Piriformis Syndrome is a common yet often misunderstood condition causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the buttocks and down the leg. This syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttock region, compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve. Understanding its anatomy, causes, aggravating activities, and effective stretches is crucial for managing this condition effectively. Anatomy The piriformis muscle is a small, pear-shaped muscle located in the buttocks, beneath the gluteal muscles. Its primary function is to assist in the rotation of the hip joint. The sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, runs directly beneath or sometimes through the piriformis muscle. When the piriformis muscle spasms or becomes tight, it can compress the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort.
