Well, I am symptom free from my piriformis problem. Thank goodness I don't have to go through all of that stretching that I did to recover from the problem. NOT! I have to continue stretching so that I insure that the problem doesn't return.
This is the kind of thinking that gets us in trouble. We feel that when the problem is gone then we can eliminate stretching. I see this all of the time. A client has an injury. We work on it. It goes away. They discontinue daily maintenance and the problem reoccurs. Their response is often, " I thought that I was done with it". "Done with it" is temporary. We return to the activity that caused the problem to begin with and we quit stretching. It is sending an invitation for the injury to return.
Maintain your body with a daily stretching program that is designed around the activities that you enjoy. If you are using the traditional method of stretching (hold for 30-60 seconds) and you are not getting results, try Active Isolated Stretching. Check out my favorite links for more information on this method. It has worked for me.
Don't forget to hydrate those muscles.
