AskTheTrainer.com Personal Trainer Mike Behnken, MS, CSCS The piriformis is a deep hip external rotator. Deep means it is closer to the center of the body. It is chronically tight mostly in men because of seated posture. A tight piriformis can cause knee problems due to improper alignment of the knee cap as well as piriformis syndrome which can lead to sciatica. AskTheTrainer.com Lie flat on your back and put one leg up at a 90 degree angle. Pull the knee towards the opposite shoulder while you keep your back flat and other leg flat on the ground. Perform this after the SMFR to get best results. Make sure you hold for 30 seconds.

Product DescriptionThis book represents the first major publication in 1934 by Joseph H. Pilates and includes his early Twentieth Century philosophies, principles, and theories about health and fitness. He bases his work on the concept of a balanced Body and Mind, drawing on the approach espoused by the early Greeks. While some of his personal philosophies reflected early 20th Century viewpoints, his athletic and fitness doctrines were years ahead of his time.
