Piriformis syndrome, how to fix it!

Change the way you think about it. It is not a “syndrome”. The same principles we apply to any musculoskeletal area apply to piriformis issues.

A “tight” piriformis is doing more work than it should. Find the weak muscle/s that is making piriformis over work.

You won’t solve this in stretching. Actually in my approach I look at the position the problem occurs in and then correct that.

So a “piriformis” stretch is a position you rarely ever achieve in your life. To me that is not a “functional” solution!!! Find a functional solution🤘

Weakness of the Glute max and Glute Med into external rotation and abduction control in single leg weight-bearing activities will be your most common finding (such as step-ups, walking). Weakness cannot be tolerated.

Rehab the weakness, don’t just stretch and roll out the tightness.
Strengthening will be the lasting solution, the stretch and roll out are secondary in importance to the overall strengthening plan.

Remember to think of piriformis issues like the rotator cuff. It is mainly a joint stabiliser, the power comes from the glutes.

Weak Glutes into the problem pattern is causing increased work upon the piriformis.
Instead of stabilising happily, piriformis is now trying to produce force to make up for the Glute weakness.

Now go get your Glutes strong.
Correctly progress through the force levels to find the right tool for the right job!

To be an effective clinician, you need to understand Panjabi’s Neutral Zone Theory.

The spine is stabilised by three systems:

1. The Passive System, vertebrae, discs, ligaments. Structures you cannot contract. They provide the architecture of restraint.
2. The Active System, muscles and tendons. Structures you can contract. They provide dynamic stability and motion control.
3. The Neural Control System: the neurological coordination of both.

The Neutral Zone is the range of motion where passive resistance is minimal. In this zone, the muscles carry primary responsibility for stability.

When the passive system is compromised, disc degeneration, ligament damage, end-range injury, the neutral zone increases. Greater laxity. Greater instability.

The active system must compensate. If it cannot, the passive structures continue to be loaded beyond their capacity.

The injury cascade is a failure of movement pattern or muscle capacity that exposes passive structure to load it can no longer tolerate.

Pain is a symptom. Find the cause. Restore active system competency. Protect what passive tissue remains.
That is the work.

Activation is the shortened term for the physiological phenomenon called Post Activation Performance Enhancement (PAPE).

You use a low load pattern with high repetition then take it into a more complex pattern that has higher load.

A muscle is influenced by its contractile history.

Practicing excellent technique is the hallmark of great athletes. Just ask the GOAT of powerlifting 🙌

In a squat as the hip angle increases the gluteal advantage for hip extension decreases, with increasing hip flexion angle the adductors and hamstrings have an advantages hip extension force vector.

This is one of the reasons behind knee cave in a squat.

The activation here is for abduction to add to the force of hip extension and increase gluteal torque.

Lock Clam to Abduction machine to Squat.

Activation is Science. Use it to your advantage and improve!

It’s common for individuals to undergo multiple surgeries for similar types of pain. For instance, someone with back pain might have surgery to fuse two vertebrae, only to fall back into poor movement patterns and weakness, eventually needing another surgery.

Often, the stress simply shifts to adjacent spinal segments or other areas of the body, such as the hips or knees, leading to new issues due to compensation.

This issue is not a failure of the surgeon but rather a failure of the rehabilitation process.
Patients must be educated on proper movement techniques, build strength, and eliminate the factors contributing to their injuries, not just at the site of pain, but throughout the entire kinetic chain.

In many cases, when these foundations are addressed early, surgery can be avoided altogether.

Struggling with ankle mobility issues? You may actually be lacking ankle stability 🔑

Mobility without stability is something your body will always try to protect against. If your brain doesn’t trust the joint, it limits range to keep you safe.

That’s why improving ankle stability can often unlock better ankle mobility, smoother movement, and less compensation through the knees, hips, and lower back.

Single leg calf raises are one of our favourite tools for this:

✨ They improve ankle and foot stability
✨ Help build control through the calf complex
✨ Can improve confidence and balance in heels
✨ Support better lower limb alignment
✨ May reduce stress contributing to knee and back pain

The stronger and more stable your foundation is, the better your body can move above it.

The worst advice you can give someone in pain is to fear movement and push surgery as the first option without an exercise intervention.

“Stop squatting.”
“Don’t deadlift.”
“There’s nothing we can do”
“You’ll need surgery.”

As coaches and practitioners, our role should be to teach people about their body and encourage them to move in a way that will help them recover.

Most gym movements are just loaded versions of patterns we use every day. The goal isn’t to avoid movement forever. It’s to improve movement quality, identify weaknesses, assess properly, and build confidence back into the body.

Everyone deserves to understand how to move well for long term health and performance 💪🏽

Pain is a SYMPTOM, not a DIAGNOSIS.

There is no such diagnosis as “Non-Specific Low Back Pain” NSLBP.

To create a specific solution to each individual involves thinking about many factors. Directional aggravation and easing factors, static and dynamic aspects, gravitational positions, thinking in planes of movement, considering shear and compression forces, moment arms, anatomical contributions, etc.
