Overview
Piriformis self-myofascial release (SMR) is a self-administered soft-tissue treatment for the lower body, usually using a foam roller, lacrosse ball, or other 'trigger point' massage tool. By applying pressure strategically to the piriformis muscles in the upper gluteal region, some people find they can cause this often painful and tight muscle to relax or 'release.' Piriformis SMR is often accompanied by SMR on the iliotibial (IT) band or tensor fascia lata (TFL muscles), or by stretches that target the glutes and hips.

Variations
Variations of fitness exercises refer to different ways of performing a specific exercise or movement to target various muscle groups, intensities, or goals. These variations aim to challenge the body differently, prevent plateaus, and cater to individuals with varying fitness levels.
Alternatives
Alternative exercises in fitness refer to different movements or activities that target similar muscle groups or serve the same training purpose as the primary exercise. These alternative exercises can be used as substitutes when the original exercise is unavailable or challenging to perform due to various reasons such as equipment limitations, injuries, or personal preferences.
