Piriformis Syndrome? Stop stretching & strengthen with 2 Easy Exercises! - Dr. Wil & Dr. K

Do you suffer from low back and/or butt pain? You may have piriformis syndrome! Start strengthening the piriformis muscle with 2 easy external rotation exercises.

We often hear from our patients that stretching the piriformis muscle is not helping. They still have pain or it “keeps coming back.”

When a muscle is tight or in spasm, we find it is also often weak. Strengthening weak and tight muscles is essential to addressing the cause and fixing the problem.

The piriformis muscle externally rotates our thigh and when our leg is in flexion, it internally rotates the thigh.

When the piriformis muscle is weak or in spasm, it can cause numbness and tingling in the butt and down the back of the leg. It can also cause pain in the low back, hip, and thigh.

Stop just stretching the piriformis muscle and start strengthening with these 2 easy exercises for piriformis syndrome relief.
