HIP, BUTTOCKS AND LOWER EXTREMITY DISCOMFORT

Trigger points can be found in taut bands of muscles in the posterior hips,
buttocks and upper legs. These muscles stabilize the body and are essential
for activities such as sitting, walking, riding a bike or driving a car. When
they are overworked, fatigued or injured, soreness and tightness occur, and
every movement may produce discomfort. Once these muscles have been
detriggered using deep, trigger point compression, stretching can help to
restore flexibility and function.
