How I spent 5 years without piriformis syndrome pain. I'm sharing everything I've been doing to avoid piriformis pain without any therapy
The piriformis muscles are intertwined with your sciatic nerves and the right piriformis stretch could help relieve sciatic pain in the back, hips and legs.
Probably 6-7 yrs ago I had a very bad case of Plantar Fascitis. At that time, I was making a lot of money as well as having great insurance. Maybe that was a crutch because I leaned on other people too much such as doctors, therapists to help me deal with my excruciating heel pain. After going regularly to a chiropractor, massage therapist, sports medicine doctor, a physical therapist (he was the therapist for the Arizona Diamondbacks then), wearing these awful socks at night, and even considering getting steroid shots (I did not succumb to this, though), none of those things worked or really did much to relieve the pain. I was in my 30s and still very active, but the heel pain made it barely tolerable to even walk. I dreaded putting any pressure on my feet due to the pain I was having in both heels. Then, one night when I couldn't sleep due to the pain, I was surfing the internet and came across this book by Clair Davies called Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, 2nd Edition. Mr. Davies has since passed away, but next to God and people you think would be the most important people in your life (spouse, children, family, etc), I rank him up there for the work he did in this area and him disseminating this information to the world. I have bought maybe close to 10 copies of this book, some people never returning it. A couple weeks ago, when spending 6-7 hrs walking around at the zoo, the next day, I had heel pain again. Granted, in the past 6-7 years, I have had hardly any heel pain because from Mr. Davies book, I found out the reason for my particular heel pain and got rid of the reason and kept at it. Since then, however, I learned that heel pain can come from a number of different areas of the body, not the just the area I thought. For me, way back years ago, the root of my heel pain was from Tibialis Posterior: Once I started to get rid of the trigger point, which a trigger point is basically a muscle knot that creates pain in some part of your body. Where the trigger point is does not necessarily mean the pain is there, as you can see in the above diagram. Once that trigger point is released, the pressure and pain decreases and/or is eliminated, depending if you have gotten rid of the trigger point completely or not. How I got rid of the trigger point was using my thumbs on that area as I sat down, pressing on the trigger point. Because that trigger point was really set in, it took me a couple weeks to work through the trigger point and I could only take so much pain, had to give my body time to heel. But, the very first time I exerted pressure on that trigger point, I could feel the pressure on my heels releasing some. When my pain started again, this time I tried to locate the same trigger point, but there were none in Tibialis Posterior, so I looked in the book for other areas. I found working on Soleus 2 helped a bit: With Soleus 2, I could still use my thumbs, but that hurts my thumbs, and years later now and having worked on a number of trigger points in my body for other things, I have learned to use some inexpensive aids. I used a ball that is about the size of a softball and while sitting on the bed with my legs extended, I place my calf on top of the ball and press, rolling the ball some. That was painful and I just kept at it. What I have found is when trigger points are really set in there, I have to give my body time to heel after working on the trigger points. Once that area gets sore, I let it heel until it is no longer sore, which is often 2-3 days, making sure I get plenty of rest and drink water. The pain lessened after working out that trigger point, but there was still some pain, but this time it was on the inside of my heel where the abductor hallucis is. How I worked out this trigger point was initially with my thumb, which wasn't smart, so then I used my knuckles. That really hurt. After my knuckles got tired, I switched to placing my elbow on those points. My elbow gave me the best leverage and force I could exert and made me feel nauseated. I had to stop after working on this a bit. As of right now, the area is very sore and still hurts some. Something I forgot to do all this time was take some Alleve and ice down the areas. The trigger points not only cause the pain in whatever area, but inflammation occurs. So, you really need to work on bringing down the inflammation. Though I don't like to take medications, but I found this to be helpful to take a couple Alleves and ice down the area a few times. The icing REALLY helps a lot. I would recommend everyone buying a therapy icing bag, a larger one as this has come in handy for all sorts of injuries and pain and is a very natural way to help bring down inflammation. Here is a nice one at Amazon you can get - Physical Therapy Ice Pack. I recommend getting the larger size as that can be used anywhere on your body. We keep ours in the freezer all the time and it takes about 30 min. to get cold again. Another area I worked on that also helped some was the Quadratus Plantae area. How I addressed this trigger point is put a golf ball in a sock on the floor and applied pressure there. The sock helps it not to roll around as much. Here are some other areas that can cause heel pain that you can try. The stuff in the back of the legs, I would use a softball or a baseball (your leg on top of it pressing down) to get down into those areas over your thumb.

