- Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly relieve piriformis syndrome pain.
Piriformis syndrome, also known as pseudo sciatica, is a literal pain in the butt. It can also irritate the near by sciatic nerve causing pain, numbness, and tingling down the leg, calf, and foot.
The main cause of this is weakness in the glutes and piriformis muscles that allows tension, tightness, and spasms to build.
To keep it easy, this video will be broken up into two sperate parts focusing on piriformis (and glute) tightness and strengthening. If you're looking to get the best results, go through both parts and use what gives you the most relief.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home, require no equipment, and may give quick piriformis syndrome pain relief... even within 30 SECONDS!
Watch now and get rid of piriformis pain for good!

I have question for the first move,do we need to do it in the higher chair so our legs hanging or in the normal chair?
Does it make any different?
Thanks Doc for answering my question!
Stay healthy
Hey Dr Rowe - update on pre and post stretches for workouts - u.mentioned u would prepare videos in the near future regarding same-thnxs 😀
Spinecare Drcompression and Chiropractic- Hey Dr Rowe - pre w/o exercises/ stretches for upper and lower body ??
Hi
I keep getting winded in lower back any idea what might that be.
Just after doing these stretches..it helped going to keep at it and keep you posted... Thank you so much!
Literally just cured years of pain in 39 seconds and I could cry right now.
That's wonderful, glad you're getting relief!
Did you stay pain free??? I'm in pain every day... I do yoga as well as chiropractic treatment... not even that is permanent!
Yes they helped. But then returned at night. Will continue. Is the pain worse at night during sleep because you are immobile basically, for a long time?
@@DavidDeubelbeiss you are good or cured
@@DrRowe Doctor Rowe, do these exercises cures or fixes the syndromes or just relieves the pain? Please respond my question 🙏🏻
This is definitely the best piriformis video out now - June 22.
1.Everything is concise and to the point.
2. He doesn't waste time with jokes and bla-bla, yet he is very friendly and accessible.
3. He immediately states that the remedy contains two parts: stretching strengthening.
So many therapists don't state that, with the result that many people overstretch and never strengthen.
4. Each excercise stands on its own with a clear beginning and end... and in between what you aim for.
5. Duration of exercise and repetitions specified.
6. The simplest and most accessible exercises were chosen, yet the ones that, in their simplicity, yield maximum effect.
7. Filmed with different angles - so you really can work out what to do!
8. No confusion.
So very well done!
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
this video is gold! - agree with all your comment points. and just discovered it without even searching for it. i have a lot of struggle with car seat and chair at work, this will be my new mantra :)
The secret word is STRENGTHEN!
Will try these for sure thankyou.
Doctor Rowe, I am in South Africa. I was in a terrible pain and couldn't use my left leg. I couldn't move around without holding things around me for support... I tried your activities right now. Someone knocked on my door while busy exercising, and to my surprise I picked myself up without hussles and answered the door. Thank you Dr Rowe... Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏 keep on doing the good job. God bless you
Just curious if these exercises and stretches continued to heal you? TIA
@@lawnmower11 it's been about 5 months since then. I am still going strong. I think some two months after I was all OK, I felt the pain coming back, I repeated the exercise and I was fine again. It does not come back any more. I do my garden at home and some heavy work. I am back to normal. This Doc is good.
@@lesibalipson8936 is it a permanent healing or sometimes the pain comes again?
I love that you just not address the symptoms but also provide strengthening exercises to prevent it from happening in the future. Awesome video!
Thanks for watching!
How are you now
I totally agree with this! Not just stretches, but good exercises for the smaller muscles in the but. I've had piriformis problems since my teenage years. I've got very mobile joints and a naturally very flexible spine. My muscles need to work a little harder for that reason. The bigger muscles can handle this, but the smaller muscles often get overloaded. I've been doing rotator cuf exercises for years and this has been helpful for my mobile shoulders, but I had trouble finding good exercises for the piriformis. Most of the times they just tell you to train the big muscles like the gluteus maximus, but this completely useless in my case since they are already very strong. I do strength training 4-5 times a week and I'm going to add these exercises to my programm for sure.
