Having pain down the leg and hip but not sure if it's from the piriformis or low back pain check out this video for a few more tips and tricks czcams.com/video/F4Bues0rLbk/video.html
I always assumed it was the glute muscle. Didn’t realise there was another muscle there until I was describing the pain to a friend and she told me it was the piriformis. Why do our bodies get so complicated once we turn 40 but not yet over 50?!! 😆😆
@@Nevererasealwaysrecord omg i totally agree I’ve been suffering with this for about 4 days now it won’t go away hopefully the things I learned in this video will help I’m only 43 and falling apart lol
@@goat8252 The pain is insane. Because that’s been flared up, and the hamstring on the right hand side, it’s flared up the nerves pain alone the very very lower back. The nerves get so painful that the only way I can describe them is it feels like hot ice searing my skin. And I get the sciatica nerve pain. But not according to the Drs. If I bend forward at the waist, within a minute my whole lower body from waist to toes will go pins and needles, all tingly, and completely numb at the same time. And the Drs are trying to tell me that I don’t have a pinch nerve in my back because one doesn’t show up on an MRI. Pfft! Not all nerves are visible via MRI positioning.
I came across your channel recently because of poor military healthcare and sleepless nights seeking anything to help. I'm 34 and having severe sciatica symptoms and for months my medical team has come to the conclusion that it's from my back and have had zero relief from physical therapy or medications they've prescribed. I haven't had a good night's sleep in idk how long. The combination of your channel and Squat University led me to believe that it was piriformus syndrome. In two days of rolling out, stretching, and incorporating multiple videos of both channels into my daily routine I've finally had significant relief and fingers crossed it continues to head in that direction. Thank you for your channel.
Alright, you two must be trolling the internet to see what topics are being most searched because EVERY TIME you hit the nail on the head! Needed this one.. again.
I have been watching you guys for a long time and just wanted to say how helpful your videos are. I am disabled and so a lot of your videos have helped me tremendously. Also, for Bob, I am very happy that you are not letting your condition stop you from helping all of us. You are appreciated. Brad too of course.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been suffering with this problem for a loooong time! I’ve tried every weird stretch to relieve the piriformis muscle all without results. I bought the large massage gun from your link- it help tremendously… but only temporary. I use an inversion table - that helps temporarily. I realize now that I need to really strengthen all of the butt muscles… wake them up! Thank you! You both have been a great help to improve my mobility and to help me recover from injuries several times!
Thank you Bob and Brad for your videos! I looked for a video from you when I began to experience piriformis pain (once I found out what it was!!!). The best tip you gave me was walking or jogging on my toes! I tried and it worked like magic! Many thanks and sending well wishes to Bob!! Many thanks again !Diane
OF COURSE they guess for the 100th time,which muscle JUST started bothering me. This is witchcraft. This is happening for the 5th time at least. Of all the muscles in the body,that one starts hurting today,and they release a video about it. Insane
I have just received the Bob and Brad small massage gun and I honestly am extremely happy. Super powerful, non-bulky and in a really nice case. The price isn't too much at all for what it does. Thanks, guys. Excellent product.
I used the spikey ball my husband uses for plantar fascitis to massage the muscle it worked pretty great. Thanx guys, once again you predicted what I did to myself this month that I needed to fix. 💙
I just went down south for vacation, and my hip didn't hurt the entire time (a full week), but a day and a half after I got home (North), my pain came back...
