Piriformis Trigger Point Release with Acumobility Ball

By
·
Presented by Spartan Training®

This mobility exercise is awesome for working through tightness in the glute muscle that can contribute to low back and hip issues.

Technique

Passive Release:  Start by lying on 1 Acumobility ball in the center of the glute which is called the piriformis muscle.  Cross the leg over the opposite knee as you do small

Active Release:  In the same position, this time work your hip through internal and external rotation as you drive pressure into the piriformis muscle.  If there is not a lot of mobility of that hip, continue to do this release regularly looking for the range of motion to increase.