@@adrianahaverhoek Hey man, talking about strength training and flexibility, I do strength training 3 times a week and wanted to add in flexibility training another 4-5 times a week, but I noticed sciatica and piriformis pain while doing flexibility training, did you notice something similar?
Bro I have really bad pain.. should I try this exercises??
there's a lot of other chiro, PT, or channels like yours, but your videos are on another level. Always so relatable and *EASY* to follow ! 👏🏻🙌🏻
Well thank you for the kind words, and glad your found the channel!
Yes they are he is a master and shares his learned knowledge. May he go forth and prosper in all realms.
I agree❤️
Agreed
Agree. Great learning and easy to follow. Clear.
I’ve suffered from piriformis pain for several years. I’m getting relief from these exercises, first time ever. Love your videos. Thank you!!!!
Wonderful to hear you're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
How's your pain right now?
How r u now did you recover
@@vivianeraw8448 hi! I don’t think piriformis ever goes away. Or at least mine hasn’t. But…these exercises stop it from hurting every time it rears it’s ugly head. I may go months with no pain an then if I’m over active an it starts hurting, I do the exercises a few days an it’s gone. A miracle actually how quickly they give relief. I’ve referred so many people to this video.
Thanks Doctor this is really interesting for me I have been in pain for the last 30years am going to try these exercises am already working out with a physiotherapist I will need more of your videos am Justine Kigongo from Uganda
I had pain in my right hip for several weeks but it became much worse in the last few days. While not being able to sleep due to the pain last night I found this video on CZcams. Thanks so much. After one set of only some of these exercises I am nearly pain-free. What a gift. Thanks for the info. It does annoy me that you can do all these things while narrating the video and not having to catch your breath!
Glad you’re getting a lot of relief!
After doing three reps of the exercises, I feel wonderful! My left buttock got messed up in a freak accident I had with my foot a year and a half ago. I'm getting close to being pain free💖
@@Kali_Krause wow m so glad you are pain free
Was thé sciatic nerve pain go through thé foot
Yesterday i started increasing m'y daily steps and ended up agraviating piriformis syndrome , m so scared and concerned about this condition 😭
I’ve been barely able to walk for the past eleven days from acute piriformis syndrome and after doing the first section of this video, most of the pain went away! Thank you so much!
Do you get a permanent healing from these exercises?
Unable to hardly walk for 11 whole days,,OMG how did you exist it!!!?!?!?! I've been in excruciating PAIN for 2 and a half,,,,,YEARS!!!!! Happened after a violet sneezing spasm and I've been to 27 doctors specialists,, multiple therapists and chiropractors to absolutely NO AVAIL AT ALL!! Nobody has a clue and my life for practical purposes has come to an abrupt halt as the EXCRUCIATING DIBILITATING, CRIPPLING PAIN AT EVERY INCH BELOW MY WAISTE CONTINUES TO GROW DAILY!! IVE TRIED EVERY EXCERCISE ON CZcams INCLUDING THESE GENERIC BASIC EXCERCISES WHICH DOES NOTHING AT ALL TO HELP! That's why I find it really weird that people here above who've been suffering for a long time did 30 seconds of these excercises above and HALLELUJAH A MIRACLE,,, THEY'RE CURED😮!! YEA,, I'M SURE!!! NOTHING will cure pain that fast if the Pain is REALLY Severe,,
except,,,, MORPHINE!!!! Maybe I'll try the excercises Again and this time I'll have INSTANTANEOUS MIRACLE PAIN RELIEF TOO!!😮,, right,,,,,,
Thank you! I’ve never been given such great stretches from any PT. You have awesome stretches and workouts for everything. Your doing an amazing service for people who can’t afford PT’s and are in pain! 😭
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
Oh my gosh. I have been in agony for months, even under chiropractic care. I only did the sitting stretches and the pain is gone! This will be a regular routine for me from now on. What a relief to not be in pain! Thank you, thank you!
That's wonderful to hear!
I am 18 and i feeling this pain for last one day can i cure it permanently
I am 18 and i am feeling this pain from last one night can i cure it permanently
@@freakygamer2887 how r u now
Any improvement
It started with my back for two years ago and not I also have Trokanterit/Trokanterbursit. Can I do these exercises.