❇️Thanks guys. This has been giving me hell grief for months now in my left muscle side. And of course, it’s now irritated because the opposite leg is having troubles and I am favouring the left left side that has this problem. 🛑❓But if you read this, I am in desperate need of advice on how to fix a damaged hamstring on the same knee that had a replacement on July 1st. The knee was healing up well and going great guns in getting back on track. Then the hamstring went dodgy 5 weeks post op from an exercise the hospital physio said to do. I then spent four weeks carefully still moving for the knee to still be getting movement for healing, but leg up and resting the hamstring as much as possible. Seemed pretty good after 4 weeks. So I doubled the recumbent bike time and did 5 sit to stand before going to the hairdressers. There I was sitting for an hour and could not put my leg straight out in front of me. So I had to have my leg out to the side. I went to stand up and BAM! hamstring told me to get lost! 😆. It’s now three weeks in, I’m doing what the two private physios are telling me (one working on TKR swelling on top, other working on hamstring underneath) and up the back of the thigh, but the main pain from it is behind the knee. ‼️HELP! I am icing, heating, elevating, tennis ball massage, everything I can do with not having a 24/7 physio and I desperately need to get this back to normal due to different things happening, how life interrupting this is, how much it has set back my TKR recovery and the pain!
Always be aware of what is too much and stop. Both bob and Brad always say if it hurts don’t do it. PTs can do a lot of damage to you because they don’t know how you’re feeling. They only know this is the exercise they want you to do. It’s up to everyone to say no more.
@@brotoubrotou3164 Turns out it wasn’t the hamstring damaged a second time around. I was told that after a replacement I would no longer get bakers cysts. Awesome! Finally this thing that has interrupted my life since childhood will forever be gone!! So I assumed that since “I wouldn’t have one again after a replacement”, that they would have drained this existing one. Nope! It’s still a massive flare up, and it’s been what? 4-5 weeks since we last talked here? I had an inkling it was a bakers cyst. I remember trying to exercise and thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think this is the hammy because the pain is exactly spot on like a bakers cyst. But why would I have one when they’d of gotten rid of it during surgery?’ Pfft. Yeah right! They didn’t. It took 3 weeks to convince my GP to give me a referral for an ultrasound. Then I convince the hospital to see me to check on things (and I was hoping they’d do a further scan of some sort because of tendons and ligaments), but the Registrar was like “Oh yeah, you’ll still get bakers cyst because it’s excess synovial fluid, (yeah yeah I know what it is, but why am I getting this post op?) During surgery we never touch a bakers cyst.” he says. OMG seriously? So you want me to do all this daily physio, plus try to get on with life on a knee that’s been replaced, yet has a flared up large cyst that inhibits movement? Sure. No problems Doc! {€~}*#*
Perfect timing! Thank you for everything B&B. My piriformis was irritated be a disc issue as well as rubbish glute. Disc issue seems much better and I've just gotta fix this damn piriformis, it feels all torn up compared to the other side.
Doing great Bob! Love to hear you speak and that smile, it's just so cheery! Brad, you're the best too- keep doing what you both do best- make these super helpful and fun videos!
Yup...The SCIATICA PAIN Reaches out to my HEEL AND KNEE AND BUTTOCKS...And now my Lower BACK...Having Bowel problems too...NOT HAPPY...Love Your Work GUYS!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻
Way to go Bob, continuing to show up with diagnoses. Inspiring and leading by example that we can imperfectly show up and it’s perfect. Brad and team fantastic job at giving support to a college in a challenging time. Pure class and grace 👏🙌🌟 PS you guys have been my go to for understanding and therapy assistance for my lower back and sciatic health. Keep up to good vibes 💫
The exercises are probably good but forget the massage gun and invest in a TENS Unit, you pick them up cheaply now. I had femur fracture surgery and started to suffer the symptoms mentioned. I'd already bought a cheap (doesn't matter, as good as PT's ones and no expensive sessions) and it works every time. In fact I had been having pain whilst watching this and whipped it out, 15 minutes later, all gone.
You're going to have to change your jingle to Bob and Brad, the two most psychic physical therapists on the internet, since you always post about issues that I'm having.
Does anyone find it difficult to sleep with Piriformis. After about 5 minutes on my right side the pain is not tolerable. Thank goodness my left is not as bad.
