<span style="font-weight: 400;">So I am confident you will have heard of the piriformis muscle and that you are aware of, at least, some of its functions within the body, right? Don't panic if you don't I'll explain in a second.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">But d</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">o you know how well it functions in you, or your client?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you know what can happen when it doesn’t function well?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Imagine if you were able to test its ability to function?</span>

&nbsp;

In fact, I am going to show you (video below) an example of how the pelvis can be affected by the shoulder.

&nbsp;
<h3>How The Piriformis Can Contribute To Back Pain, Even Shoulder Dysfunction</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The piriformis muscle is one most fit pros are familiar with. Deep to the glutes, this fan-shaped muscle is often blamed for many misdemeanours in the pelvic area BUT through the integrated system, it can also affect function in other areas of the body. When rubbed, massaged or pressed it can often feel tender, sore or even painful.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Attaching from the anterior surface of the sacrum to the greater trochanter it, therefore, crosses the Sacroiliac Joint, thus contributing to movements like external rotation and abduction of the femur or leg. However, when inhibited it can also contribute to problems with movement around the pelvis and even lower back pain. This little blighter can actually contribute to, OR be affected by, shoulder dysfunction and even problem feet!! </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So just think for a moment about how much of your daily movement comes from the pelvis…</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The tricky part is knowing when this muscle is inhibited, amongst others, because the body is such a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">master of compensation</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that it will make adaptations to allow you to move </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">normally </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">without even realising that there is an intrinsic compensation to your natural movement. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a good chance you will, in fact, have no pain or discomfort, certainly initially, and so the insidious nature of this very common problem fools us into thinking it was one single event that caused us to (finally) experience backache or sore knees. </span>

&nbsp;
<h3>When The Back Isn't The Cause Of Back Pain</h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, we then blame the back and the knees because they are the sore areas BUT if we are to be practitioners that really do believe the body works as an </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">integrated system</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> then why are we not testing the entire body when clients present with a poor movement profile, low-grade aches and niggles?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyone agrees and talks about the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">kinetic chains</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> within the body and yet still appear to be stunned when having applied manual therapy techniques or exercises to the problem area it does not solve the problem, particularly long-term. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is still amazement to discover that clients bad back is being caused by their pelvic dysfunction, ‘floppy’ feet or even inhibited shoulders. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Guess who is perfectly placed to improve an individual's pelvic function BEFORE there is a need to visit a clinician or medic?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">YES, YOU! </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We can show you simple techniques that enable you to start testing your client's body to avoid the need for a medical profession, OR at least to enable better communication between you and the medics, as you both work within your remit to help the individual.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Watch the short video below because I SHOW you exactly how the integrated system works from one end to the other when a shoulder technique releases and changes the function of the pelvis and muscles like piriformis in just 1 minute and 20 seconds</span>

<h3>Watch Now - Shoulder Release Affects Leg Length Discrepancy</h3>

How cool is that?

And what happens when you correct someone's leg length discrepancy? Do you think they would be at lower risk of injury? Do you think they would be able to put more force &amp;strength through their movements? YOU BET! You could help someone squat better, move better, simply by doing this exercise. Cool huh!?

Being able to affect someone's pelvis by releasing their pec minor. Just think how knowing this could affect your ability to train clients. It would take it up a notch right!
