What if you had a go-to routine that worked every time to relieve tightness in your hip and piriformis? Something quick and effective, with mostly bodyweight exercises. I'm asking because, for years, I've relied on a specific routine called the 'hip series' for quick, immediate relief whenever I start to feel my hip acting up. Here’s what this hip series will do: Each exercise is designed to engage your hip stabilizers. The back-to-back movements will increase tension in the glute medius, so it has no other option but to activate and relieve pressure from the piriformis. I’ve returned to this quick routine time and time again, and it always makes me feel great. I remember using it when I struggled with chronic piriformis syndrome pain, and nothing else worked. It was always so quick to get me relief. I’ve recorded this full hip series today and posted the video and exercises on my blog here. Follow the guided routine and tips. You can also watch it here directly on YouTube. As you go through the exercises, keep your toes pointing forward and focus on feeling the tension on the side of your glute (not the front). Also, take minimum breaks in between. This is part of why this series is so effective in engaging the hip stabilizers. The last exercise is so great if you have sacroiliac joint pain or hip instability. You can repeat this routine a few times a week (no more than once a day) to correct any hip weaknesses and allow the piriformis to relax. If hip pain and piriformis syndrome have turned into a chronic issue…I highly recommend you start here to fix the underlying imbalances causing piriformis and hip issues. You’ll learn the tools and techniques to get long-lasting relief and regain pain-free movement and mobility. |

Hey Reader, One of the common causes of side lower back pain and tension is a tight quadratus lumborum muscle. And I’ve put together a list of amazing stretches to help you release this muscle so it can stop pulling on your pelvis. The QL is a deep muscle located in the back area and part of the deep core. A tight QL can cause intense lower back pain due to prolonged sitting or compensation. It’s also attached to both the spine and pelvis... When it tightens, it causes pain in the upper hip...
