Piriformis Syndrome Fix
Deep aching pain in your glute that sometimes shoots down your leg? That's your piriformis compressing the sciatic nerve. Here's how to fix it.
Piriformis syndrome is the single most misdiagnosed cause of hip and glute pain. Because the piriformis sits directly over the sciatic nerve in most people, when it tightens, from sitting, from hip imbalance, from weak glutes, it compresses the nerve and produces the same symptoms as lumbar sciatica. But stretching alone won't fix it. This 20-video program releases the piriformis while addressing the hip imbalances that keep it perpetually tight.

Do any of these sound familiar?
- Deep, aching pain in the middle of the glute
- Pain that gets worse after sitting for more than 20 minutes
- Shooting or tingling pain down the back of the thigh
- Difficulty sitting cross-legged or in a figure-four position
- Pain during or after activities like running, hiking, or climbing stairs
Why this happens
The root causes behind piriformis syndrome fix.
- Tight piriformis from prolonged sitting with the hip in external rotation
- Weak gluteus maximus and medius forcing the piriformis to overwork
- Hip internal rotation deficit causing the piriformis to be chronically loaded
- Pelvic asymmetry creating unequal tension across the two piriformis muscles
Why this works
The piriformis becomes chronically short and tight when your hip external rotators and glutes are unbalanced, usually from prolonged sitting. This program releases the piriformis while restoring proper hip function.

How do I know if I have piriformis syndrome or a disc problem?
Piriformis syndrome produces pain that is located in the glute and is aggravated by sitting, hip rotation, or pressure directly over the piriformis. Disc-related sciatica tends to worsen with forward bending and is often accompanied by lower back pain. The self-test in session 2 will help you differentiate.
Will stretching the piriformis fix it?
Partially and temporarily. The piriformis keeps tightening back up because of the underlying hip imbalance that is causing it to overwork. You need to both release the piriformis and strengthen the surrounding hip musculature, that's what this program does.
How long until the pain goes away?
Most people notice significant reduction in glute pain within 1–2 weeks. Full resolution of the underlying hip imbalance takes 6–10 weeks. The key is doing the exercises daily, not just when it hurts.
Can I exercise with piriformis syndrome?
Yes, with modifications. Avoid activities that load the hip in external rotation under stress (cycling, certain yoga poses, sit-ups). Walking, swimming, and the exercises in this program are all appropriate.
