Piriformis syndrome can be a real pain in the butt. People will commonly have a range of limitations from it, such as issues with sitting, standing and running. Strengthening the msucle is also integral for rehabilitation and this is the gentle progression from my previous video that focuses on stretching the muscles.

Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, spasms and causes buttock pain. The piriformis muscle also can irritate the nearby sciatic nerve and cause pain, numbness and tingling along the back of the leg and into the foot (similar to sciatic pain).
The piriformis muscle:
Starts at the lower spine and connects to the upper surface of each femur (thighbone)
Functions to assist in rotating the hip and turning the leg and foot outward
Runs diagonally, with the sciatic nerve running vertically directly beneath it (although in some people the nerve can run through the muscle)
Symptoms
Most patients describe symptoms of acute tenderness in the buttock and sciatica-like pain down the back of the thigh, calf and foot. Typical piriformis syndrome symptoms may include:
A dull ache in the buttock
Pain down the back of the thigh, calf and foot (sciatica)
Pain when walking up stairs or inclines
Increased pain after prolonged sitting
Reduced range of motion of the hip joint
