How the Body Works!

Todays muscles is the Piriformis.

Piriformis is a flat muscle and the most superficial muscle of the deep gluteal (buttock) muscles.

The piriformis muscle can be used to locate the sciatic nerve. This nerve enters the gluteal region inferiorly to the piriformis. If the lateral rotators of the hip are tight they may exert pressure on the sciatic nerve, producing pain radiating into the lower extremity. This is known as Piriformis Syndrome.

Piriformis syndrome (PS) is a painful musculoskeletal condition, characterized by a combination of symptoms including buttock or hip pain.

There are more women diagnosed with Piriformis syndrome than men, with a female–to–male ratio of 6:1. This ratio can be explained by the wider quadriceps femoris muscle angle in the os coxae of women.

According to research there are two types of piriformis syndrome: primary and secondary.

Primary piriformis syndrome has an anatomical cause. Among patients with piriformis syndrome, fewer than 15% of cases have primary causes.

Secondary piriformis syndrome occurs as a result of a precipitating cause, including macrotrauma, microtrauma, ischemic mass effect, and local ischemia.

Piriformis syndrome is most often (50% of the cases) caused by macrotrauma to the buttocks, leading to inflammation of soft tissue, muscle spasms, or both, with resulting nerve compression. 🤓🤓🤓
