As a homecare nurse I have learned from these men....thank you
3 years with a Chiropractor and 1 ER visit later and I finally have a name for it! Thank you so much!
Carina. Same. One practitioner mumbled Periformis under his breathe and never said it again. Years and years and no one has applied the correct term. Some people really like to keep you stupid! It is very annoying. I'm going to a health centre with all kinds of practitioners but there really is a lack of good illustrations or a skeleton to refer to anywhere. I'm not sure what the aim is there... this is in France. No confidence in chiropractors that is for sure, they just don't exist here anyway.
I like using the word. “Piriformis” ...makes me sound intelligent . cool. Latin word literally means Pear Formed.
Great job! Brad great idea with that table strech for the pirifomis. You guys are so amazing. I use a 8 inch ribbed ball every morning. Makes a huge difference. Thanks a million everyone.
Just wanted to mention that the audio is very hard to follow. Usually you have a microphone on your shirt but it seems to not have happened today. I love the video though and am thankful for the info on addressing PS.
The same problem with me. There is a strong echo, that makes the speech not understandable at times.
Yes! Very hard!
I love the harmony between you too. You seem like such close friends and don't overpower over the other when one person speaks.
goOPPA. Oh they harmonize.together alright lol 15:28
This is so helpful! Thank you guys. Now I know what I need to do
I also duct taped TWO tennis balls thoroughly together side by side and roll on it up and down on my back and across my sore butt side, which helps a lot.

Tennis balls are the BEST!
I am having pain in the piriformis muscle and it triggers pain in the calf and feet too, feet having a feeling of sheathed and nerve tingling, for more than one month .....
What would you suggest me to do ....
Hi Bob & Brad! I've been suffering from Piriformis syndrome since September 2018. I couldn't walk up or down stairs, I couldn't stand up from being seated without help, I tried everything on the internet and was going to my MD for a referral to a PT who helped me last year with this on the other side! My MD was sick and I had to reschedule, so I didn't get any help. We had a terrible rain here, IN DECEMBER! Then it froze solid. My horses were in terrible danger of slipping on the ice that covered the earth. I had to shovel dry horse manure from the barn, to cover the ice, in an area to confine them. It took me all day, but I counted how many shovels full and aprox. weight of each shovel. I estimate that I lifted over 2 tons in one day! This kind of heavy work is not new to me, as I have been and extreme athlete all my life, and heavy work and workouts are not new for me. I collapsed from exhaustion last night after this, feeling happy the horses were no longer in danger of falling and breaking legs or hips! When I woke up this morning, MY EXCRUCIATING PIRIFORMIS PAIN HAS GONE DOWN TO ABOUT 2% OF WHAT IT WAS! I am not telling people to do what I did, but I couldn't find anyone to help me, and could not allow the horses to be in mortal danger! It showed me what I have always known and that is to try and work out your body's pain, in ways you know you have done all along. It seems I nearly cured my unbearable pain! Now, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT EXERCISES TO DO, TO STRENGTHEN THIS AREA SO I WILL NOT GET PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME EVER AGAIN! If you could comment on this, I would love to hear what you have to say, and LOOK FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY SEE THE EXERCISES YOU RECOMMEND, TO STRENGTHEN THIS AREA! MUCH THANKS!
Amazing
i already commented on your previous videos and thanked but god i should thank you everyday you saved me, i just found out your videos now and i did the stretches and massages and strengthening while watching the video and i already feel better. thank you again and god bless you
Did either of you ever have PS syndrome? Im 57 and it is most pain I have ever felt in my life. I cant even walk. It came on all of a sudden after nagging back pain for 2 weeks. I have had it for 3 weeks now, had injections and still cant walk right. Heat, Ice, massage, stretch, repeat, repeat. The constant pain that's a 10 that does not go away is insane. Im just now trying your stuff, so we will see.....
Any luck at all sir?
@@coreymichael1880 he died
sounds awful I can just about walk, am so mad with myself as I have been doing all sorts of core strengthening, but for a second I bent the wrong way.
Informative......but you guys didn't address the instability in the hips that causes the problem in the first place.......That needs to be adressed first, so that the imbalances are corrected prior to stretching and strengthening.
