Description: |
- Assume a seated crab walk position with lacrosse ball under the piriformis muscle (runs from sacrum to greater trochanter).
- Cross one leg over the other to expose/stretch the pirimormis.
- Keep pressure on hands and feet to control the degree of pressure.
- Minimize rolling around too much and instead focus on applying direct pressure but not for too long!
- Do not over do any one area to the point of significant pain or discomfort. Less is more.
