Do you feel deep pain in the buttock while sitting or walking? Does the discomfort sometimes radiate down the back of your thigh? Is the pain worse after long sitting or climbing stairs? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for persistent hip or buttock pain? These symptoms may indicate piriformis syndrome.
What Is Piriformis Syndrome?
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle in the buttock becomes tight or inflamed and compresses the nearby sciatic nerve. Prolonged sitting, muscle imbalance, overuse during sports, or poor posture can irritate this muscle. This leads to buttock pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve-related symptoms down the leg.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on relieving muscle tension and restoring normal hip movement. Treatment focuses on:
Stretching tight piriformis and hip muscles
Strengthening gluteal and core muscles
Soft tissue release techniques
Postural and movement correction
Gradual return to activity and exercise
What You Can Try at Home
Avoid prolonged sitting, stretch the hips regularly, maintain upright posture, perform gentle glute strengthening exercises, and take frequent walking breaks during desk work.
For expert care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy for piriformis syndrome, helping relieve pain and restore comfortable movement.
