What is “piriformis syndrome” & how can the SACRO WEDGY® help?
A. The piriformis muscle is a triangular shaped muscle that attaches to the hip joint & travels into the front of the sacrum. Runners very often experience problems with this muscle because the pounding creates tightness. That’s why it is sometimes referred to as a “pain in the butt”. To further complicate things, the sciatic nerve travels through or under this muscle & can literally squeeze the nerve causing pain down the legs, knees, (I-T band), heels, anywhere the sciatic nerve travels. The way the sacrum is positioned, while relaxing on the Wedgy, the piriformis muscle has a chance to release & relax. The length of time for a correction varies from person to person. How easily relaxation takes place (it very well could hurt at first), how long the muscle has been in a bind, etc. It’s your choice as to how much time you give.
