Exercise for piriformis syndrome
You must actively participate in your PS rehabilitation if you want to see results. This entails committing to a consistent stretching and exercise routine. Remember that PS pain patterns may be maintained or exacerbated by muscles other than the piriformis muscle itself. Because of this, various parts of your lower extremities will frequently be worked during exercises and stretches.
Example of some stretches that have proven to be help with PS include:
- Foam roll piriformis stretch [5]
- Quad stretch [6]
- Iliotibial band stretch [7]
Your doctor might need to refer you to a physiotherapist for a more effective approach to exercise as a treatment method.
