I want to add to this thread in case anyone searches for the tag piriformis.
I've had intense glute pain for a long time now. It would appear in either side randomly. I've tried adjusting my workstation and doing all kinds of stretching, but nothing has worked. I've had a hard time sleeping because of it. It had been especially bad since I had a back spasm in early December. I recently had really good results with a combination of the nerve gliding mentioned by Honeydew and Dean Pohlman's Bulletproof Your Back workouts on Man Flow Yoga. The nerve gliding technique I used was in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPPtVFmI4kA This has a slightly different technique than demonstrated in the video suggested by Honeydew. They probably both work. Thanks to donnamp for mentioning the Man Flow Yoga January challenge in another thread. That prompted me to explore the site and discover all the back workouts. I knew Dean's training philosophy helps me because I have his Better Back Yoga DVD, but the one short routine wasn't really enough. The stuff on his website is more challenging for me and I obviously need all the hip/glute/core/back strengthening.

SFR and Honeydew thank you!
Question: I did notice the head position was different (one tucked while leg out other stretched head back while leg forward) I couldn't tell if your shoulders should be rounded or pelvis tucked ..what do you guys do?

It looks like Bob and Brad do it like the Spine Society recommends - head down when foot is down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85OEGNd9DIE They give a lot of pointers.
