However, this idea rarely works in reality and you would actually benefit a lot more from strengthening your gluteus maximus by doing hip thrusts, squats and deadlifts than stretching, since it's quite possible that the other muscles in the area are weak so you've been putting too much stress on your piriformis muscle.

Powerful glutes also help correct the muscle imbalances that many people have from sitting too much — tight hip flexors, weak glutes, and hamstrings.

When the pelvis is tilted forward, whether this is from tight hip flexors, a locked psoas, or weak abdominal muscles, the leg can not fully extend, which makes it harder to fully activate the glutes.

If the gluteal muscles are weak or inhibited, most of your hip extension is going to come from your hamstrings.

In other words, the instability created by weak supportive ligaments keeps the body from being able to manufacture a deep, smooth hip socket for the ball to fit snuggly into, resulting in the flattening of the acetabulum (hip socket) and a squaring of the femoral head (the ball).

Analysis scores test breedings on a diversity standpoint, using a scale of 1 (weakest) to 10 (best), just as the OFA scores hips from severe to excellent.

As a result, the definition of the companion animal breed is a breed whose members can not perform any utilitarian function for themselves or their human owners — they're simply too weak to pull their own weight anymore — and they also suffer from a much wider array of painful maladies than their larger cousins; painful and unnatural medical problems like the tendency of certain joints like knees and hips to pop out of their sockets far too easily, among many others.
