Back Pain is the number one miss-diagnosed health problem in the UK today. It only takes 2 minutes to find out if your pain is caused by a disease that affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men.
The piriformis muscle (a fairly large muscle situated deep in the buttock region) is responsible for much low back pain and sciatica suffered by the general population, especially when it is tight. Therefore today I thought I would talk about how this muscle, when tight, can result in sciatica and also how you can begin stretching it to help alleviate any signs and symptoms you may be suffering with.
Make no mistake about it, your body does not want to be in pain. If you are suffering in pain, it is nearly always because you are doing something that your body does not like and therefore it is giving you pain as its way of asking you to stop doing it.
I truly believe that the majority of people enduring low back pain and sciatica are suffering what is referred to as ‘non-specific’ pain i.e. there is no one specific cause or structure that can be truly identified as being the source of pain. I also believe that nearly everyone can resolve this type of pain themselves.
With my articles for The Back Pain Show, I will aim to share this belief and my knowledge with you, as well elaborate a little on other things such as the anatomy of the lower back and also old wives’ tales.
I hope you enjoy the following introduction and I look forward to sharing further information with you in the coming weeks and months...
