When I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, I spent several years trying to get relief and fix the pain, only to make it worse.
I tried to do a ton of stretches, exercises, lots of treatments, or deep tissue release for the piriformis muscle, and nothing seemed to work.

The Piriformis Muscle:
The piriformis muscle originates from the anterior sacrum, S2S4, and sacroiliac joint, passing transversely through the greater sciatic foramen and inserting into the greater tr cantor. So it is a very important hip stabilizer.
The piriformis muscle passes through that foramen and occupies most of its volume. This is why piriformis syndrome can also cause sciatica. The sciatic nerve passes below the piriformis muscle for most of the population. And in the case of piriformis syndrome, the muscle shortens, becomes overactive, and tight and sometimes it exerts pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Causes of Piriformis Syndrome:
Piriformis syndrome can have many causes, from bad posture and flawed movement patterns that cause imbalances.

Sciatica vs. Piriformis Syndrome:
Sciatica is different from piriformis syndrome.
Even though piriformis syndrome can also have symptoms that include sciatica because the muscle will irritate the nerve. However, sciatica has different causes which are related to disc compression or disc issues such as disc herniation or disc bulge. Piriformis syndrome pain is mostly very local to the buttocks, and it's usually on the side of the glutes. It feels like a deep buttock pain.
