1 Keep hot takeout food â such as barbecued meat or Chinese food â warm by transferring it to an oven-safe baking dish while you prepare another dish serve with it.  If you mash potatoes in an oven-safe saucepan, place them in the oven to stay warm while you finish preparing the other foods.
Muscle damage and tightness in Piriformis Syndrome is associated with scar-tissue adhesions. To treat these adhesions stretching is not enough. Hands-on treatment such as Active Release Techniques therapy is needed to work out the muscle adhesions and release the entrapped sciatic nerve.
Distance running performed properly is a pushing motion from when the mid-foot strikes the ground. This pushing contributes to the tightness and soreness that can affect the gluteal complex and piriformis muscle. The piriformis muscle lies underneath the gluteus muscle, or buttock. When your glutes and piriformis are tight and fatigued they can cause you to have a sore lower back and hamstrings, poor balance, and even shooting nerve pain down your leg due to sciatica. (Your sciatic nerve shoots through your piriformis. When inflamed, the piriformis compresses this nerve causing the pain.)
