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.
In many cases, there is a history of trauma to the area, repetitive, vigorous activity such as long-distance running, or prolonged sitting. Diagnosis of piriformis syndrome is made by the patientâs report of symptoms and by physical exam using a variety of movements to elicit pain to the piriformis muscle.
