In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know the piriformis is a deep buttock muscle close to the sciatic nerve.
- I tell my clinician about falls, long sitting, running, cycling, or recent increases in exercise.
- I understand back and hip problems can cause similar pain and need to be considered.
- I reduce activities that trigger symptoms while keeping gentle, comfortable movement in my day.