The therapeutic benefits of Hatha yoga arise from whole body energetic balancing combined with distinct biomechanical adjustments. We gave an example of this in our last blog post, where we looked at the disorder known as adult acquired flatfoot deformity, its biomechanical basis and how to utilize yoga to maintain healthy foot arches. In this post we focus on the plantar fascia of the foot and examine the most common cause of heel pain—plantar fasciitis—to see what happens when things go wrong. Finally, we consider how yoga can be used to bring things back into balance and even to prevent this condition. First, let’s look at fascia in general. A fascia is a fibrous structure that is formed from sheets of connective tissue. The deep fascia covers and invests muscles, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels throughout the body. An important example of a deep fascia is the thoracolumbar fascia. All yoga practitioners should be familiar with this structure and its myofascial connections, as it forms a critical support system for the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint. Other types of fascia include the superficial fascia of the subcutaneous tissue (under the skin), and the visceral and parietal fascia, which surround organs such as the heart and lungs. Figure 1 illustrates the deep fascial elements of skeletal muscles. Click here to see this in the context of stretching and Hanumanasana (front splits). Figure 1: The deep fascia covering and investing skeletal muscle. The plantar fascia or plantar aponeurosis (you can use either term) originates from the medial tubercle of the calcaneus (heel bone) and continues forward to attach to the proximal phalanx of each of the toes (via the plantar plates). Extending (dorsiflexing) the toes tightens the plantar fascia, thus elevating the foot arch. During this process, the metatarsal heads act as pulleys to form a “windlass” that tightens the plantar aponeurosis. The plantar fascia has elastic qualities in that its fibers are somewhat wavy in the relaxed position. These fibers straighten in response to forces applied (like the heel-off phase of gait). Thus, the plantar fascia can store energy like a spring. Figure 2 illustrates this concept. Figure 2: The windlass mechanism of the plantar aponeurosis (fascia). The plantar aponeurosis also forms a myofascial connection with the muscles of the calf (gastrocnemius and soleus) via the Achilles’ tendon and, by extension, the hamstrings (and potentially other muscles of the posterior kinetic chain). Forces that stretch the plantar fascia are distributed along these muscles. Conversely, tightness in these muscles can adversely affect the function of the plantar fascia and thus the arch of the foot. Figure 3 illustrates these myofascial connections in Downward Facing Dog pose. Figure 3: The myofascial connections to the plantar fascia in Downward Dog pose. Plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury related to repetitive overstretching of the plantar aponeurosis. In this condition the forces of gait are concentrated where the plantar fascia attaches to the calcaneus, instead of being distributed over the fascia and the muscles at the back of the legs. This results in microtrauma to the plantar aponeurosis near its origin, causing inflammation and heel pain. Risk factors for developing plantar fasciitis include tight calf muscles and hamstrings, endurance-type weight bearing activity (such as running) and a high body mass index. Figure 4 illustrates plantar fasciitis. Click here to see a reference MRI image of this condition. Figure 4: Plantar fasciitis (note the inflammation at the origin of the plantar aponeurosis). Note that there are other conditions that can cause heel pain. An example of such a condition is a stress fracture of the calcaneus, which is also seen in runners. This problem is treated differently from plantar fasciitis. Accordingly, if you have heel pain be sure to consult a health care practitioner who is appropriately trained and qualified to diagnose and manage such conditions. Use your knowledge of pathological conditions to deepen your understanding of the body and to work with yoga as an adjunct in prevention and treatment. Since one of the most important aspects of managing this condition is stretching of the plantar fascia, heel cords (gastrocnemius/soleus complex) and hamstrings, yoga offers an ancient preventative solution. For example, Downward Dog pose stretches both the hamstrings and heel cords. Click here to see how to use reciprocal inhibition to release the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and allow the heels to lower to the floor in Downward Dog. Figure 5: Stretching the plantar aponeurosis (fascia) in Chaturanga dandasana. Chaturanga dandasana (figure 5) stretches the plantar fascia itself. Use this image to aid in visualization of this process while in the pose. One of our previous posts gives some tips on how to ease into Chaturanga and another describes a key muscular co-contraction in this pose. Uttanasana illustrates a stretch of the posterior kinetic chain, linking to the feet (figure 6). Click here for a tip on integrating the hip abductors to access sacral nutation to refine Uttanasana. Thus, we can see that the Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) offer an ancient self-contained method for working with the plantar fascia and its myofascial connections to maintain a healthy foot arch. For many more tips and cues like this, check out the Yoga Mat Companion book series and The Key Muscles and Key Poses of Yoga. Figure 6: The posterior kinetic chain and its connection to the feet in Uttanasana. We conclude with a step-wise technique on using biomechanics and physiology to lengthen the heel cords in Janu Sirsana (seated forward bend): Step one: Bend the knee about 15 degrees to release the gastrocnemius muscle at its origin on the posterior femur. Step two: Use the hands to gently draw the ankle into dorsiflexion and stabilize it in this position by engaging the biceps to flex the elbows. The cue I use for this is to "draw the top of the foot towards the front of the shin (dorsiflexion)." Figure 7: Steps to release and then lengthen the calf muscles in Janu sirsasana. Step three: Hold the foot in place and gradually engage the quadriceps to straighten the knee. Ease into this position. Maintaining the ankle in some dorsiflexion with the arms and extending the knee distributes the stretch throughout the calf muscles (the gastrocnemius and soleus) as illustrated here. Figure 8: The myofascial connection between the plantar fascia, heel cord and calf muscles. You can add a facilitated stretch to the calf by gently pressing the ball of the foot into the hands for 8-10 seconds and then taking up the slack by further dorsiflexing the ankle. This activates the Golgi tendon organ at the muscle tendon junction, resulting in relaxation of the contractile elements. We describe a similar technique to lengthen the hamstrings, as well as the physiological basis for facilitated stretching in our blog post on how to lengthen the hamstrings in Janu sirsasana.
