The Piriformis Muscle/Piriformis Syndrome

PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME —commonly referred to as pain in the butt--The piriformis muscle is a small muscle deep under the glutes. It is triangular in shape with the wide end attached to the front of the sacrum and the narrow end attached to the hip.

The reason the Sacro Wedgy® has been helpful with this symptom is the sacrum is slightly elevated and placed in a neutral position allowing the suspended hips freedom to drop or relax on either side of the sacrum. The body weight, as you relax gives the piriformis muscle a chance to relax and return to a proper balance. It may require using the Sacro Wedgy® for a while to keep the balance. That little muscle is the culprit for a lot of symptoms. It can be the beginning of quite a "snowball".

Piriformis is a painful syndrome involving the lower back and hips, but it is better know as "a pain in the butt." It's named after the piriformis muscle, which can create tension in the sciatic nerve, causing pain along with a "heavy leg" feeling.

The solution may be simpler than you think, so try the most convenient methods first, like the time-proven Sacro Wedgy®. Relaxing the tension away is usually the best method of treatment.
