Piriformis Stretch

The piriformis is a small muscle deep in the hip that helps with rotation and stability. When it becomes tight or irritated, it can contribute to hip pain, low back discomfort, or sciatic-type symptoms. Stretching this muscle helps reduces hip and buttock tightness, can help relieve sciatic-type symptoms, improve hip mobility, and more.

How to perform:
1. While lying on your back and leg crossed on top of your opposite knee
2. Hold your knee with your opposite hand and bring your knee up and over across your midline towards your opposite shoulder for a stretch felt in the buttock.
3. Hold for 30 seconds
4. Repeat 3 times per side.

As always, follow up with a physical therapist with any questions.

🎄✈️ Holiday Travel Posture Tips ✈️🎄

If you’re hitting the road (or the skies!) this holiday season, your back and neck might feel the effects of cramped seats, long waits, and heavy bags. Here are a few PT-approved tips to keep you comfortable and pain-free:

1. Pack smart.
Use a rolling suitcase when possible and lift with your legs—not your back. Keep bags close to your body when placing them in overhead bins.

2. Support your spine.
Airplane and car seats aren’t exactly ergonomic. Roll up a jacket or small pillow and place it behind your lower back for better lumbar support.

3. Move every 45–60 minutes.
Stand, stretch, walk the aisle, or do gentle ankle pumps and shoulder rolls to keep blood flow moving and stiffness away.

4. Keep screens at eye level.
Avoid “tech neck” by raising your phone or tablet instead of bending your head forward for long periods.

5. Stay hydrated.
It helps reduce muscle tightness and keeps joints happy—especially during long flights.

Safe travels and happy holidays from your PT team!
If pain or stiffness lingers after your trip, we’re here to help you get moving again.
