There is a sneaky little muscle in your bum that often makes your back , or legs hurt.
It’s sneaky as, whether or not you have a booty or a skinny ass,  its a muscle that hides underneath the big ( or skinny?) obvious bits.
It creates a lot of mischief. So Voila, the piriformis is the muscle to blame. Its this muscle that I’ll often try and find and “trigger point” if I see you acting  or moving in one of many ways. If you are going to have back pain,  you might as well understand the anatomy
So this is where it lives.

When I’ve found it, here is where I’ll try and press

I’ll often press or rub each point with my thumb about 10 times. Often I’ll try and teach you how to find these points with a Lacross or massage ball.
Obviously, there are other muscles in this area that I’ll identify and treat, but this is often the cause of a lot of back pain
Well, thats why Ive probably shoved my thumb in your bum!
If you have back pain, do get in contact and I’ll see what I can do to help.
I do a lot of work with the Backaholic programme at Crossfit London in E2 , and I help people cure there back pain. Strangely Im just a massage therapist, but as I teach people to olympic lift,  clamber over objects and do lots of cool  gymnastic stuff, Ive been forced to deal with the bad backs my clients bring to their sessions

The big warning.