Thankfull for an answer
Barbro from Sweden
These exercises made a huge difference to my recovery from piriformis syndrome. I was almost developing a foot drop in my right foot prior to starting these. Life saver!
I used a couple of these exercises last night and fell asleep pain free for the first time in years. Thank you.
That's great to hear, keep at it!
@@DrRowe j⁹ĵh
About 4 months ago I started getting alot of pain in my lower spine, hip and leg which I assumed was sciatica. After a couple of months the spine pain eased but I was literally left with a pain in the butt which wasnt going away! I'd never heard of piriformis until I very luckily came across your videos about two weeks ago. It all made sense and I realised that after sitting on my butt for the best part of two years due to the pandemic I've done myself alot of damage. These piriformis exercises have shown me how much pain I'm actually in but boy are they helping. I'm still having pain but doing some of your exercises every couple of days is helping.
I have to be careful as I had an upper spinal fusion with rod 45 years ago (I'm 58 female btw). While everyone is different what I would say is all the exercises in this video I feel safe doing as they are lower body and love the fact I can do them on the bed before I get up!
Finally, thank you so so much, you're a lifesaver. Your videos are clear, concise and very easy to follow. I'd give this 100 likes if I could! Please keep them coming and if you could ever do one relating to scoliosis that would be amazing!!!☺️
Same here, I thought I had si joint dysfunction now the pain is almost entirely in my thigh and butt and sciatica symptoms, unf. stretching hasn't really been the answer, found out it was a mass near the spine so, if the pain isn't going, pls get a mri
@@diouranke hi sorry for some reason just got a notification about your reply! I'm much better thanks to an amazing CZcams channel Nicole Sachs. You should also read about Dr John Sarno. After five months of pain I'm 80% cured after realizing my pain is caused by my chronic anxiety. Hope you feel better.
I just recently started having the same problem. I found my self glued to the chair even more when working from home. The bathroom breaks and lunch is only few steps away so there'snot much movements there. Since it's working for you, sounds like there's hope for me because I'm not a fan of going to the doctor if I could avoid it. Thank God for this video.
Thank you Dr. Rowe very profoundly for your instructions! I had low level, but annoying pain in my left leg, for years, and I thought it was sciatica. Just two series of three exercises lying on my back cured the pain, as if by magic! Now, for a second week, I keep doing these exercises daily to relax both piriformis muscles and make them alike. Dr. Rowe, you are a gift to humanity!
Thanks for watching!
Simple efficient exercises especially for an over 50....l have tried and will keep doing the exercises to get rid of the pain... thank you Dr.
Had no idea there was anything like this out there for the pain that I've had for YEARS. Thank you!
Glad you found the video!
He's great isn't he?
I am 82 and have just been told surgery is not an option (stenosis). Just one stretch made the discomfort MUCH better! I will now continue with Acupuncture and your stretches rather than the other option which was cortisone injections. THANK YOU!
You were NOT kidding about the 30 seconds thing. I started to feel better two stretches in. Going to follow all of this regularly to try and resolve this for good. I've had this issue for about 13 years now, and it's been part of a huge issue with tightness on the right side... gradually working back through the issues to this point :)
Great to hear you’re getting quick relief!
Hi sir, past 4 weeks have you felt better than ever. Please let me know, I'm following these exercise, bit of motivation would be appreciable.
did it actually work for you, a month later? I suddenly developed this ass cheek pain and its hurting in my legs and moving to the othr leg too...
Any update on your recovery
Thank you so much! Have dealt with this pain for a couple years now. Was only given the first couple exercises to do. I hope you realize how many people you help 🙂! Thank you so very much!
Hope these ones help you!
@@DrRowe Doctor, I have sciatica that started in my right either piriformis or a muscle or nerve group somewhat superior to the area you describe here, the upper buttock/low back region. Is that also piriformis?
@@Rollwithit699 study the psoas muscle as it may be part of it.