So greatful for these videos....I use the tennis ball too at work when my sciatic/piriformis kicks up. What is the name of the other massager, I don't see it here...I see the Nissal but not the other one.
Also, would these same excercises work for Sciatica?
Now I know what is wrong. Thank you
Help please any advice! . I herniated my disc by carefully squatting down with both legs then leaning forward to pick up some mail of the floor and "pop!" . Its been one week of laying flat on a reclining sofa and mc kenzy exercises etc . I believe ive managed to re absorb my herniation . I also suffer with DDD. My problem now is this....I have a belly full of fear with legs like jelly at times and I am petrified to bend over or move as normal , in fear my fragile disc will blow out again .I'm moving about like a walking ironing board due to fear and in confidence. How do I get over this ? How can I test my ability to bend and put my socks on without blowing my disc again ?
PLEASE fix the audio. You have such good information. The audio is fuzzy and echo-y.
So I shouldn't be doing kneeling hip flexor stretches with piriformis pain in both glutes?
It took 20 freaking years to find this out from you guys
Oh, my goodness you really helped me find out one of my true reasons why I have trouble with numbness and sometimes pain going down my leg. I thought it was because of my Osteoarthritis in my back or my sciatic acting up. I mentioned this in my last comment from your last video. Thanks so much for your advice again.
You two ever think about doing a comedy act …you two are gems working together… We surely appreciate all your help with pain relief 🥲 guidance 👍
God watch over you both! 👏👏👏
Please start sending your study to urologists worldwide . Please !
Men get so
Many issues in the pelvic area and doctors and urologists do not even consider this .
Years of torture .. how
Many men have taken their lives ?
It doesn’t just cause pain , urinary issues are torture .
How
Many men have taken their lives beacause of this ?
U go to the urologists who
Are
Supposed to help
You .. and u end up spending thousands and get nowhere being told they can’t help you .
I am sorry that you have problems with getting a urologist to help you.
I am a woman so don't have the same issues as men but am familiar with incontinence.
If a urologist can't help you, please have your insurance company work with your primary care physician so that you can be referred to another specialist. Urologist will only address bladder urthra ( the tube - I didn't spell it right) and other urinary parts only, even if incontinence is a symptom.
Best wishes. It's not easy for either a man or a woman to deal with urinary issues. I have long ago stopped beating up on myself or consider taking my life. It's not a crime to be unwell. It is a crime to take ones life.
is there any way the TENS machine could help with the pain?
Please do a shorter video that focuses on the exercises in a row without so much talking.
BTW I use Elaine Petrone Miracle balls in that area...my clients purchase them and I give "homework." They aren't as severe as a Lacrosse ball.
I appreciate you guys you're down to earth approach your comradity to one another and it comes through to your viewers I appreciate the simplicity and the knowledge of your approach to every health question
I really love these two guys, think they're on coke though, lol.
Love the tennis ball, use it all the time!
Also Bob keeping you in prayer thank God you're mental knowledge is there and praying for healthy results for your health in Jesus name thank you Brad for being a good call helper with your knowledge and helping others as well and Chris your pharmacist visitor
Please keep up the good work you are truly appreciated
Perfect timing...I have an appointment this afternoon for a deep tissue massage for exactly this issue. Also, your comment about addressing this issue for folks with MS would be WELCOME, Thanks for your help and humor while you do these videos. I'm a grateful fan.
The problem I have is the painful side is very loose or flexible compared to the non painful side.
Is there any possibility there is a connection between Piraformisa Syndrome and Fibromyalia? The old test for Fibromyalgia included pressing on that area to see if it caused pain so, this caused me to think this way. Thx guys!
I do have fibro and pain in that area
Would this cause hip pain, I have a very sore spot in my left buttocks and pain in hip
How are you feeling. ? I have the same left hip pain sciatica and piriformis going on three months. Was wondering if my pain will go away. . Am doing the exercises etc thanks. Hope you are doing well and what advice can you offer
Wonderful as always, sound is as it is and I am grateful for your offerings no matter how the video sounds or the visual!
