Unlock the Secret to Piriformis Tender Point

What is the piriformis tender point (A-shi Acupoint)?

The piriformis is a small muscle located deep within the buttocks, connecting the lower spine to the top of the thigh bone. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the hip joint and allowing the leg to rotate. However, when this muscle becomes tight or inflamed, it can compress the sciatic nerve, leading to a condition known as piriformis syndrome.

Piriformis syndrome is characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower back, hips, and legs. Overuse or injury to the piriformis muscle, poor posture, and prolonged sitting or standing can contribute to the formation of tender points in this muscle. We detail the causes, symptoms and treatment of piriformis syndrome in a separate article. You can read it.

The key to alleviating this pain lies in releasing the piriformis tender point, also known as the A-shi acupoint in traditional Chinese medicine. The A-shi acupoint is not a fixed point but rather a painful nodule within the muscle. When targeted, it can provide significant relief from pain and discomfort.
