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