Self Myofascial Release in Individuals With Piriformis Syndrome
Conditions: Piriformis Muscle Syndrome
Sex: All
Ages: 20 Years – 40 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 63
Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital
Location: Turkey
Summary
Piriformis syndrome is pain that extends from the hip to the knee, caused by the pressure of the piriformis muscle in the hip on the sciatic nerve.
There is no valid protocol for the treatment of this syndrome.
Physiotherapists generally use hip strengthening exercises and modalities for pain.
In this study, in addition to the classical treatment, we will give two different programs consisting of self-myofascial relaxation and stretching exercises to two different groups for 4 weeks as home exercise.
We will question the level of pain that people felt in the hip before starting the exercises and at the 4th week after starting the exercises and measured the hip joint range of motion.
