Piriformis Syndrome

Physiotherapy for Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, in the buttock region, irritates the sciatic nerve, often causing pain in the gluteal region that may radiate into the hip and leg.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Our treatment for piriformis syndrome includes manual therapy, stretching, soft tissue therapy, modalities like ultrasound or shockwave therapy, and a tailored exercise program. We focus on reducing inflammation and nerve compression, improving hip mobility, and preventing recurrence.
