Thanks a lot guys! I was about to have epidural injections in my lower spine but I have since identified my issue as piriformis syndrome and found an extremely painful trigger spot on the left buttocks. Got the handheld massager and now I can walk without the cane! Continuing daily and it really helps.
Omg this makes me happy.. I started using a cane last week..
Similar to your experience, I get shooting pain suddenly in my left butt. I’m assuming is a nerve entrapment- aka sciatica. Oh god, I’m desperate for a solution. Maybe I’ll try the massage gun
are you okay now?
That's wonderful
I was literally bed bound the last 2 days with off the chart pain. I used the massage for about 5 mins with ice on the surrounding area. I’m relieved for the first time in days. Thank you guys!
I've had this pain for like 20 something years and were just learning about "false sciatica"?! What a great time to be alive! I don't have to have this much longer!! 😁😁 Why yes. I've been asleep all day because I was massaging with my gua sha tool last night and boy, what a rough day. I definitely just am tired of being in pain. This is right on time for me. Much love, y'all.
It WORKED!!!! Oh my goodness relief. I used my Theragun as you suggested and the pain that’s been plaguing me for the past week IS GONE. We have a 24 hour drive coming up in a couple of days and I’ve been so worried. I love you guys.
I don’t understand how I’ve learned more on your channel then my own doctor. We know it don’t have a herniated disk … or sciatica issues after images done. But why they didn’t think of this blows my mind. All my symptoms connect this and the FAIR test aggravates it even more. I bought a Bob and Brad gun a year ago after watching you guys. Hopefully this is it !! And I can move forward with recovery for good!!!
I would love an update on how you're doing...sending positive vibes. ❤️🙏🏽✨
I want to thank you guys. I had a debilitating deep gluteal spasm at the gym. Watched your video and a couple others. Stretches helped some. The massage gun REALLY helped -- enough to try the gym next day. Worked out after foam rolling and stretches, was able to do a full workout including legs -and after a few leg exercises the pain completely subsided. The massager made the difference.
UPDATE: I got my Q2 Mini Massage Gun a few days back and been stupid busy until this morning. OMG. I cried (tears of joy and relief) while I used it on my thigh muscles and calf muscles the release of tension. It felt WONDERFUL! It's so quiet and so easy to use. In the mornings sitting at the table eating breakfast, if I have to get up for any reason it's done very slowly due to so much stiffness and pain in knees legs, back. I sat there using the Q2 and the relaxing of the thigh muscles....wow....don't know what else to say. After I stopped, I got up without any stiffness. I'm truly looking forward to using it daily. THANK YOU BOTH for making this for all of us who suffer out there!!!
Another UPDATE. From the early 90s I began experiencing intense muscle seizures after a really bad reaction to vaccine in the military. Yes, NOT CRAMPS, not charlie horses. These were SEIZURES in my calves. Always happening in the hours between 12am and 5am. They would wake me up with such intense pain. Then for days my calves would ache horribly. It has left me with knots in my calves that because they are there, make them even more vulnerable to doing it again. I have been taking VitD , Calcium and Magnesium now for several years which has helped alot but I still get them. In the past few days I have been working on these with the Q2 gun and to my amazement they are diminishing. When I first began, they were EXTREMELY tender but I did the gradual thing, working around them then zeroing in. Relief for the first time in what...3 decades. 30 years!!!
Thank you Bob and Brad! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for your comment. I JUST ordered one of those a couple days ago…treating a very bad lower back injury after simply bending over, of all things. Good to know it made a difference for you!
Booootaaaay. This actually helps me out. Thanks guys!
I have this issue and I bought your theragun so I’m going to do this...thank you
Best of luck!
I have that! Thank you!
This is EXACTLY what is wrong with my left side. I've gone to PT for it, they used E-Stim and that helped tremendously but you have to have the right therapist doing it for you. It isn't just about the certification. The very first time I had it done, the therapist went in lightly with the stimulation and that helped. Then she slowly bumped up the electrical stimulation. That released it after YEARS of pain. I went home in tears of joy that day.
I had to go back after about a year and have it done again. Now it's been a couple of years or more and it's plaguing me again and now I can't get there due to other health problems keeping me at home. (NOT COVID). I'm hoping to gain some information here that will help me do something to get relief here at home. Okay, going back to watching now :)
This is my exact problem also - I have lower leg false sciatica from the tight Piriformis muscles - which have been tight my entire life even though I have loose ligaments when I stretch. Now at 61 it has affected my whole left leg. I bought the larger percussion gun about 3 months ago and it's wonderful - I use the round ball type head and it feels great - I need to step it up and get the one that get's more into the painful spots - ouch! I'm going to try the Class 4 Laser treatment next because now I'm having other issues with what I thought was a pulled groin muscle - but may all be associated with this.
Recently my urogynecoligist recommended vaginal ice for 6 minutes or sit on an ice pack for 6 minutes. There is also a tool to release pelvic floor muscles shaped like a Z .....sort of.

