The piriformis is located deep within the gluteal region, sitting behind the gluteus maximus. Because of its location, traditional stretches often miss the mark. The Reverse Pigeon Pose is unique because it uses the weight of your legs and a specific angle of hip rotation to create a precise stretch in the piriformis fibers.

In Pilates, roll-downs and roll ups have been one of the basic exercise taught to begin learning how to engage the spine, pelvis, and abdominal muscles. It has become the a pivotal part in core strength and stability. Many exercise programs have left out this piece when teaching the traditional sit-up or crunch, often leaving one open to injury, extreme muscle tension or strain in various areas of our bodies, to compensate for using the wrong muscles to perform the exercises.

Tightness in the deep hip rotators — including muscles like the piriformis, gemellus, obturator internus, obturator externus, and quadratus femoris — can contribute to pain, limited range of motion, and issues like sciatica or general hip discomfort. The video linked above offers a clear demonstration of how to release these deep hip muscles using specific manual or self-release techniques, helping restore mobility and ease muscular tension.

Stretching increases the range of motion around your joints and lengthens muscles that may have become tight from prolonged sitting, repetitive movement, or lack of activity. Gentle stretching also helps muscles relax after a workout and promotes healthy blood flow, aiding recovery and reducing stiffness. BioMed Natural Health It’s not just about physical flexibility: stretching enhances body awareness and connects movement with mindful breathing, which can help calm the ner

Many people suffer from chronic tesnion and pain in the pelvis or their bottom. In some cases it is attributed to the muscles of the pelvic floor being tigh or in spasm. We may also have trigger points that contribute to pain in the pelvis, but also radiating into the groin, legs, hips, and back.

Sciatic nerve pain can be incredibly debilitating, often presenting as sharp pain, tingling, or spasms that originate in the lower back or glutes and radiate down the leg. Frequently caused by a tight piriformis muscle pinching the nerve or compression in the lumbar spine, sciatica requires a strategic approach to movement: first releasing the pain, then building the strength to keep it from returning.

Improving pelvic floor health involves more than just isolated exercises like Kegels. It requires awareness of how the muscles work, learning proper activation and relaxation, and integrating movement with breathing and core engagement. Many healthcare professionals recommend training with a pelvic health specialist to ensure that exercises target the correct muscles and support overall function.

Cervical spondylosis is a fancy term for age-related wear and tear in the spine [00:32]. It often leads to achiness, soreness, and stiffness in the neck.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that form a supportive sling at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, and play a role in bladder and bowel control, core stability, breathing, and sexual function. When the pelvic floor is tight, overactive, or restricted, it can lead to symptoms such as pelvic pain, difficulty with bowel movements, urinary urgency or leakage, discomfort with intercourse, or sup

We often talk about self-love as a destination, but we rarely discuss the heavy lifting required to clear the path to get there.
