How Piriformis Syndrome Exercises Helped Me Get Rid Of My Piriformis Syndrome
Posted by admin | Filed under Piriformis Syndrome Exercises
Hey, Greg here,
If you suffer from piriformis syndrome and desperately want to improve your condition, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been trying to get rid of the horrible pain for years without success. I tried numerous solutions but nothing seemed to work well enough. Fortunately, I finally came across a system of piriformis syndrome exercises that worked the way I was hoping it would. If you have a spare minute, here’s my story…
Just a few years ago I used to be a healthy man. I was developing my online business, which meant that I had to work with my computer quite a lot. I was also pretty active, as I always enjoyed sports – I used to jog daily and ride my bike at least once a week. And then, one day, the pain appeared. It came pretty much from out of nowhere and I had no idea what it could be. The pain in my buttocks was very deep and it made sitting down a lot more difficult which was a real problem because of my work. I was also unable to do jogging or cycling anymore.
I went to a doctor a number of times and was finally diagnosed with piriformis syndrome. I was advised to use anti-inflammatory gels and creams but they didn’t seem to make any significant difference. I also had regular massage sessions – they worked better, but the problem was that if the pain was to really go away, I would need to have these every day for a long period of time and I wasn’t able to afford that at the time.
One day when I was surfing the web I stumbled upon the Piriformis Stretches site. I was aware that sciatica was a condition similar to piriformis syndrome, so I decided to take a closer look. It turned out that they also offered an exercise program for piriformis sufferers. I decided to give it a shot.
The program consisted of videos and an e-book containing a detailed description of the chosen exercises and stretches targeting the piriformis muscle. These weren’t, however, the typical exercises you usually see on the internet. They were put in a specific order and were supposed to lessen the pain almost immediately and if performed consistently every day, greatly speed up the recovery and eventually make your life pain free again.
The routine wasn’t long at all – it took maybe 10 minutes to do all the exercises, so I decided to stick to it for a longer time and see if it would give me the results I was hoping for. One thing that I was convinced about so far was that I was feeling a lot less pain after completing the whole set.
I was shocked that after a couple of weeks of being on the program my piriformis syndrome was practically gone! You just can’t imagine how great I fellt. And all this cost me a tiny fraction of the lengthy massage sessions…
One thing I didn’t like about the system is that they try to make you believe that your piriformis problems will be gone within a day or two. This wasn’t the case with me, and although it probably is possible, I think that most people will have stay on the program a little longer than that.
To sum up, I just want to say that if I was able to get rid of piriformis syndrome relatively quickly with the help of the right treatment, so are you. I hope you found my story helpful and inspiring! Click here to check out the Piriformis Stretches site.

Hey, Greg here,
I just can’t wait to share with you my latest finding…
Several days ago I came across a really interesting book about the causes of back pain and treatments for it. As always, I was a bit sceptical at first – how many back pain relief guides like this have we seen already, right? This time, however, I was pleasantly surprised…
The 7 Day Back Pain Cure is a very comprehensive resource for all sciatica and piriformis syndrome sufferers. It doesn’t offer the same rehashed information that’s available everywhere. The book gives detailed info on the causes of the most common back pain conditions. Fortunately, it does not stop there. It also shows various ways of eliminating the pain and in the end also lays out a detailed seven day action plan for each condition.
Now, here’s the best part. You might think that for such a comprehensive guide you have to pay quite a lot. Well, this could not be further from the truth… At least for now, the 7 Day Back Pain Cure is available for free to everyone! I have to tell you I was quite shocked when I saw this…
You can check it out here – I really recommend it!

Pirifomis syndrome involves pain in the nerve at the bottom of the spine, which is known as the sciatic nerve. Even though the pain is in the area of the sciatic nerve, piriformis syndrome isn’t the same as sciatica. It actually affects the piriformis muscle which causes the sciatic nerve to be irritated and then pain occurs. There are many stretching exercises for piriformis syndrome that can alleviate the pain that comes along with this syndrome.
Stretching of the piriformis muscle can be achieved in many positions, which will also include the hamstring and hip extensor muscles as well. The following stretches are great for decreasing pain along the sciatic nerve and for increasing a person’s range of motion.
Piriformis Stretches
Stretch Number 1
Lay with back to the floor and legs flat. Pull affected leg toward chest. Hold knee with arm on the same side of the body as affected leg. Grab ankle with opposite hand. Lower part of leg will come across body slightly. Gently push the knee towards the opposite side of the body. Keep your back flat and a firm hold on ankle. Do not force the stretch. Hold for 30 seconds. Straighten leg back out and repeat. Complete three stretches.
Stretch Number 2
Lay with back to the floor and legs flat. Raise affected leg. Stretch leg across body. Place foot on floor outside of opposite knee. Gently pull bent knee inward with a hand or towel wrapped around knee. Don’t force the stretch. Knee should not reach the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Straighten leg out and repeat.

When a person has pirifomis syndrome, pain is often felt in the buttocks, thighs, or hips. Some people mistake this pain for sciatica, due to the piriformis muscle causing irritation to the sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome exercises can often reduce the inflammation and/or tightness associated with this condition. This tightness and/or inflammation can also lead to tingling and numbness in the lower back or down the leg. The following exercises are excellent for the piriformis muscle. These exercises are perfect for someone who is dealing with piriformis syndrome.
Buttocks Stretch
Start on all fours. Cross affected leg under the body and out the opposite side. Extend other leg back, keeping pelvis straight. Scoot hips back and towards the floor. Lean on forearms until stretch is felt. Hold for 30 seconds. Return to all fours. Repeat stretch three more times.
Thigh Cross
Lay with back on floor and legs straight. Lift affected leg up and across opposite hip. Keep shoulders flat on ground. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat stretch two more times.
