How to Get Rid of Piriformis Pain FOR GOOD

Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly relieve piriformis syndrome pain.
Piriformis syndrome, also known as pseudo sciatica, is a literal pain in the butt. It can also irritate the near by sciatic nerve causing pain, numbness, and tingling down the leg, calf, and foot.
The main cause of this is weakness in the glutes and piriformis muscles that allows tension, tightness, and spasms to build.
To keep it easy, this video will be broken up into two sperate parts focusing on piriformis (and glute) tightness and strengthening. If you're looking to get the best results, go through both parts and use what gives you the most relief.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home, require no equipment, and may give quick piriformis syndrome pain relief... even within 30 SECONDS!
Watch now and get rid of piriformis pain for good!

    I totally agree with this! Not just stretches, but good exercises for the smaller muscles in the but. I've had piriformis problems since my teenage years. I've got very mobile joints and a naturally very flexible spine. My muscles need to work a little harder for that reason. The bigger muscles can handle this, but the smaller muscles often get overloaded. I've been doing rotator cuf exercises for years and this has been helpful for my mobile shoulders, but I had trouble finding good exercises for the piriformis. Most of the times they just tell you to train the big muscles like the gluteus maximus, but this completely useless in my case since they are already very strong. I do strength training 4-5 times a week and I'm going to add these exercises to my programm for sure.

    This is definitely the best piriformis video out now - June 22. 1.Everything is concise and to the point. 2. He doesn't waste time with jokes and bla-bla, yet he is very friendly and accessible. 3. He immediately states that the remedy contains two parts: stretching strengthening. So many therapists don't state that, with the result that many people overstretch and never strengthen. 4. Each excercise stands on its own with a clear beginning and end... and in between what you aim for. 5. Duration of exercise and repetitions specified. 6. The simplest and most accessible exercises were chosen, yet the ones that, in their simplicity, yield maximum effect. 7. Filmed with different angles - so you really can work out what to do! 8. No confusion. So very well done!

    About 4 months ago I started getting alot of pain in my lower spine, hip and leg which I assumed was sciatica. After a couple of months the spine pain eased but I was literally left with a pain in the butt which wasnt going away! I'd never heard of piriformis until I very luckily came across your videos about two weeks ago. It all made sense and I realised that after sitting on my butt for the best part of two years due to the pandemic I've done myself alot of damage. These piriformis exercises have shown me how much pain I'm actually in but boy are they helping. I'm still having pain but doing some of your exercises every couple of days is helping. I have to be careful as I had an upper spinal fusion with rod 45 years ago (I'm 58 female btw). While everyone is different what I would say is all the exercises in this video I feel safe doing as they are lower body and love the fact I can do them on the bed before I get up! Finally, thank you so so much, you're a lifesaver. Your videos are clear, concise and very easy to follow. I'd give this 100 likes if I could! Please keep them coming and if you could ever do one relating to scoliosis that would be amazing!!!☺️

    As I have been aging now 64 years old the pains in my body have been gradually increasing. I have been living with pains in my gluts, feet and neck for over a year. I thought the pains were from age, driving, sleeping wrong, and past overuse. I learned from your video that my pain is from my muscles getting weaker and I don’t have to live with it. I researched and found solutions for the pain in my feet. Through that research KZreads algorithms recommended your video to me. Before watching your video I thought the pain on my right glut was from either sleeping wrong or a bad mattress . Your video convinced me that I was wrong. . The progressive pain has made me feel older and is tiring. It is preventing from doing things that I enjoy. The pain has been compounding because without taking care of it I am becoming weaker. I tried stretch exercises and discovered that my flexibility has declined significantly. I am confident that overtime following your instructions will make me more limber, stronger, feel a lot better and feel younger. Thank you!
