Piriformis syndrome is a common but often overlooked cause of sciatica-like symptoms, resulting from compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle. In this reel, we demonstrate a targeted pin & stretch technique aimed at releasing deep tension within the piriformis to restore mobility, reduce nerve compression, and alleviate referred pain down the leg. This myofascial release approach can be a highly effective, non-invasive strategy for managing neuro-musculoskeletal dy

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle spasms and irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve. It often causes symptoms similar to sciatica, though it is not caused by a spinal problem like sciatica is. | Spine-health
