@pelvichealing: Ready to heal from Piriformis Syndrome in a whole new way?!? This pain in the booty can cause Sciatica due to compression from the piriformis muscle being too tight irritating the sciatic nerve as it sits underneath this muscle in some or pierces through it in others. Pudendal neuralgia can also be caused by a piriformis muscle that chronically has too much tension in it. We often see patients that manifest both pudendal neuralgia and sciatica. The piriformis muscle is a common denominator! Know that pelvic floor therapists have a unique advantage to treat the piriformis muscle & both of these diagnoses through an internal approach. We are thankful to have a window in which we are able to get in & directly treat this muscle versus external treatment alone that goes through the gluteus maximus and the back of the hip. Listen up as Dr. Julie explains how the piriformis is treated trans-vaginally and some things to look out for, especially for those with pudendal neuralgia. If you have stubborn piriformis pain that won’t go away with stretching or exercise alone, get after this muscle through an internal release that can be done by a pelvic floor therapist. 🙌 Call us today at 714-770-8222 to get one of our pelvic floor experts on your case, or visit pelvichealing.com to learn more! #piriformis #piriformissyndrome #piriformisrelease #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloortherapy
