@anatomy.and.3d: The pain shooting down your leg is not always a slipped disc. A deep hip muscle called the piriformis sits directly on top of the sciatic nerve. When posture collapses during long hours of sitting, that muscle tightens and starts compressing the nerve. The dangerous part? The pain travels far away from the actual problem. That’s why stretching your leg alone often fails. Part 2 explains why the pain spreads through the ENTIRE leg. #Sciatica #HipPain #PhysicalTherapy #SciaticaRelief #NervePain
