🎥 In this video, you’ll learn simple and effective rehab exercises to support your recovery from Piriformis Syndrome—helping to relieve sciatic pain, reduce muscle tension, and restore mobility in your hips and lower back. Piriformis syndrome can cause pain in your butt, hip or leg.
👉 What is the piriformis and how does it cause problems? The piriformis is a small muscle located deep in your buttock, running from your sacrum to the top of your thigh bone. In some people, the sciatic nerve runs beneath—or even through—it. When the piriformis becomes tight or inflamed, it can compress the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates from your buttock down your leg.
👉 What are the symptoms of Piriformis Syndrome? Typical symptoms include deep buttock pain, often on one side, that may radiate down the back of the leg. You might notice discomfort when sitting, walking, or climbing stairs—and it can sometimes mimic sciatica.
👉 What does rehab for Piriformis Syndrome involve? Rehabilitation focuses on relieving nerve compression by reducing tension in the piriformis and surrounding muscles. This includes gentle stretches, mobility work, and strengthening exercises for the hips, glutes, and core. Proper posture, body mechanics, and activity modification are also key.
🧘♂️ In this video, we’ll guide you through step-by-step exercises to stretch, relax, and strengthen the muscles involved in Piriformis Syndrome. Whether you’re managing a flare-up or looking to prevent future pain, these movements are an essential part of your recovery.
