“Help I have fallen and I can’t get up” is a phrase many of us grew up hearing. If you fall and do not have the strength to stand back up again on your own, you may lose independence. For those who are not yet “feeling their age” getting up from the floor or bathtub requires no more thought than breathing. YET, there will come a time where standing up without use of your hands and without knee,back or hip pain is something we yearn for. This month explores a routine that includes movements that will train and strengthen the deep core muscles that often get more weak with age, surgery and life’s accumulative injuries. Try this routine and see how it goes. Follow us throughout the next weeks to practice movement snack portions meant to eventually improve the ability to stand up from the floor with greater ease.

Suitcase Carry. This "exercise" really works the entire core top to bottom. There really is no reason to try it. The body mechanics used to bend, lift and walk incorporate all the movements, therefore all the muscles used with every day activities. When performed right your core is happy, when done daily without considering how the core works, well, that is when PAIN occurs in feet, knees, back, OR maybe leakage and prolapse. You can not change what you are not aware of. AWARENESS is Key.

May your "table" be full this year with health, wealth and an abundance of gratitude for life, love and lessons learned. We are very grateful to you, our Motivate community, for your continued support. We give thanks for you on this day.

Strengthening exercises are important when it comes to relief of piriformis syndrome.

Strengthening the piriformis and surrounding hip muscles improves the stability of the hip joint needed for true CORE function.

Piriformis syndrome often results from muscle imbalances in the hip and core (hips, back, abs, trunk and shoulders).

Strengthening exercises help rebalance the muscles restoring the system of muscle and joints needed for core support instead of compensation such as “pigeon walking” or “tucking the tail” all day that will affect pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Strengthening hip, and core muscles can reduce the workload on piriformis muscles. It helps to prevent muscle from becoming tight, spasming, or over working, which is a common cause of sciatic nerve compression.

Talking Piriformis syndrome relief options……foam rolling exercises can help relieve and prevent pain due to tight hip and pelvic muscles causing sciatic nerve compression.

Why foam roll?

-Reduce pain created from trigger points, muscle strains and muscle spasms condition.

-Reduce hip muscle tension affecting core weakness and improve posture, further reducing pain associated with poor or repetitive postures.

-Facilitate blood flow and help release lactic acid, which is a byproduct of muscle exertion that causes soreness.

-Relieve chronic muscle tension or “knots” and adhesions which can help to improve the flexibility and motion of the hip joint.

-Enhance the performance of hip muscles, including the piriformis, leading to high-quality, pain-free movement and an improved quality of life.
