Is the End of Summer causing you a pain in the old derrière?
Let’s go through wha it might mean physically and emotionally:
1. Piriformis Syndrome – When the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, causing pain in the buttock and possibly down the leg.
2. Muscle strain – From overuse, improper stretching, or prolonged sitting.
3. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction – Can cause referred pain in the glutes.
In Chinese medicine, a lot of our physical symptoms come from emotional problems.
What does a pain in the butt mean in those terms?
✅ Gluteal Muscles / Buttocks:
• Symbolize power and movement.
• Pain here may represent:
• Fear of moving forward.
• Holding on to anger or resentment.
• Guilt related to past actions.
A hip joint can help through a blend of acupuncture, massage and chiropractic and home recommendations. 🙌
