The Piriformis Therapy Block is an alternative to using a tennis ball for alleviating discomfort from Piriformis Syndrome or Sciatica when performing activities requiring long hours of sitting. The device accomplishes this by applying pressure to your sciatic nerve, with a textured surface to provide additional grip.
I personally have used this for over a year and it has provided me relief multiple times. It's also nice that it doesn't roll around and fall off my chair whenever I need to shift in my seat or get up. I do hope this device is able to provide some assistance to others.
Instructions
When sitting, place the device perpendicular to your leg and directly on your sciatic nerve.
- Depending on severity of discomfort, you may also place it directly on your piriformis.
- While initially designed to be used with office chairs, it should work with most sitting surfaces that can fully support your butt.
WARNING: Don't sit on the device for long periods of time. Depending on your sitting posture and the type of chair used, numbness will set in around 15-30 minutes of use.
