Piriformis Syndrome

A clear definition

Piriformis syndrome is one of the first pathologies we learn in Physical Therapy school.

It is easy to glance at the phrase and assume I knew what it was.

As I prepared my presentation on Current concepts on the Hip I realized my understanding of piriformis syndrome was not as clear as I had first thought.

Questions we need to answer

  • What is a syndrome?
  • Is sciatica a requisite symptom?
  • Presentation
