Butt Cramps

Many people often complain of pain in the posterior. Though usually, it is a simple case of cramps or spasms, due to constant inactivity, sometimes, it may due to a much serious condition such as a slipped disc. This may require medical intervention and often ends up with a surgery. But the muscle cramps we are discussing here are not all that serious and can be cured with some simple techniques. This pain is called as the ‘piriformis syndrome’.

 

This pain usually occurs in the piriformis muscle connecting the outside of the hip to the sacrum, which is at the bottom of your spine. The cramps occur if the muscle gets strained, it cramps up, causing painful spasms. This muscle is located underneath the thick gluteal muscle in the butt and that is why takes a bit of a time to treat, since the effect has to go through the thick layers of the gluteal muscle. Deep pressure in the upper outer part of the butt hurts when the piriformis muscle is cramped.

 

The best remedy for any cramped muscle is to stretch it. Stretching a muscle will ease up the tissues and will help relieve the pain. Butt spasms are also treated the same way you need to follow a regular active exercise routine in order to make sure that butt cramps don’t happen often. Follow these simple steps and exercises to make sure that the pain in the butt is relieved and you are at peace with yourself once again!
