Working in cold conditions and overuse of muscles in the lower back and hip regions through bending, lifting, kneeling or standing, can cause inflammation that pinches the nerve running from the lower back, through the hip, into the lower leg and calf muscles. This condition is a common occurance, trigger point therapy helps reduce inflammation and relieves the pinched nerve, clinically called "piriformis syndrome".
Releasing the compensation tension points in the hip and lower back before triggering the sciatic nerve pathway, leads to recovery with proper support from the larger muscles regions.
Applied heat before session work, helps promote vasodialation in the areas of inflammation:
"Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels as a result of the relaxation of the blood vessel's muscular walls."
Another common occurance is "sciatica", which runs along the same pathway of piriformis syndrome. The main difference between the two, is that sciatica has symptoms that run from the lower back to the lower leg, while piriformis has pain in the glute and hip.
