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.

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.
