The Psoas Sciatica Fix

The pain shoots down your leg, burning and electric, and you have been told it is sciatica from a disc pressing on a nerve. Sometimes that is true.

But several muscles can produce identical radiating pain, and one of the most overlooked is the psoas: when it is tight it tilts the pelvis and forces the hip into rotation that overloads the piriformis, which sits directly on the sciatic nerve.

This guide maps the psoas-piriformis-sciatic chain, explains why the pain site is rarely the pain source, and teaches a release protocol for the compensations that compress the nerve downstream.

You get the anatomy, the self-assessment, and the drills.

Read the safety section first: saddle numbness, new bladder or bowel changes, or rapid leg weakness are emergencies that need immediate care, and true disc problems need a doctor.

A practical, anatomy-first protocol for the muscular contributors to sciatic pain.