Oh tell me about it I just had 2 steroids shots and still suffering from sore piriformis can hardly walk, sleep, and use the restroom worse pain ever 😩😫😩😣😖😟😔
Really needed this. I have endometriosis related piriformis syndrome. And sciatica. It's horrible. Some of the excersises are too much for me. The first one on the belly is impossible for me to do. My back and piriformis lock up and spasm like crazy with this one. The others are great
It was explained to me that the sciatica is a result of piriformis syndrome. It was THE worst pain ever, sending me to the ER 3x and to urgent care twice. I saw a chiropractor who, while great for everything else, aggravated the situation more. Several times it took me 15-20 min to walk 15 ft to my vehicle in the I parking lot, sobbing the entire time. Then I had rotator cuff surgery and the PT coming to my home for the 1st 6 wks post-op FIXED ME! He did massage, TENS and exercises with me and gave me homework between visits and within 3 visits, no more sciatica. That was 10 mos ago. If I don't keep up with the piriformis stretches, it starts to get sore again so that's incentive to stay with the homework for sure!
Sciatica is a symptom not a diagnosis and sciatica is the symptom of both piriformis syndrome and herniated disc and both has same pain so its hard to identify where the problem is but u can still find what is causing the problem there r videos from this channel just do some searching and ur good to go
In my experience I started to have what I thought was sciatica nerve pain. It was a pain running from the middle of my butt all the way down to my toes, with numbness. Only on my left side. I found out this is from the piriformis muscle. I have heard it called "fake sciatica" because it mimics the same pain, signs and symptoms as real sciatica nerve pain. Usually real sciatica nerve pain radiates from your lower back, not the middle of your butt muscle. Usually from a herniated disk in your lower spine. If you research these videos, you will get a much better understanding of what I am saying here. Hope you find what you are looking for and feel better soon.
Hey guys, I purchased you massage gun especially to relieve piriformis syndrome 6 months ago, I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of this tool. I actually chose the two attachments you used in this video, thanks guys 👍
Can you please tell me where you purchased the massage gun and how much it cost? I can't seem to get to the link for it on my tablet, it won't let me scroll down. Thank you for any information you can give me.
Thank you for this, I've watched so many of your videos and they're all so helpful. This one especially as it's recent and involves a tough problem with Piriformis Syndrome.
I Feel that I HAVE some kind of LOWER Nerve damage...Plus the Doctor says that part of this problem is Diet ...No more Booze and Fast foods..It's something that I HAVE done already...Over all I am A strong person..
Glute scrunches, the excersize that can be done almost anywhere. 😂 So much here I'll be reviewing it for days. Thanks for everything you share with us.
This is one of the issues I think I have. It causes pain in my left butt area (I drive many hours a day) and weakness in the entire leg. The effects are spreading to nearby muscles. It's hard to get my left hamstring or left abdominal muscles to contract. I'll need to do more research into the piriformis. EDIT: OK I listened to the part about glutteal amnesia and I think that might be a major part of my problems.Tried some of these exercises and they did seem to activate the dead areas somewhat. Will keep giving them a try and see if they cause an improvement.
I have a extremely important question sir I been dealing with this pain for many months so this pain is in my left and right rib area feels like a really bad cramps I always have to stop and hold my self feels like it moves it comes randomly please help me sir
When I'm at work my right hip starts hurting and it radiates down the front of my thigh. Like the more I use it the angrier it gets. Even sitting becomes uncomfortable. Ibuprofen takes the pain away so I don't start limping from the pain. After some rest laying on the couch at home it goes away. I'm not sure if it's muscle or joint. If anyone else has this issue and knows what it is it would help me a lot so I can find the right video for it. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!! Bob has been diagnosed with Ataxia, which affects his speech and balance, however not his mind! We did a video on it if you were interested in watching it: czcams.com/video/8zFEppGYEKA/video.html

Thars really interesting. I've struggled with this for years and especially after rupturing my Achilles and needing an FHL tendon transfer operation. I now put more weight down through my heel and have hardly any calf muscle on that leg. Trying to go up on the ball of my foot is next to impossible for example.
In addition to piriformis syndrome I also have arthritis and bursitis, all in the same hip. It seems like what I do for one issue annoys another. Help!!
i just recently watched a video about walking and pulling instead of pushing. so he was saying to not use your glutes, but to instead pull yourself forward with your hip flexors. and you guys are saying to use your glutes, which ones right?
