Part 5/7:
- King Cobra or Seal Pose: Straighten your arms while keeping the core engaged. This progression provides further relief, assuming it does not cause significant pain.
Addressing Piriformis Syndrome
For sciatic pain stemming from piriformis syndrome, a three-pronged approach is recommended: self-massage, stretching, and strengthening.
- Self-Massage: Utilizing a foam roller or tennis ball helps release tension in the piriformis. Start gently, rolling over the muscle to find tight spots. If self-massage exacerbates symptoms, consider prioritizing stretching and strengthening first.
