These piriformis syndrome exercises and activities always triggered the worst pain and flare-ups. In my experience, if you are struggling with chronic piriformis pain, it's best to avoid these exercises. However, many are actually beneficial, so I provided tips on how to modify them.
Some of these piriformis exercises are the clamshell, the side-lying leg lift, and the stationary bike.

Great job Coach Sofia! I really appreciate your insights. I have been doing these recovery streatches and exercises only to have a major setback and I want to avoid this if possible. I totally agree with you as to what the "professional therapists" instruct. Above all, we need to listen to our bodies. I will follow-up and check out your other videos. Thank you for your efforts!

Maybe I missed it but an anatomical visual of what Pereformis Syndrome would help too. Thanks for the great ideas!

Thank you. Great info. I decided to try bike riding for cardio and ended up in so much crazy pain. Yes, I agree. Seems like cycling is most likely what caused it in the first place and definitely won't help to heal it.

@CoachSofia Жыл бұрын

Yes unfortunately stationary bike used to always trigger it. It was just tightening up my hip flexors really quickly.

Been running for almost 3 months for 35 minutes every weekday followed by 4 minute squad workout and haven’t had any issues. The only times I’ve had some flares or I’m not sure as you said before if it’s a physiological thing is when I sit wrong stressing the piriformis muscle but whenever I get that feeling I’ll follow your stretches with the resistance band and it always helps relief that feeling.

That's great! I couldn't even walk without terrible pain so forget about running lol I'm glad my stretches and band exercises have been helpful :)

Hi Coach Sofia is side to side movement bad for pirformis syndrome? Thank you.

@CoachSofia 2 жыл бұрын

If you do it well, side to side walks for example are good for it because you activate the glute med muscle which tend to be weak. just make sure your feet are pointing forward and you focus on the glute med area.

Hi Sofia Do I need your back pain program and your Piriformis program or does back pain program cover Piriformis syndrome

@CoachSofia Жыл бұрын

Hi Cheryl, If the piriformis issues are stemming from a disc problem, the back pain program is enough. If the piriformis pain is caused by muscular imbalances, getting the piriformis program can be a great addition because it contains assessments specific to imbalances that aren't in the back pain program. I think you emailed me last evening and was just about to respond to your email.

Can you pls tell me whether barre workout is good for piriformis

@CoachSofia 2 жыл бұрын

I never tried barre workout so I can't give my personal opinion on it. But in general, I'd stay away from anything high-impact. If the workouts are low-impact, just keep them short to not trigger pain (Even if you're doing them pain-free). Stay below that pain threshold and only do what you feel comfortable with

@yannakulanymisha7779 2 жыл бұрын

@@CoachSofia thanks for the reply. They are low impact strength based training. I feel pain only while doing seat exercises. So if I do any modifications, then I will not have pain unless my glutes are very tight.
