Contrary to what most of the internet will tell you, most sciatica is not caused by a "tight" piriformis. If you're stretching your piriformis, strengthening your glutes, doing all the things, but your sciatica or leg pain isn't getting better, this episode is for you. Sciatica is not usually what you think it is, and stretching your piriformis might actually be making it worse. In this episode, I'm breaking down what sciatica actually is, why your piriformis gets all the blame, and the framework you need to figure out what's really irritating your nerve and how to actually fix it.
