Summary

Piriformis syndrome is a neuro muscular disorder which occur due to the compression and irritation of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle causing pain, tingling, and numbness in the buttocks and along the sciatic nerve. Muscle energy technique is one of manual technique in which the muscle uses its own energy in the form of isometric contraction to relax the muscle by the autogenic inhibition of reciprocal inhibition. Reciprocal inhibition in muscle energy technique was succeeded in relieving pain and improves flexibility.

Conditions

  • Piriformis Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

muscle energy technique

Group 1: Group 2: Muscle energy technique (Reciprocal inhibition) Stretching exercises Static stretching 2 weeks (twelve treatment session) patient supine, the treated leg is placed into flexion at the hip and knee, so that the foot rests on the table lateral to the contra-lateral knee (the leg on the side to be treated is crossed over the other, straight leg). * The angle of hip flexion should not exceed 60 degree. * The practitioner places one hand on the contra-lateral ASIS to prevent pelvis motion, while the other hand is placed against the lateral flexed knee as this is pushed into resisted abduction to contract piriformis for 7-10 seconds.

OTHER

stretching exercise

Following the contraction the practitioner eases the treated side leg into adduction until a sense of resistance is noted; this is held for 10-30 seconds. 2 week (twelve treatment session) practitioner manual stretches the piriformis: * The patient lies in supine position the affected leg is placed into flexion at hip and knee so that the foot rests on the table lateral to the contra-lateral knee. * The practitioner places one hand over the contra-lateral ASIS to stabilize the pelvis during the exercise and passively abducts and internally rotates the hip medially till the pain is bearable. * The process is repeated 3-5 times with a 30
