Hello , I’m hoping I can ask here about the above problem and see if anyone could recommend a class that would be best as I see there are several. This injury surprised me, as it occurred after trying lawn bowling out (surprisingly) - there is a repetitive lunge used when rolling the bowl. It hurts to sit for awhile. I’ve tried the short hip release that was recently posted. But i think I should do something each day. Hopefully I can ask this here and thank you in advance. (the infuriating thing is that I’m not really even interested in doing lawn bowling 🙃) Heather Allen ---

David has piriformis pnf short, and his class on sciatica relief helped me lots. ---

Thanks for the specifics (I looked up what pnf stretching is and found that interesting and helpful as well) . On I go to the videos 👍! ---

Rest and time often help for this, you an also try some of David’s trigger point therapy for this, using therapy balls on the hips is magic! ---

It’s slowly improving thank you. I did the pfs but I don’t own therapy balls, I look for some, but can you use tennis balls? ---

Heather, likely David may chime in, but he recommended the Tune Up Therapy balls (search for his vids and blog on it) and I like them better bc they don’t create a resistance response as much as a harder tennis ball. Look them up, I have benefited from mine immensely. More effective than a foam roller often and they are easier to use; travel easy too. ---

I’ve had this problem for years. When it plays up, i use a tennis ball for trigger point therapy. Works really well. Try glute stretching too. Eases the dull deep sensation. David’s ‘Sciatica Relief’ session is excellent!