@@ryanfp5657 😉
Wow! Thank you so much for this! Please don't ever take this video down - I hope more and more people stumble across it 👏❤😀
I've had an issue with my piriformis for 10 years. I've gone to the ER twice because the pain was so bad (couldnt walk). In recent years, I've gone to urgent care. I would get a shot of toradol, some steroids and a pain reliever, which would last a week. After two nights of doing the entire video, I'm back to normal. Words can't describe how thankful I am for you. Thank you so much. ❤
I did the first stretch with you as I watched and WOW! What a difference! I’ve done 19 visits to Physical therapy for stretching and none of it did what this did in 10 seconds! This could change my life, literally! Thank you!
Glad you found the video and thanks so much for watching!
Is your pain fully gone?
A decade of back pain and the best info ever on relieving my daily glute pain and how to strengthen them and glutes.. just amazing and so grateful for your clear concise range of exercises.
Thanks for watching!
I recently subscribed to Dr. Rowe's channel and I must say he really knows his trade and has shared very valuable information with us. These exercises have really helped me and the recent injury I experienced is getting better by doing them. Thank you Dr. Rowe for sharing your knowledge with us.
I had this last week for the 1st time ever; felt like someone was operating on my gluten without anaesthetic. The pain was awful and I couldn't sit down for 3 days. Took GP prescribed medication only for one day the searched CZcams and found you. Did exercises and pain got after 1 week. I now do exercises daily and I am pain free; will be doing them.daily for life now .Thank you , thank you, thank you 🥰 from the U.K.
Keep at it!
@SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center that goes without saying; you need an Oscar🏆🇬🇧
Your presentation, pace, and emphasis points are great. Thanks for making these videos, Dr.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
@DrRowe you have showed Upper Cross, Lower Cross, Text Neck, sciatica. So, the behavior side of things, have you seen any evidence about cognitive therapies or cognitive suggestions to assist us in discontinuing our bad postures?
I.e. I put all my stress in my hips.
Cognitive suggestion - When you get upset, you posture and tense up your shoulders.
So true. I agree with you .
TQ so much Dr.
I am in pain (for the past two weeks) and tonight, praise be to God- i found your video and am able to follow the steps.
The excruciating pain lessen and found some relief.
I’ve had a history of this pain but your exercises have helped me 100% !! I’m familiar with a couple of your exercises but others not- so thrilled! Thank you!❤
Great to hear!
This exercise did a miracle for me. I have had this pain for six months and in the last four weeks get so bad I could not sit down or do any work, Motrin only could help for a minimal time. I discover this excellent video last night and doing it I feel relieved immediately. Thank you, Dr. Rowe
That's great to hear, glad you're getting immediate relief!
This video here has been a Godsend. I sit alot, have no butt, large gut and bad posture. Watching how I stand, doing these stretches, along with my weight loss routine has relieved so much pain. Thank you for helping me heal myself.
Thank you so much for this video - I’ve suffered chronic pain for many months and after just three days of following your instructions my pain has almost completely gone. A heartfelt thank-you!
Two days of doing the exercises the piriformis pain on my right side has subsided significantly. Your instructions are simple and easy to follow. I am running your video every morning as I do the stretches and strengthening exercises. Thank you so much!
Fantastic! Keep at the exercises, and thanks for watching.
Well done 👍 in giving a demonstration as to how to do the excerise
UPDATE PLEASE....
Connie, are you doing every exercise in this video? Its a lot for me to do all at one time
How r u now any improvement 🤏
I've been dealing with a lot of different pains and I decided to watch one video a day from your channel to see if it would help me. I cannot tell you how much this habit has changed my life. I want to cry from the relief of pain I feel , but then I am just filled with gratitude for your channel and how much you are helping so many of us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Really happy to hear that the videos are making a big difference for you. Keep at the exercises!
Literally just did this in my chair at work and felt significant relief!! After the first rep. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for such an informative video! I have been dealing with pain for 6 months. I’ve gone to the doctor and have done PT. I love that you included both pain relieving stretches AND strengthening exercises. I am hopeful these exercises will give me relief for good! Thank you!!
Thank you Lord Jesus for using this Doctor..he's such a blessing and a miracle for anyone who is in pain😭..i have lower hip pain that i endure for a couple of months now..i cried every night😭the pain is unbearable..it affects my daily activities especially at work..then i saw this video and tried just a single exercise and heavenly Jesus🙏 I feel relieved!OMG I love you Doctor😘thank you Lord for this man please bless him😘
Well thank you, and thanks so much for watching!
