Many people who have been told they have "Piriformis Syndrome" stretch their piriformis muscle... because it feels tight and "hurts so good... temporarily. Often times piriformis syndrome is due to a muscle that is overworked, lengthened, and not able to handle the load that you are placing upon it. While true piriformis syndrome is rare strengthening this muscle usually helps out much more than stretching it. Things that may feel like piriformis syndrome but actually aren't include problems in the lower back (such as herniated discs), or problems in the SI Joint, hip issues, or even hamstring problems... So, if you've been stretching your piriformis and you haven't gotten relief OR find it only temporary... then try shortening or contracting it.

Hope this helps!
