There’s a tiny muscle in your deep hip complex called the piriformis. This little guy [or lady] seems to get a bad rap in the fitness and medical communities alike. I can not tell you how many times I have been told this muscle is “tight” or that this muscle is the culprit of one’s aches and pains. Well, I hate to be the one that breaks it to you, BUT, “tight” does not always mean there is a contractile or shortening of the muscle. Seriously! Tight can mean poor joint range of motion poor muscle flexibility sensitive nerve tension referred pain from elsewhere poor skin suppleness or perhaps even just the “feeling” of tightness due to a perceived threat or fatigue (check out Todd’s blog for more on this topic) My point is, there’s more to just slapping a diagnosis of “tight” tissue on someone and telling them to stretch. You’ve got to know more to really alleviate said tightness . Book a consultation here!
The kettlebell is such a versatile training tool that practically anyone at any skill level can utilize. And maybe one of these options can fit into your program!
Bulging and herniated discs can occur anywhere along the spine, but most commonly occur in the neck and low back. Disc injuries are some of the most common causes of low back and neck pain. They vary in terms of severity from mild irritations to bulges to herniations. The good news is, even some of the most severe types of disc injuries have the ability to heal without surgery!
