@elastaboy: Leg pain shooting from your back or hip? 2 quick tests tell you which one it actually is. Sciatica isn’t one thing. A disc in your lumbar spine and a tight piriformis deep in your glute can both send pain down the same leg, but they need opposite fixes. Bend forward on a chair first. Leg pain on the way down can point to the disc. Then cross that ankle over your knee and press it down. Pain deep in the hip points to the piriformis, the small rotator the sciatic nerve runs under. Spine path: lumbar extension 20 seconds, glute squeezes 10 reps. Hip path: seated pigeon 30 seconds, standing hip external rotations 10 reps. These are self-tests, not a diagnosis, so if pain is severe or spreading, get it checked by a professional too. The hip you ignore becomes the back pain you can’t explain. Follow me, then comment “HIPS” and I’ll send you the 10-Second Hip Test + the 90-second routine to undo it 👇 #Elastaboy #Reboryn #SciaticaRelief #HipMobility #LowerBackPain
