Tight piriformis? Try a tibial nerve glide! #shorts

Do you struggle with a tight piriformis muscle!?😤

Have you tried the common stretches and they just don’t seem to bring you much relief?

Let’s get to work! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Step 1: Assess your hips with your usual stretches to see how you’re moving and feeling!
Step 2: Perform the tibial nerve glide on the tighter side (8-10 hip rotations)
Step 3: Reassess your usual stretch positions! How do they feel?!

Better same or worse!? 🤔

Did that work for you? Let me know in the comments!

Hi there, “quads tightening up” is an unusual response with this especially when doing the seated version. It’s possible what you are feeling is some glute medius tension. One consideration would be to change the “hip driver” to a knee driver instead. Meaning, gently lock and unlock your knee to create the mobilization.
