You ate lunch in front of your computer. Now it\u2019s mid-afternoon \u2014 time for that meeting a few floors up! You stand and<strong> feel a tingling sensation in one of your butt cheeks.<\/strong> It gets worse as you walk. You want to be heart-healthy, so you take the stairs. As you climb, you feel the sensation in your buttock intensify. Sound familiar? <strong>You may have piriformis syndrome.<\/strong> Piriformis syndrome occurs when your piriformis muscle spasms or becomes inflamed and presses on your sciatic nerve. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study, although piriformis syndrome is an underdiagnosed condition, it is <strong>a common cause of chronic buttock pain and sciatica.<\/strong><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-1\">1)<\/a><\/sup> We\u2019ve developed 8-minute stretching exercises that can help release the tension in your piriformis muscle and relieve you of those painful symptoms. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you need is our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/foam-roller\/foam-roller-set\/?itm_medium=text&itm_source=encyclopedia-subpage&itm_campaign=en.roi.foam-roller-foam-roller-set-&itm_content=compendium-piriformis-syndrome-stretches&itm_term=introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Midi Massage Ball. <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d like to start exercising, scroll down and follow along with our video or follow the step-by-step instructions. To learn more about piriformis syndrome, keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What You Should Know About Piriformis Syndrome<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The piriformis is a glute muscle.<\/strong> One end of the piriformis is attached to the sacrum (a triangular-shaped bone between your hips) and the other to the greater trochanter (a rounded protrusion at the top of your thighbone.) The piriformis has a full to-do list; <strong>the muscle is involved in almost every movement our lower body makes.<\/strong> The piriformis allows us to rotate our hips outward and move our thighs from side to side. The muscle stabilizes our hips when we stand, walk, or run. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sciatic nerve \u2014 the largest in our body \u2014 is attached to the sacrum and runs under the piriformis down our thighs. The nerve branches off at the knees and continues into our feet. <strong>If the piriformis muscle becomes irritated, inflamed, or spasms, it affects the sciatic nerve.<\/strong> A compressed sciatic nerve can cause tingling, pain, numbness, or burning in your buttock or hip. The pain may shoot from your lower back down the back of your leg. Sitting or climbing stairs may trigger or intensify the pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following can cause inflammation of the piriformis muscle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitting for long periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running or squatting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports or exercises that require lunging.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using improper technique when lifting heavy objects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An injury to your buttocks, hips, or legs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Piriformis syndrome can occur in one buttock or both.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse align-equal align-center newsletter-hidden\"  id=\"row-1521606519\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1563654282\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-249887422\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1614170024\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1539958651\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/foam-roller\/foam-roller-set\/?itm_medium=bild&#038;itm_source=encyclopedia-subpage&#038;itm_campaign=en.roi.foam-roller-foam-roller-set-&#038;itm_content=compendium-piriformis-syndrome-stretches&#038;itm_term=introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/foam-roller-set-product-photo-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Photo of Liebscher &amp;

This is your body's gauge that measures the intensity at which you exercise <b>from 1 to 10.<\/b>\r\nOne would be like pushing your finger into your forehead. You'd feel a little pressure, but that's it. You've gone above a 10 if your breathing becomes irregular or you feel yourself tense up. <b>For each exercise, aim for an intensity between 8 and 9.<\/b> If you find that you are experiencing pain that's higher than 9, reduce the intensity so you can continue exercising without pain.\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-121303134 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 24px 24px 24px 32px;\n  margin: 12px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n\n<style>\n#row-1444676061 > .col > .col-inner {\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">PIRIFORMIS ROUTINE<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row align-equal align-center\"  id=\"row-909547816\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1361183969\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-1289600881\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-903725627\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover test x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_976903290\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:100%;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stretch-for-piriformis-syndrome-stretch-1-12102022-liebscherbracht.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A girl is lying on her back pulling her thigh to her chest.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stretch-for-piriformis-syndrome-stretch-1-12102022-liebscherbracht.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stretch-for-piriformis-syndrome-stretch-1-12102022-liebscherbracht-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stretch-for-piriformis-syndrome-stretch-1-12102022-liebscherbracht-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/stretch-for-piriformis-syndrome-stretch-1-12102022-liebscherbracht-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_976903290 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-371524401\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #step-one-1\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#step-one-1\" data-title=\"Exercise 1: Supine Piriformis Stretch\" ><a name=\"step-one-1\"><\/a><\/span>\n<h3>Exercise 1: Supine Piriformis Stretch<\/h3>\n<ul id=\"exercise1-1\"><\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Glute Stretch may trigger symptoms of piriformis syndrome; this is normal.