Hopefully this can help someone. Please try it!
If you do a video, please coin it the 'TT piriformis stretch' :)
The stretches that give me instant and most relief, and can be done in
bed:
1a. Lay with knees pointed up and feet close to butt about shoulder
width apart.
1b. On the side of pain, rotate the knee inward so that the bottom of
the foot is parallel with the body.
1c. Put the other leg, foot, or ankle over knee of the side of pain to
hold it down for the stretch.
It'll feel great and will stretch not just the piriformis but the entire
butt and hip and lower back.
2a. Lay with knees pointed up and feet close to butt about shoulder width
apart.
2b. On the side of pain, drop the knee so that it points forward and the
foot is next to the hip.
2c. Take your hand and push upward on the foot.
It'll feel great and will stretch not just the piriformis but the entire
butt and hip and lower back.
I've experience sciatic pain from my butt down to my toes possibly due
to excessive sitting at my work and hill hiking.
The figure 4 stretch sometimes work, but not always. My butt will spasm
and tighten up throughout the day.
What I became aware of is I sit crossed legs in a butterfly manner a
lot, to take pressure off the pain, but it was making it worse. The
stretches above puts the muscle in the opposite direction and the next
day I was pain free.
Where can I purchase a 9 inch ball to do the exercise placing it between my knees and squeezing? I’ve looked at every store and tried a few but none are the same as I use when I’m at theraphy
Appophia l love you som
Can you do a video about multiple sclerosis and leg strengthening and how to improve drop foot and how to correct how you step when you walk. I walk heal toe on one foot and to heal on the other. I do not pick up that foot/leg/knee very good either it is on the left side. And what can you do for spasticity and other things MS related. I just started the Coimbra protocol and have been on it 29 days today, my walking has improved since starting it. I just want to make sure I am doing all I can.
I need addition help. Was a high-level Runner and triathlete when a suspected glute med tear has led to 6 month of piriformis syndrome. I've tried Physical Therapy, dry needling, massage, foam rolling, stretching, and strengthening and cannot get relief. What can I do?
This might be a dumb question but are you guys actually friends in real life?
Famously hardworking and funny.
olivia ginsbourg I
It took 20 freaking years to find out I had a piriformis problem and that's sciatica but both
How am I supposed to avoid running on hills when I live in the mountains? 😟
Can these muscles effect your stomach area? I been having radiating pain in my stomach area. It feels like pinch feeling in my abdomen.
you two make me laugh If I could put my leg up like that I wouldn't need treatment.
I'm in terrible pain now 😭 please help. Trouble walking.
You guys are very explicit in your presentation, thanks guys ....
Hello i want to ask you i mosyly feel pain in my left but and i goea downwards but sometimes no pain movibg down just lower back i dont understand ia ot priformia syndrome or herinated disc
This is perfect 🙏🫂 thank you 🙏
My physical therapist has been doing the massage every time I go and two or three times between exercises. Wow what a difference it makes.
Great video
what about the roll, how would you use it
Hi there. Thank you very much for your videos. I am trying to do the leg stretch as you showed in this video, but I can feel a lot of clicking in my lower back. I have been having this lower back issue for quite some time, and I wonder if it is the cause of my gluteus tension on my left side. On the same leg I had strained calf muscle few months earlier. I just wonder what am I having exactly. I am so annoyed of this condition. I wonder if you could suggest a specific video to watch to fix my problem.
Please never stop you videos. They are helping so many of us!
“It’s a little muscle that’s in your butt Brad.” These guys are the best ever!!
What if you don't have pain radiating down your leg but you have pain in your but and lower to mid back
Also hip pain. So essentially pain in hips, butt, and lower back
Stephanie Walton This is me at the moment! Please help :-)
Great!!!
How long does the limp and short steps last? I am into 10th week. Without doing as much stretching as I should be doing.
Sitting with my leg crossed is one of the only things that relives the pain in my butt ☹️
You guys are great! I follow you on Facebook as well! So very helpful especially to people like myself who live in areas that lack these services such as physical therapy. Next closest place is a two hour drive! So thanks so much for doing these great videos! Not sure what I have but have been suffering with lower back, hip, and groin pain. Hope to get to the root of it soon!