I’ve shared your channel with multiple family members, friends, and classmates at my Massage School! You’re my favorite when it comes to helpful maintenance exercises. I feel a lot better in my day to day life because of you, thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing the videos, I really appreciate it!
I’ve been in such pain for months now. I did these exercises. Not as many times and after the first day I was not limping anymore. I’m 65 years old and besides doing this I put a patch on my hip too. And yes no pain. I tried various other exercises on utube and only this one has helped. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Terrific periformis routine. I have been suffering for months and am now finding relief! Miracle worker you are!
Thanks again Doc! I have had issues with these muscle groups, immediate relief, and working the strengthening exercises is helping a ton. We are lucky to have you, you're the best.
Wonderful to hear you’re getting immediate relief, and thanks for watching!
How r u now
OMG, this is the pain I have always had! I didn't even know it has got a name! I could hardly bend down to pick up anything from the floor for the last 2 days. It's crippling considering I am a housewife constantly cleaning after my kids. Thank you so much Dr Rowe for this video. It instantly relieved some of the pain I had. You are saving lives!
Glad you found the video and are getting instant relief!
Appreciated these exercises. Had so much pain and after doing these I have almost eliminated most of it in less than a week. Will keep these as part of my routine. Thank you!
Any updates please
you mean the pain is gone after a week?
Pretty amazing how focused and competent you are on what you do. You deserve all the success in your life and career. May the Universe bless you big time!
Well thank you, and thanks for watching!
This is by far the best video for pain relief I have seen. I love the no nonsense and no fluff instructions. It really works. I sent this to friends. Thanks a million.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
I have been in pain with Piriformis Syndrome for 5 years now, and after I gave birth to my son, that's when I started experiencing this excruciating pain like no other. I really would like to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart because Piriformis Syndrome can become so unbearable, and no one knows unless they have endured. You will literally go from walking to crawling in a matter of seconds but I can actually say that I have fault through the pain with these stretches and I refuse to let this syndrome keep me down another year these exercises will be part of my daily routine from here on out Thank you so much
Dr. Rowe 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Keep at it!
My heart is overflowing with so much gratitude at 2:51 a.m. that I want to cry! I cannot tell you the level of desperation I've been in for months trying to get relief but unsuccessful. I didn't know what to do! I now finally have an answer and relief. Bless you for sharing these videos!
Finally -- exercises that not only address Piriformis pain, but also offer solutions to get rid of it. Yours are the first exercises I've seen that explain why it occurs. Thank you so much! Also, kudos for the straightforward and easy to understand delivery. Well done, sir. I'm starting these today. I can't wait to get some relief.
Hope the exercises help!
Thank you to see the opportunity in other ways
To do some exercises !
Hey how r u now Hope you recovered
I think your exercises are the first that have actually done anything for my pain. And that’s really saying something. Thank you !
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much, I was feeling so frustrated at my body and the pain I’ve been having. Such a great video
Unbelievable - immediate relief. Not the first time I have had this experience with your info. Many, many thanks!
It's like a miracle. All the exercises that you are instructing, have relieved my pain instantaneously. Thank you so much 🙏
Glad to hear you’re getting a lot of relief, and thanks for watching!
How's your pain?
Synchronicity! I'm 65 years old and have been having pain in my right lower spine, hip area for the last few days. This took it away, thank you. But shouldn't you create your own exercise software? You could call it Mike Rowe Soft. 😁
I’m sure Bill Gates and Co. would send me a letter for that 😂
My 3rd day in pain now.. And i found this. Thank you for this help. Please know you helped a lot of people all over the globe who are in pain. More blessings to you doctor.
