Experiencing lower-back tension, glute pain, or sciatica-like symptoms?
A tight piriformis muscle might be the cause. This small, deep muscle sits beneath the glutes and, when overworked or tightened, can irritate the sciatic nerve—leading to pain, numbness, or tingling in the hip, glute, or down the leg.
Common triggers include prolonged sitting, repetitive activity, or previous injury.
What can help?
✔️ Targeted stretching (think knee-to-chest or pigeon pose)
✔️ Sports massage or myofascial release
✔️ Foam rolling or using a massage ball
✔️ Heat or ice therapy
✔️ Regular movement breaks throughout the day
If this sounds familiar, a tailored sports massage session can help release tension, restore mobility, and reduce discomfort.