I just had a hip x-ray, what do you do if crossing your leg hurts too much ? Thank You for these videos ♥️♥️
Most advise you to never cross your legs
Love you guys!
I suffer those symptoms of Periformis Syndrome. This affects me whem I am standing up errect. When I sit i get instant reliefe !!! Could someone, please share with me if you experience this too !
sounds like me, I am sitting here trying not to need the toilet.
Hopefully this can help someone. Please try it!

I had this but thinking it was a sciatica. Much more intense than sciatica. It's still not resolved, but better.Very painful for me to sit or stand or lay down. Pivoting is impossible. Have to make a "3-point turn" Kneeling is ok and the least painful way to get up and down. I have to have something to hang on to.
This is an awful awful pain. I hit my foot on a piece of furniture while vacuuming. The foot hurt alot and was bruised, but the pain in my hip/buttocks and leg were like nothing I've ever experienced before.
Heat and ice packs. Lacrosse ball massages. Creams potions and pills and 90 days later it's a little better. I can't walk more than 5 mins without left foot going numb.
Lots of physical therapy and I will be good to go.
Best wishes. I went from not knowing I had a piriformis, to being aware of it 24/7 !!!! 😂 Funny/not funny lol
very poor quality of video but i believe in you folks!
great advise guys, very helpful now I know what I can do, Thanks
ive had this for over 2 years now..is there an mri that would show it ? would i need PT ?
MRN … different scan will pick it up .
And PT would help most likely
Great video Thanks
I love the videos too, but you guys are overworked! Try doing fewer per week!
Work-Life balance, right?
Earlier today I just experienced severe low back pain as typically I do sometimes related to MVA back in 2004. My concern is this and I've never had this happen the palms of my hands so excruciating least painful and this is after Dean out my name narcotic medication that I take for migraines not touching it shall be concerned? I do not drink alcohol and I prefer not to take narcotics surely there a reason and solution to this and quickly I hope say sorry for the typos as I said I'm frantic and pain thanks so much love you guys
What If it hurts doing those stretches?
You guys are fun to watch.. Great info!!!
Is it oke to do the practice with a artificial hip?
Does the pain have to be going down your leg in order for it to be Piriformis Syndrome?
mine isn't this time its all in my butt, and so painful.
do u have upload test for different joint pain ?
I have it it's terrible sometime.
Pain down to my right foot😩
would siting on a thermatex pad affect sperm count? Or have some other affect on that area?
That is a good question. I am not sure but I am sure a Physician would easily answer that.
yes it would you are supposed to keep cool down there
So helpful
THANK, Guys! I needed this!!!
The sound no good
Bob is awesome haha.
I love your videos, thank you. I send them to my clients daily.
Finally found what I have been dealing with for 5 months now. Watching many videos. I hurt myself in the gym doing leg stretches on a machine that has weights. I feel I over did myself causing this pain. I also for a long time sit on my right leg when going out to dinners. The same leg causing the issues. Glad I found this video. NOW the only problem I see is watching the video that has a lot of background noise while you guys are explaining things, and the video is not that great. Anyway of making another video of this.
Wow, this was so incredibly helpful !!
Thank you!!! :) :) :)
- and you two are SO great together! You guys make SUCH a great team :)
It's a joy to watch you and a joy to learn from you.
(and a joy to feel less pain as I implement your various suggestions ;) )
Love your videos! Please comment on older folks who sit in a recliner.
How to prevent piriformis pain?
15:28 lolol .. Gay
You 2 waste way to much time. You waste our time with your ridiculous routine. Just get to the advice an cut out the comic routine
will Un subscribe, very unprofessional video, to much background talking,
I like the commentary.
Run along then! These guys help alot of people. Where can I find YOUR videos? .....that's what I thought. PS You can't spell! Very unprofessional!
go on then
they do it during hours so there are other things going on too in the building
Butthurt? Maybe it's your piriformis.
there is to much background talking, which is quite annoying.... very unprofessional.
I like it.. although I am having a problem with the quality of the audio... I love the informality of the presentation. Thanks.