I ran three months 5k running program. I got hip side pain and piriformis too. Right side. And left right foot balance is 47/53%. Now running is off three weeks and still I feel stiffness. Piriformis is better hip little too. I just cycling and walking with sticks now. Streching not helping much!?
I'd love to know where I can go to get a hold of you guys are you guys in canada at all or usa plz I need help I been dealing with this siatica nerve for almost 2 years
Just starting to watch your CZcams Chanel on the recommendation of a friend. I’m wondering if you have ever successfully treated bursitis of the ichial tuberosities? Pardon my spelling if incorrect.
I'm 37. Been sitting at work for 13 years. My right leg has muscle spasms all day long. Intense cramping in my ankle feet calf and shin. . please help me get back to normal. .

EDIT: OK I listened to the part about glutteal amnesia and I think that might be a major part of my problems.Tried some of these exercises and they did seem to activate the dead areas somewhat. Will keep giving them a try and see if they cause an improvement.
Can piriformis syndrome untreated cause calf muscle atrophy? My left gastroc degeneration is so bad I can’t even walk on my toes.
Great video guys your the best !!!!!!!
You two are amazing. Thank you
Love your massage gun. The small ones powerful!
Bob you are doing great man, keep up the good work.
I have this bad! Thank you so much!
I thought it was sciatic nerve first time...these guys diagnosed me properly.
I have a extremely important question sir I been dealing with this pain for many months so this pain is in my left and right rib area feels like a really bad cramps I always have to stop and hold my self feels like it moves it comes randomly please help me sir
When I'm at work my right hip starts hurting and it radiates down the front of my thigh. Like the more I use it the angrier it gets. Even sitting becomes uncomfortable. Ibuprofen takes the pain away so I don't start limping from the pain. After some rest laying on the couch at home it goes away. I'm not sure if it's muscle or joint. If anyone else has this issue and knows what it is it would help me a lot so I can find the right video for it. Thanks!
Love your show guys, just wondering if bob has not been well, either way what a great guy, still helping others
Thanks for watching!! Bob has been diagnosed with Ataxia, which affects his speech and balance, however not his mind! We did a video on it if you were interested in watching it: czcams.com/video/8zFEppGYEKA/video.html
@@BobandBrad Thankyou guys, yes I’ll watch now, what a wonderful man to keep up the videos, no doubt your support is just the best, you 2 are champs, cheers from australia x
Seriously God bless you guys, thank you so much for this!
Thars really interesting. I've struggled with this for years and especially after rupturing my Achilles and needing an FHL tendon transfer operation. I now put more weight down through my heel and have hardly any calf muscle on that leg. Trying to go up on the ball of my foot is next to impossible for example.
Thank you for this great video.
a timely video
Hi B & B, many thanks!
i always massage that spot with my fist, I'll try the exercises for sure! my butt hurts bad often!
These guys are helping more people than they probably think. This is God's people in action.

You didn't mention cold or heat?
Is it safe to use these methods to alleviate pain, as well?
Thanks

8:19 that’s called the old geezer walk 😂
In addition to piriformis syndrome I also have arthritis and bursitis, all in the same hip. It seems like what I do for one issue annoys another. Help!!
i just recently watched a video about walking and pulling instead of pushing. so he was saying to not use your glutes, but to instead pull yourself forward with your hip flexors. and you guys are saying to use your glutes, which ones right?
thx
Hope these work. I could use some relief!
I ran three months 5k running program. I got hip side pain and piriformis too.
Right side. And left right foot balance is 47/53%.
Now running is off three weeks and still I feel stiffness. Piriformis is better hip little too. I just cycling and walking with sticks now.
Streching not helping much!?
Ballet Barre would be good for this one
Currently pregnant, and suffering severely from this. 😢😢
Hey wonderful video.. but I am having pain in this area for a week now...so is it good to do these exercises while in pain? Or wait till pain goes
