Our #1 priority at Miracle Stretch® is helping people feel happy, healthy
and pain free. We know all too well what suffering from low back pain feels
like. Our co-workers, families, friends, and loved ones have been there…we
understand Piriformis Syndrome and ache for our customers who experience
Sciatica every day. We wholeheartedly want to make the pain go away. While we
may not be able to help every single person suffering from these conditions, we
have helped many, and are committed to every person who crosses our path.
Each and every person matters.
We have a custom here at Miracle Stretch® - each time
we hear how we have helped someone feel better and feel less pain, we
contribute to our 'Butterfly Fund' to symbolize feeling happy and moving
freely, without pain. At the end of the year, we will donate to the Michigan
State University (MSU) Horticulture Gardens. There, students at MSU’s
Department of Horticulture care for an amazing butterfly garden, providing hands-on
education about flora and fauna for children. The garden encourages
exploration, curiosity, learning, and respect for these beautiful
creatures - and of course, taking the time to relax and soak it all in. Relaxation and stress-free living are crucial to preventing and alleviating chronic pain. So, if you have
found relief using the Miracle Stretch® Piri-Stretcher® then please send us a
note at support@miraclestretch.com
or share a comment on our Facebook reviews at www.facebook.com/miraclestretch.
Each time we hear one of our customers is feeling better; you could say that
you just helped give a butterfly its wings!
About
Piriformis Syndrome:
Piriformis Syndrome is a
condition in which the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve leading to
pain or numbness in the buttocks region, and referred pain along the path of
sciatic nerve. This referred pain (also known as sciatica) normally descends
into the lower rear or the back of the thigh. The syndrome usually develops
when the piriformis muscle becomes tight and places pressure on, or compresses,
the sciatic nerve.
Who gets Piriformis Syndrome?
Piriformis Syndrome is common for
those who sit extended periods, whether at home, or working – including first
responders, teachers, truck drivers, delivery drivers, farmers, customer
service or call center representatives, office staff, and IT representatives. It
is also common among runners, swimmers, walkers, golfers, equestrians, and
bicyclists. Being overweight is a common trigger for Piriformis Syndrome.
What are ways to help prevent it?
Prevention is important for
Piriformis Syndrome. Ways that can help prevent it include exercising or
stretching the piriformis and surrounding glute muscles, learning new routines
particularly for repetitive activities, modifying sitting positions, managing weight, and reducing stress.
Strengthening the muscles of the buttocks, lower back and hips also helps
prevent Piriformis Syndrome. To keep the tendons and muscles supple and
flexible, it is essential to undertake a stretching routine.
How does the Piri-Stretcher® help?
Since the piriformis muscle is located deep to the glutes, it is not an
easy one to isolate. We developed the patented Piri-Stretcher® therapy tool to
help with a focused stretch of the piriformis muscle. The Piri-Stretcher® is
designed to provide leverage in targeting the muscle, including an adaptive
comfort grip handle, with two levels of stretching. The handle allows users to
lay flat and gently relax into a piriformis stretch at their comfort level;
without struggling or added stress on the upper back, shoulders, neck, or
hands. When the muscle is relaxed, pressure is released from the sciatic nerve,
producing relief of low back, buttocks, and radiating leg pain associated with
Piriformis Syndrome and Sciatica.
As with all exercise, and particularly with pain management, it’s
important to develop a routine. Set time aside every day. Warm up with a brisk
walk, side steps, or joint rotations. Focus on stretching. Focus on YOU. You
will feel happy and healthier for it…and hopefully dancing and moving pain
free, just like a butterfly, very soon!
(don't forget to tell us about it!!)
