How it works
Lengthens the piriformis muscle, reducing compression on the sciatic nerve passing beneath (or through) it. Combined with hip external rotator strengthening for lasting relief.
Only relevant when piriformis syndrome is the cause — not for disc-related sciatica. A physiotherapist can differentiate. Aggressive deep tissue massage of the piriformis can temporarily worsen symptoms.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
