Dear All
As I have said previously it is these facts that MAY
give a clue to differentiation between neural tension at another interfaces
and that of piriformis. Ie so called classic sciatic nerve sensitisers of
medial rotation and adduction. If at the hip, external rotation increases
sciatic type symptoms this COULD indicate piriformis as the interface. I
always re check in hip neutral adduction medial rotation *(piriformis
stretch).
I would suggest the most important hip variable with
piriformis is adduction. Warm Regards Kevin

Am I missing something here? The hip is in lateral
(external) rotation, not medial rotation, when in the lotus position. I
can understand that the sciatic nerve may be off tension, and the relative
hip abduction may decrease tension in piriformis, but the hip flexion and
external rotation must wind the piriformis up somewhat?
