The reasons for sciatic pain can be complex and difficult to uncover. In some cases, using a tennis ball or lacrosse ball (see link below for recommendation) can help release tight piriformis muscles and alleviate pain. I explain why the piriformis muscle is unique compared to other external rotator muscles of the hip and its relationship to the sciatic nerve.

EXCELLENT LACROSSE BALL THAT I RECOMMEND:
Acupoint Therapy Ball (comes in a set of 2): http://amzn.to/2ur7ShL
Also good for releasing tension in feet, hands, shoulders or anywhere you have tight muscles or fascia.
