my right leg over the edge of a bed (position Brad was in with the massage gun). I held that position for about a minute. My pain diminished right away. My PT said I probably had piriformis syndrome! That was five years ago, and anytime I feel pain or numbness in my right leg/foot, I do that stretch. It always works.

Pretty sure I've had this piriformis problem on the left side for the last 30 years, and is the direct result of an injury in a gym. I thought it was a back injury, as I had sciatic pain/shocks for a week afterward, taking prednisolone for swelling, and 2 months of physical therapy. The cross-leg glute stretches DO help, as does rolling on a tennis ball, but I have never found permanent relief. I will try the exercises suggested here. HOWEVER... I am wondering if anyone else has noticed something that I have noticed... when the pain flares up, it is *always* correlated with having eaten too much food too quickly at least 24 to 36 hours before. Anyone else get this?

I have been through physical therapy (which I followed diligently), and MRI to make sure it wasn't a herniated disc, cortisone shots, and still I have issues. It has been 6 months, and I can't walk very far. I also have tendonitis and a small tear in my gluteus medius tendon, and a labral tear. The piroformus will not release. I do find that exercise relieves pain for a few moments, but that is it. I have been resting for a week, because it seems the more I do, the worse it gets. I will try these things only for a bit and see if these simple things are just enough, but not too much to help. Certain mine came from sitting a lot for work even though I was walking a ton, going to the gym 2-3 times a week, taking a weekly dance class, and yoga when this happened. I frequently did glute activation in the yoga classes, and at the gym so I am not sure how I ended up here. It has been a nightmare not being able to do these activities anymore because of the pain.

The lacrosse ball helped with my back, but it made the piriformis worse I guess because it was impinging on the sciatica. I find the best position is to relax and recliner with cushions that keep my butt suspended between my back and the back of my upper thigh. Either this means that the problem is a joint pain or that this is the only position where the piriformis in sciatic nerve are in complete relaxation

*Sorry, this got very long winded* It's interesting how the YT algorithm works. THIS video was only suggested yesterday! Yet, over the last bunch of months, since last June when this whole dang thing started, I've seen several of their videos. WITH BETTER MICROPHONES, I might add. As an aside, the audio on this is horrible. Those must have been seriously cheap, crappy mics. I don't remember their other videos being like that and I hope that their newer videos don't use those nasty mics. Anyhooooo, I did watch other videos and did many of the suggested thing. The BALL thing really helped. I did that cross the leg thing both sitting and laying flat. That really helped too. But I was also taking Magnesium and other vitamins I've seen recommended and I know that those helped. I got to the point of 99% pain free! *HOWEVER......* Over the last month, much of the pain has returned on my right side. Not as bad as the original hit. But I realized why! Since I was mostly pain free, I just stopped doing everything and went on with my life! *Big... BIG mistake!!!* So a week ago, I started taking the vitamins again, using the BALL method and the cross legged thing and already, there's a reduction in pain and that GOTCHA when moving. Oh it's still there, but it's less powerful now. The other thing that I stopped doing, which I'm going to start back on today, is using my back stretcher bench. It's a bench where you lay flat on it, it has these 4 foam things where you put your feet into, but THAT'S NOT GOOD.... so I use a big, thick stretching belt around my hips. I attach 2 straps, one on each side, and hook that to that foot piece thing. This way, when I ratchet the handle, that makes that foot piece move out, it pulls me at the thigh (instead of the joints from feet, ankles and hips) and GENTLY decompresses the spine. In only do it in very small increments, because stretching too much can seriously injure a person. But when I was using this bench, I found that made a huge difference. I did have a bulging disk (or 2) and that helped them to resolve. So it's time to get back using that as well. So I guess what I'm saying, is that for some people, keeping up the regiment might be necessary for a long time or for life.

I'm starting to think that I get hurt because you guys are going to do a video on that area. Stop doing videos before I die! : ) Just kidding! (?) I did strain the piriformis last week while shoveling and I am still hurting. I will try some of these exercises to speed up my recovery. Thank you, Brad, Mike. I hope Bob is doing well. He is still in my prayers. God Bless you all.

Not a great idea to tape anything under heels and stay off of them while walking. I tried it today and caused pains in my arches of my feet and mild case of heel spurs.

Your videos have been so helpful to me in the past! Recently I think i got a small pull/ tear in the piraformis while running, and i can stretch it, but i'm also trying to exercise it. Are there any exercises to work the piraformis directly?

Most of the pain im experiencing suggests pirifirmis or sciatica. Its mainly across my lower vack from left to right, my right hip, down my right thigh and down the front of my right leg. However, i do experience pinching in my right hand side neck and shoulder area and pins and needles on both sides with occasional twinges of pain in various areas of the left and right hand side of my body including my hands, feet ans even my face and lips sometimes. What id like to know is the pain radiating from the right hand source of the pain to make both sides of my body affected albeit the left is significantly less affected than the right. Any reassurance welcome.

I’ve been having a deep pain issue in my left hip. The best way I can describe it is it feels like the inner portion of the ball of the femur, where it joins into the iliac, and feels like a sharp, localized pain. I can feel fine for a few days and feel nothing, then it’ll come back and be so sharp that it’s painful to walk or take long strides. I don’t know if this might be my issue, but it seems to be close to that same area and would make sense if it’s putting strain on the sciatic nerve. It tends to feel better after I’ve done some hamstring stretching and after doing my weighted jump rope routine. BTW, love the Crossropes. I’ll give this and try and hopefully it’ll give me a more long-term relief.

@@mrpentium I haven’t looked into that. From what I’ve researched FAI tends to be on the anterior portion of the joint. My pain is very localized on the posterior-medial portion where the femur interfaces with the acetabulum. I’ll look into that, thanks. Also, I haven’t experienced this pain for a while. It’s weird: it’s so random when it comes, or leaves, or for how long it persists.

I reckon you guys scratch your heads sometimes thinkin', "We've covered everything, now what?" I've got one for you: PTSD for back pain (or any pain for that matter). When my back isn't hurting, still I suffer and limit my movement for fear of that hot poker knife just looming behind me. It's why, I'm sure, that a lot of non-compliance occurs.
