Thank you SO much Sandel. I've had Piriformis Syndrome for almost two years now. Living on muscle relaxers and morphine. It's a horrible way to live. I tried many of the exercises and they gave me tremendous relief! When my piriformis is really tight it causes my RSD to flare, which causes me to be nauseous (sp?) which causes me to vomit, which causes me to have more pain, then more meds, more sickness......I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.......

While all stretching is a good thing, generally, the video that you linked to does not really demonstrate a piriformis stretch. It actually releases it. The piriformis externally rotates and raises laterally the thigh. So most of the stretches exhibited on that video do the same and actually shorten, not lengthen or stretch the piriformis. If a piriformis stretch is your desire, and I think it is, then one would need to internally rotate the thigh and bring the knee across the body to stretch the piriformis. But like I said, all stretches are good! Hope this helps! |
