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.
The piriformis muscle is one of the external rotators of the hip and leg. This means that as the muscle works, it helps to turn the foot and leg outward. Problems in the piriformis muscle can cause problems with the sciatic nerve. This is because the sciatic nerve runs under (and sometimes through) the piriformis muscle on its way out of the pelvis. The piriformis muscle can squeeze and irritate the sciatic nerve in this area, leading to the symptoms of sciatica.
