Piriformis Performance

10 PAX posted for Badabroga in the Badlands for an anatomy lesson on stretching and get some myofascial release in the hips, low back and specifically the piriformis muscle. What the heck is a piriformis (see Wikipedia)? Essentially it is the muscle in the gluteal region of the lower limb that can often get irritated and feel a lot like sciatica. It is actually a very important muscle that men should be stretching on a daily basis to relieve pain from sitting for long periods of time. YHC gave some commentary throughout on some daily stretching routines to eliminate pain and restore motion but first “big shoutout” to Happy Feet for mosquito bombing the AO. Clutch move as the weather in the swamp warms. Bug spray applied for extra protection and let the games begin.

Naked Moleskin: Po-Po 5.0 gets a healthy dose of Monkey Humping PAX as the tradition states
