Glutes & Piriformis Foam Rolling (Self Myofascial Release) Self Massage

Do you sit a lot? I have to admit, even though I stand and move a lot throughout the day, I still find myself sitting too much. Sitting down can really take a toll on your muscles, specially your butt muscles (Glutes & Piriformis).

Seems like most people have issues with their hips. Either hurting or aching. Jump on a foam roller and find out what area(s) of your Glutes & Piriformis are tight or have adhesion/scar tissue build up.

For deep Glute Foam Rolling, straighten out both legs and keep them off the floor to add body weight to the area. For deep Piriformis Foam Rolling, hike the ankle on the other knee.

Our bodies are like a chain, one link of the chain will affect the others. Either from top to bottom or bottom to top.

When rolling these muscle groups make sure to start off slow and continue moving throughout the muscle. As you get a little more comfortable then allow yourself to move slower and hold for 10 seconds on areas where you feel some tight/painful areas. This will allow the muscle/ fascia tissue to loosen up and break up any scar tissue build up.

Roll out Before, During or Post exercise.
