Hip Health & Yoga for Piriformis Syndrome

The piriformis muscle may entrap the sciatic nerve in the buttock, imitating spinal conditions.  Nevertheless, the actual pathology is significantly lower down, in the buttock.  More than a decade ago Dr. Fishman invented a definitive test for piriformis syndrome, and has seen more than 17,000 (yes thousand) patients who think they have it – about half of them do.  The yoga treatment for it is excellent, but the big problem is identifying piriformis syndrome amid all the other problems in the hip that may mimic it: in this workshop you’ll learn how to recognize it, and treat it, as well as getting familiar with the other possible causes of the same symptoms.
