Weak or tight piriformis muscles can lead to a variety of problems, both in sports and in everyday life. Stretching can help alleviate or prevent the pain you can experience from this muscle that lies deep in your buttocks. Learn both simple and advanced piriformis stretches you can use.
-
✔Function of the Piriformis Muscle
-
The piriformis muscle is a deep muscle located beneath the gluteal (butt) muscles that play a surprisingly important role in hip flexibility and stability. This large, powerful muscle laterally rotates and stabilizes the hip. The piriformis works along with other hip rotators to turn the hips and upper leg outward (external rotation of the hip).
-
The proper function of the piriformis muscle is essential for athletes who participate in running sports that require sudden changes of direction, such as soccer or basketball. Strong and flexible hip rotators keep hip and knee joints properly aligned with activity and help prevent sudden twisting of the knee during quick side-to-side movements, quick turns, lunges or squats.