I support your channel and I respect the knowledge you bring to me. Your videos are presented with easy to follow step-by-step instructions. And you have helped me more than anyone on the Internet. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
As I have been aging now 64 years old the pains in my body have been gradually increasing. I have been living with pains in my gluts, feet and neck for over a year. I thought the pains were from age, driving, sleeping wrong, and past overuse. I learned from your video that my pain is from my muscles getting weaker and I don’t have to live with it. I researched and found solutions for the pain in my feet. Through that research CZcamss algorithms recommended your video to me. Before watching your video I thought the pain on my right glut was from either sleeping wrong or a bad mattress . Your video convinced me that I was wrong. . The progressive pain has made me feel older and is tiring. It is preventing from doing things that I enjoy. The pain has been compounding because without taking care of it I am becoming weaker. I tried stretch exercises and discovered that my flexibility has declined significantly. I am confident that overtime following your instructions will make me more limber, stronger, feel a lot better and feel younger. Thank you!
Really glad you found this video and are getting relief... keep at it!
I was diagnosed with sciatica but knew I had NO back pain or issues, after watching your video I understand Piriformis and know it's the problem. I did all the exercises but the last 3 really helped in fact the pain in my ass 😆 and Legs I've suffered with for 3 week's is gone. THANK YOU ❤️
Keep at the exercises, and glad you're getting pain relief!

It's been 2 weeks for me now
only 3 weeks of pain?! :(

Years of physical Therapy that has never helped and didn't include anything like these!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the video and for sharing your knowledge.
Wow! I’ve tried numerous stretches over the course of a few months, and the ones in this video are the ONLY ones that bring relief to my glute - and fast! I am marathon training, so taking care of this glute pain is monumental in my training. Thank you for actually targeting the glute and surrounded areas with stretches/workouts that actually WORK!
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
These were great! Your videos are awesome. I love how you are concise, you don’t explain too quickly or too slowly, and have clear demos that keep my interest. Thank you for posting! 🌹
Well thank you, and thanks so much for watching!
This is my first review in my three decades of existence and I wanna tell people that this video changed my life. My pain of several months was gone in days.
Really glad you found this video!
This has been so helpful - thank you!!! I’ve only just started doing these exercises, some of the stretches I was already doing but then you took them up a notch which has been the real game changer. Thank you!!❤
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
I cannot believe that the very most basic exercise has given me relief already. Shall we say approximately 3 minutes? Stunning presentation. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped you, and thanks for watching!
I feel relief with some of my pain just doing this once. Your pace is on point, and this is by far the best video I've seen on this pain. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
I work for the post office and have been in tremendous pain for months and unable to get sustainable relief. I don't want to take meds, I want to not hurt. I want to be able to move better so I don't gain more weight from being seditary after work because of the pain. I'm going to do these exercises everyday. Hoping to feel better everyday. 🙏
I found this so helpful, been suffering for a while after a torn muscle but your clear common sense direction is so re assuring and helpful . Thank you
I have struggled with pain for years and your videos are some of the best information and help I’ve gotten. Thank you
Glad you found this video, and thanks for watching!
I was diagnosed with Piriformis Syndrome a few weeks ago. Earliest I could get a PT appointment is August, so I have been having pain in the butt since then. Thought I would try Dr. Rowe's video. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED IMPROVEMENT! Great combo of explanation of the problem and exercises to resolve. Thank you very much!
Great to hear you're getting relief!
How r u now!?
Still using this after a couple of years. Thankyou.
Really you are expert of this field. Your exercises helps me a lot, my pain totally gone, thanks a lot
Please know how much you help people and how much we all appreciate you
Happy to help, and thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic! Instant relief with just the 1st stretch demonstrated!!!
Thank you, what a great job!!
Glad it helped!
Absolutely the most complete routine and demo of what will work for relief and strengthening, so appreciate this.
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Dr. Rowe, I am new to your channel as of yesterday. And I have been binge watching (and participating!) in your exercises. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You are really having an impact on my pain and I hope to finally be able to to return to work in another few weeks. God bless you!
WOW! Thank you so much! I just did the first3 stretches you suggested, and I feel SO MUCH pain and tightness relief! THANK YOU for ur generosity in posting this video!
The first stretch relieved my pain almost instantaneously. I've been dealing with this pain for months - I could cry, I'm so happy. Thank you!
That's fantastic! Glad you found this video, and thanks for watching!

Glad you're getting relief!