Doing this immediately with my massage gun!!
20 years ago, I very slightly slipped in the bathroom and was sore in my glute area a few hours later. However, a week later, I just went to bend over to pick something up and something ripped in that area. I couldn’t even walk. It was the worst pain I’ve ever had in my 50 years. It felt like my lower spine was just floating there. That lasted at least a week, then I had horrible muscle spasms for months. I wasn’t able to get to ER at the time (January in Colorado), so it was never treated. I’ve had X-rays and an MRI since then and the spine is okay, so I believe I ripped away the piriformis muscle. I’ve had sharp pain around the area known as the dimples of Venus when I stand or walk more than a few minutes without support. I also have sciatic pain all the way down my leg. All day, every day. A massage gun helps temporarily, at least. And yes, it’s a “hurts so good” pain when I use the gun.
Thanks guys for your vidéos, they help a lot. Thanks to you, I cured my back problèmes :)
I have had a sedentary job for almost 30 years, but never really had an issue with this until after a recent tkr.
Loved this video. Do you happen to have a video in sacroiliac joint pain/ syndrome? Mine moved a few months back and after working on it, it only gets better periodically and then gets out of wack again. I was thinking it was my piriformis or glute that was damaged but now I don’t think so.
We do have a video on that. We have several actually, so if this one doesn't help, you can use the search function on our page to search SI joint and all the videos we have will come up: ruclips.net/video/c4HGOT9A5Mw/видео.html
Thanks again for the discussion. Can you cover low cold laser meant for muscles?
This has been suggested a few times so we do have this on our list of things to do! Hopefully we can get a video uploaded in the near future on it. Thanks!
Can you use this if you have implementation from a laminectomy in lumbar region
Would anyone know if the toloco brand is as good as brad and Bob's? Its 30 quid cheaper is why I'm asking. Cheers
I believe i have this problem. I have it for two years now and the pain/uncomfortable feeling radiates to my right testicle from bottom right lower stomach area. Did a scan and everything but they couldn’t find stones or such. I did your tests in the video and the pain side was noticeably more painfull than the other side which has no problems. How would i go about it with the gun?
When X2 and T6 massage guns will be avaiable? Are these more powerful and deeper than the previous ones?
Oh man. This video is going to change my life. After an L5-S1 fusion i am still suffering with sciatica. It must be this.
I got myself a Renpho Massager ,wish I hadn't .I used it for the first time last night am now in more agony than I was . Can you tell me why.
Would this problem cause nerve twitching in my calf muscle and down to my ankle? My chiropractor said I have Piriformis gluteus issues and I’m wondering if this is causing my nerve twitching, especially when I’m sitting? Thank you.
Must say the Bob n Brad T2 gun is AMAZING.
Ive had cheaper ones, which were pretty good ,but dont last.
Which is why i decided to invest in this better one.
Instantly felt the difference. It penetrates much deeper, much more relief.
Running it over my glutes helps so much even though they're so sore if u find that sore spot i just hold still on that area for 20 seconds speed 3 and press hard. The relief ! Follow by hemp oil.
I do it whenever im in pain
Love the case too ! Handy to carry 😊
Does walking make the piriformis muscle tighter?
A good Tens also works.
Too much sitting can aggravate this as well. I had Botox injected into this muscle, and Lidocaine, but worked only marginally. This muscle can also cause vibrating, tingling in the butt and down the leg. The massage guns work good on this, also the shiatsu massagers can go really deep.
Yep I have this tingling into my legs from points on my buttocks, I could hardly walk during the summer because my thigh muscles were tight and trembling. 6 months of it with the fake sciatica and now I have the answer.
I didnt see a recommended time/duration for the use and How many times a week is suggested? 2-3?
I have that pain exactly how u describe. Plus osteoarthritis in my left knee. Trying to avoid knee replacement
We hope our exercises can help! Best of luck!
Brad what is the name of that gun I have piriformis and I’m in such pain. I’ve had 60 shots in my back and need something in between as now
@BobandBrad is your D6 model’s 16mm amplitude too deep for piriformis syndrome? I’m in the market and need to purchase asap
Does it work for sciatica?
I’ve had pain in both butt cheeks for over 6 months, HELP . I WILL TRY THIS
So I’ve done everything from, PT, yoga, this…. For my piriformis issue. Anybody do the shot and get good results for this stuff that hasn’t worked?
Do you have any recommendations on how frequent and how long to do the massage? I enjoy your videos as they are very informative but frequently they don’t explain how often or for how long you recommend the treatments. Thank you

I wonder why nobody ever mentions that a certain period of REST is needed for these muscles to heal.
How much time is needed?
Can this cause lower back pain above the glute area ?
Mine does
do you guys know of anything for arthritic spine, neck, left hand? I also have osteoporosis. as a result of these disabilities, i am afraid to go to the gym, as the trainers there r not for old ladies like me. i am afraid i will injure myself further if i do this on my own, w/o advice. I am a widow living on ss, so i cannot get what i need from the md's. if u know of as device which will help me, please rsvp. thanx for your attention.
I can't advise but wanted send my love to you x
I got a massage gun, and worked around the piriformis. I don’t know if I have been using too much pressure, because now it seems to hurt more. Can you do irreversible damage to the piriformis I am scared it won’t get better now? It felt so good putting pressure on it, but now it doesn’t seem like it’s helping at all.
Highly doubt you’d do any permanent damage to a muscle. It could just be sore from the massage. Give it a bit of rest and see if it improves
It's just sore afterwards
Niceeeeeee video
Thanks!
@@BobandBrad ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just looked on Amazon and there is a freaking TON of them. how do I know which is best??. Oy.
Go to Bob & Brad on Amazon - you can get a discount if you link from this video actually. I have their gun and it's great!
I bought a crappy one and returned it, and got the Bob and Brad, this thing is excellent, it's recommended on other sites too. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
We recommend ours of course LOL! Here are the links: 1) C2 Massage Gun: amzn.to/36pMekg

