Self Care For "Sciatica" or Gluteus Minimus trigger points

Trigger points in this buttocks muscle (gluteus minimus) can cause "sciatica" or pain, or tingling or numbness that travels down the buttocks to the side of the thigh and even into the side of the lower leg. This pain is often referred to as "Sciatica" or unspecified radiculopathy L1 to L5. This video is an explanation on how to use a Tiger Tail Curve Ball, or 5" Fitball to perform self Care to eliminate these trigger points.

Hello there, could you please reply that, is skin numbness is part of this health issue?

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

We cannot comment on specific medical conditions. Referred sensation can feel like pain, or numbness. Perhaps consider Checking with a primary care doctor to rule out radiculopathy.

can I use a lacrosse ball instead?

[@chicagocenterformyofascial1555]

Nope, a smaller ball will give too much compression to a small area. a 5" ball would be best.

Yes you can. In fact I think it’s preferable since the glute minimus is a deep muscle.
