S-CS: Glutei were just to tight !!

Tried to do strain-counterstrain on Piriformis on a young chap (34 yoa). Having previously struggled with the side-lying technique I thought I would have another go at it .... well it didn't work with this specific patient either ....

The reason for this is that it wasn't only piriformis that was shortened but also the glutei ... as a result I wasn't able to flex the patients knees into a high enough position of flexion to produce a decrease in the level of tenderness of the Tender Point.

Hopefully it will be third time lucky.
