Thanks so much for this program. I have a very painful piriformis and hamstring. I've done so much but nothing helps ( acupuncture, massage, PT, ice, heat walk, nothing. Finally cortisone injections in the ischial tuberosity. Still I am tight as can be. Will doing this a few times a week start to release the pain and tightness? Thanks- I know you are not a doctor but do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
Christina Only you can answer this question. I would expect yes, but honestly I do not know how your body will respond. How did it feel the first time? what sort of ball did you use? was there loads of sensation? no sensation? ( sometimes when we are really tight we feel less at the beginning and over time as tissue starts to open and release we have more entrance deeper). In my opinion, give this a try, and repeat a few days in a row. You will know if it is helping.... I hope so.
Christina, I would do the whole challenge, as well, don't stop at the problem area as if you are this tight, you have affected your whole body and everything needs to be eased to a new place.
Great hamstring release! Are these safe for clients with “enhanced” gluteus, or could the exercises force the enhancements to move in an unsafe matter? If a client feels dizzy/vertigo with the second sequence with their head dangling down should we simply skip that part or do it seated?
