5P-roblems of Sitting: Piriformis & Psoas Pain, Poor Posture (get it??)

Want to fix hip pain and poor posture from sitting for hours on end?

We got a lot of comments on a recent video on piriformis pain, but focusing on your piriformis alone won’t fix all of the big sitting issues. Your psoas and thoracic spine suffer too.

What happens when you sit for hours at a time (maybe you work in an office or are binging something great all weekend) is your piriformis, and your psoas muscles get stuck in shortened positions. Over months, this shortens and tightens the muscles because our bodies adapt to the most common circumstances.

Doing this quick routine with your trusty exercise ball and a chair or stool every day will activate the sleepy muscles and counteract the sitting. Over time, your pain should notice pain diminishing and your posture improving.

It only takes a few minutes. Keep it up. It’ll help.