Can it be of genetic origin? Like my father has it in his 30s and I have it from my teens until now
My father has it too and I'm in the same situation.
Can u use it on ur osteoarthritis knee?
Hi Bob and Brad! I commented on the last video, and I would like to ask a question. What could cause a pain in the knee when trying to straighten it? Also it is more on the outside of my knee, so I'm thinking that it it could be a lateral meniscus tear, But I tried your excercises to see if I have a problem with my meniscus or no. But nothing was hurting at all. I would appreciate your help! Also big love!
Hey mate polak im not bob or brad but i did cure myself from piriformis.
The answer to your knee problem is to realign your sciatic if its being strangled by the piriformis.
When i corrected my own piriformis i was able to fully flex my leg
Then i pulled my foot up to my chest the .
Kapow. My knee popped into place.

Probably IT band is rubbing the outer knee.
A few days ago a non-orthopedic doctor suggested that I have a Bursitis problem although I have the exact symptoms you describe. Pain runs from the outside of my leg (not on the butt) all the way down to my ankle and quite painful when I walk. Can I use the same PT treatment that your Piriformis videos show, including this one, for Bursitis on the Trochanter? Thank you!
There's another thing they recommend of laying on your stomach then pushing the upper body up. Look for their videos on their RUclips channel. Think there is a playlist.
Hi! Here are a couple of videos for the bursitis: ruclips.net/video/2Q9QKFnXMTk/видео.html

@@BobandBrad Thank you!!!
I’m potentially having this problem right now. For about 4 months pain in my hip. At first I thought it was bursitis but I started to feel it across the upper part of the butt as well. And one day I had such a bad attack it was like sciatica, it was excruciating. It gets worse when I sit and better when I stand and move around. I have a massage gun and I’m going to try this. I heard the whole scar tissue thing in muscles isn’t real though?
I also have pain radiating down right testicle from lower right stomach area. Is that something you also experienced?
@@stormtraders can’t help ya there buddy, I ain’t got any balls!
@@mortithedog8088 😜👍🏼
I got periformists mussel to release using this teknic, and it was like an orgasm for my leg. no more sciatica. Thanks guys.
Does Piriforms ,generally, hurt more with standing and walking ? I am pain free in bed. +ve pain in the left leg and foot with walking a few seconds. Sudden onset after sleeping on hard cotton mattress for 10 days . +ve pain in toilet seat ( left buttock) . Duration 3 weeks. Improving.
Same for me too. Going to the loo is a nightmare
yes toniprrp..I also have spot like pain . about the size of a quarter .....near where i tie the shoe lace...it comes and goes.....i wonder if that is typical of Piriformis....I suggest you do squats because strong glutes soon helped me on toilet seat which used to so painful....i broke my foot twice ..6 months apart....earlier this year ( walking on uneven ground ) and my glutes became woft as a result of immobilization...the bones healed but the left side weakened.
@@aldorsey1848 I cannot do squats because I have dodgy knees
Sitting and standing to long
I'm suspect of ordering things like this on Amazon. Can you provide a brand name or website specifically for this massage gun???
ALSO, I'm a petite woman in her 60s and would like to know the brand of the smaller one???
The smaller one is the Bob and Brad Q2 Mini Massage Gun. I ordered it from Amazon - it had excellent independent reviews on it !

We understand, there are some people that are leery of ordering off Amazon. Unfortunately, our massage guns are currently only offered on Amazon. The Q2 Mini Massage gun would be our smaller one, but it still does have intensity. We also have a handheld massager that is a lot less power if you are looking for a softer massage. Here are our links to all our guns, I apologize, they are all thru Amazon : 1) C2 Massage Gun: amzn.to/36pMekg
2) Q2 Mini Massage Gun: amzn.to/3oSMBu9
3) Handheld Massager: amzn.to/2TxZBqU

Hey Bob, you’re speech is kind of slurred in this video, are you okay?
Absolutely fantastic! I'm in love with this! 🎨 👄👄👄🍌🍌🍌
Oh, this is absolutely precious! Pure joy! 🌈 👅👅👅🍑🍑🍑
I know this quarter sized spot! I usually will start with the large ball, then move to the flat head, and eventually will take the pointed tip to the spot. It is INTENSE! I am usually sore 2-3 days later.
But I prefer to lay on the non painful side, put a broom stick around my leg to rotate my hip more (ie: ruclips.net/video/QbTekGrsKi8/видео.html), then place that pointed head right in the Quarter sized pain spot.
