[@AnneliedeWet]

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!

[@vivianeraw8448]

How are you now

[@adrianahaverhoek]

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.

[@aarijhussain183]

@@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?

[@Cas.1964]

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!!!☺️

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 KZbins 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.

Thousands of pounds later, after chiropractor sessions, massage, dry cupping, private physios....and I'm no better at all. Every day is miserable and takes every bit of my energy to get through it. My hip also needs clicking a few times a day by externally rotating it whilst standing. It feels like it constantly gets stuck. Every now and then it flares up so bad it prevents me from weight bearing. My glute (also right side) is constantly aching, has a numb feeling and cramps. Piriformis or hip impingement?? As I'm still no closer to an answer, despite this diagnosis. Everything I've tried hasn't worked. I'm here in desperation after so many treatments, and after watching so many videos, all which fail. 50 year old female - previously very active. Help 🙏

[@cobyyaklin3957]

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.

[@DrRowe]

Glad it helped!

[@cobyyaklin3957]

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. 🙏

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 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!

I’m feeling so much better! Thank you! If you’re trying this in the morning and it’s too painful, try in the evening. I found my body more limber and more accepting of the exercises at that time of day with better range of motion to stretch the muscles.

[@Spangletiger]

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!

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!

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.

Hi Doc .. I had this pain yesterday while walking home. Never had anything as painful as this. I could hardly lift my right leg up and step on my right foot .. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ..

I can't say thank you enough for your help 😀 I want to update the result that I'm comepletely cured after more than 6 weeks following your techniques. Last Friday, I played a 80 minutes soccer game with the 25-45 group. On Monday, I ran 45 minutes, speed training for 30', legs and hips strengthening 30'. Today, I feel totally great. No pain!😀I'm 55 years old and living with the periformis pain for many years and had no idea what caused that. Sometimes, I couldn't drive bc the pain on my butt's cheeks were so great. Be patient, in two weeks, you feel 30% less pain, in 3 weeks you feel 50% less pain and keep working for a month. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

[@unassailable6138]

Are you still cured?

[@dean3583]

@@unassailable6138 Absolutely 100% fixed, I think, it's been two weeks now. I don't even think about the old problem until you remind me. I just drove 4 fours last week to pick up my kids from university without a "pain in the butt". My suggestion is to stop doing any activity with the legs and butts that may trigger the problem like deadlifting or running for about a month until you feel 75% better than gently getting back to yr routines. Use that time to work on the upper body and strengthen your core. I added martial arts groin and leg stretching exercises too.

[@barrysines4593]

This video helped me realize that muscle is exactly what is giving me irritations. I just did this stretch at work and it worked right away. This gives me a simple thing to do to solve this annoying muscle problem that keeps me awake at night. :). I'll keep working on the long term solutions. This is helping me thank you.

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

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

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.

The pain become really hurt every morning, then I found this video. I did the exercise and it is really hard but I keep doing it until the last one. Now, the pain is still there but there is a bit improvement that I feel. I will try to do this exercise everyday and I hope I can get walk and sit normally soon. It's really hard for me to only able laying on my bed doing nothing. I don't know why but I believe that this video can help me. Thanks a lot for sharing this to me, I'm not that rich to afford profesional to help me. Really glad to found your video. I promise that I will be better and I will walk soon. I can do it.

I am so impressed with what you do. I had a bad back for 50 years. I fell hrad at 14 and broke my coccyx, though that wasn't discovered for 20 years. I'm sure I've spent 5 years of my life limping with sciatica. Five years ago said, 'let's see if we can fix it' -- stretching and strengthening everywhere in the body. At last, diagnosis and treatment are clear. Thank you.