Dr. Rowe Thanks a million. This Really helped. Easy to perform. Hope we have more great doctors on this planet.❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Dr Rowe for helping us piriformis sufferers ... simply amazing
Did something to my lower back (left side only) right around my waistline area deadlifting about a month ago. Have been dealing with some stiffness/lingering pain/soreness since then. Finding you channel and these exercises have been my only saving grace for relief!! Thank you so much!!!!
Glad you found the channel and are getting relief, and thanks for watching!
What if the clam shell November , first repetition, already triggers more pain? Shall I still continue the whole 15 reps?
I quit doing dead lifts .....I miss them but I always end up in agony for months after I did them...they are a no no for me anymore
@@deborahkissinger2260 same!
I was in agony and felt better immediately after trying the exercises! Can’t thank you enough.
Glad you're getting relief!
I never comment.....life saving....given freely....thankyou very much for this !!!
The best instructions on the internet 👌
Good advice. Strengthening is absolutely key and most people are told to stretch, stretch and if that doesn't work, stretch some more, sometimes for years. Restoring proper muscle function is essential.
Hey how r u
Did you recover
I've had this pain occur very occasionally since my mid-twenties and thought it was a trapped nerve. I'm chuckling to myself because the stretches that I found most successful in relieving it are a lot like some of the ones you are demonstrating! Thank you for explaining the cause and for showing how to relieve it and to prevent it from occuring again!
Thanks for watching!
How r u now
So glad I found your tutorial videos. They are helpful. Unfortunately after years of working, hip problems, lower and upper spine compression,bulging disks it's extremely hard to do a lot of the stretching options. You do a good job explaining what and how to do the self care stretching and truly appreciate your videos.
I will continue following you and will share your videos with others. Thank you for what you do!!
Thank you for watching and sharing, I appreciate it.
just incredible. Thanks a lot. I've been in pain for a few days and now I'm just deeply relieved
My wife does this for our Pilates Class. I travel, sitting a lot and I get very tight and my back goes out. I dislike doing most the exercises but they help me a great deal. Nice seeing someone teach this info and helping people.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. For the stretches and for demonstrating each movement and describing where it should be felt. Simple to follow instructions.
Thanks so much for watching!
Hey how r u now!? Any updates
@@vivianeraw8448 i haven’t been consistent with it, as I should be. However when I am consistent meaning doing the exercises at least twice a week, I feel more fluid in my mobility.
The best video I've seen on the piriformis. Well done sir
The extent you go to explain every step is so fluid to understand and follow God bless you
I have been dealing with sacroiliac joint dysfunction since 07. It can be so bad I can hardly get my right leg into the figure four position. It always starts of with my left buttock going into spasm where the piriformis muscle is. Some of your stretches really felt good for me. Sometime the spasms resolves. But sometimes if I can’t get it to calm down I get extreme burning sharp pain right above my coccyx. When this happens i get into terrible pain. I have started these excercises and I will bookmark your video. The strangest thing is one day it just happened and I’m really hoping you are right that I can get rid of this forever. Everytime the spasms
Start my anxiety goes through the roof because I am afraid the excruciating pain will happen.
8 years I used painkillers daily and went to 12 doctors to no avail, these exercises saved me, thank you from my heart
Glad you found the video and you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing what to do not only for relief but also to strengthen the muscles 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻. Truly appreciated 🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. Rowe! I followed your instructions and got rid the discomfort I had on my right hip right away.
I have struggled with this pain for months now.... the pain is alot better after this exercise. Thanks a million
Glad you're getting relief!
These short clips are really helpful and there are new ideas that work quickly! I am looking for the inner thigh side of the piriformis - glute weakness/tightness issue now!
The kickin' fire hydrant is great for glute and piriformis weakness. Hope it helps!
A thousand Thank you s . I had this over a week and was misdiagnosed so I was doing the wrong exercises....It seemed totally under control when I went to bed last night but I awoke with the pain in the butt worse than ever and desperate....Luckily I found your video this a.m. and the 4 stretches gave me great relief already! Thanks so much....and glad to know it's not sciatica, which I had decades ago and was afraid I was in for round #2...
During a drive back home to Ca from Idaho I developed this, it has been three months of pure torture, I am excited to give this a try!!
