FAIR Test for Piriformis Syndrome

Today @Ortho EVAL Pal With Paul Marquis I demonstrate how to perform the FAIR Test for Piriformis Syndrome. Deep gluteal pain can be a little tricky since so many issues can cause buttock pain. Remember, special tests alone should not be used to diagnose patients. Palpation, mechanisms of injury, selective tissue tension testing, respond to injections and other evaluation techniques should be put together to get to a proper diagnosis. Enjoy!!

What does it mean if their pain is in the front of the hip

[@dsm5083]

It means it isn’t a piriformis problem

[@themanhw]

Possible intraarticular joint issue or iliopsoas syndrome

[@irfhandiary8841]

​@@themanhwwhat does it mean if the pain are both

[@PeefMidgar]

​@@irfhandiary8841then they may need to stretch both anterior and posterior since they are both hypertonic.

[@BriggetteB]

I believe i have this i have all the deep pain in the back of the glute you mentioned. I had a question though, can it cause you to have numbness and tingling in groin from pressing at the sciatic nerve? It is not currently causing it for me but i was having that a few weeks ago, now i just have the deep pain on the back of the glute

[@sebastianjakobsen548]

​@@OrthoEvalPalwhat does it mean if the pain is in front of the hip?

[@denzelnolet]

This stretch makes the pain feel better. Any ideas as to what else I can try? Thanks.

[@supraflydynomite9425]

Please respond. I'm in the same condition. Thanks.

[@Xalisko]

My pain is in the left glute, but I feel pain in my right calf/thigh... Is that normal?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Can't answer without evaluating you. Could be many reasons for that presentation.

[@primalcomedy]

Thats where my pain is

[@OrthoEvalPal]

If it persists, have it checked out since there could be several causes of pain in this area

[@inzider19]

Totally useless test

[@jamiaburchamcnhp8712]

Why?
