If you've been stretching your piriformis for months and it still won't release, this might be the most important thing you read this year. Because the problem isn't your stretching technique. You're probably doing the stretches correctly. The problem is that stretching only addresses one of the four things keeping your piriformis locked up. And as long as the other three are still running, the muscle will retighten within an hour of every stretch you do. Here's what I mean. Your piriformis is in spasm. So you stretch it. Good. The muscle loosens for a while. But the spasm was compressing your sciatic nerve. And the compressed nerve triggered an inflammation response. And the inflammation made your body tense up to protect the area. And that protective tension made the piriformis tighter again. So it spasms again. That's the compression cycle. And stretching only touches the first part. I spent fourteen months doing figure-four stretches every morning and every night. I have 40+ piriformis videos saved on YouTube. I bought a foam roller, a lacrosse ball, a massage gun. I was doing everything right. And then I'd sit in my car for thirty minutes and it was like I'd never stretched at all. My physical therapist never once mentioned the word "cycle." She just kept giving me more stretches. The article that changed everything for me was written by a therapist who explained that you cannot stretch your way out of a compression cycle. You have to break all four links at the same time. The spasm, the compression, the inflammation, and the guarding. She explained exactly what that looks like. Step by step. I read it and genuinely felt angry that nobody had told me this in fourteen months of appointments. ⬇️ https://daywick.com/pages/p01
