Piriformis Syndrome is a malady in which a nerve is pinched by the piriformis muscle. Because of the way pain (and other sensations) radiate, it’s not necessarily easy to differentiate this syndrome from a low back injury. However, the descriptions of the specifics of this condition, and the test used to diagnose, it may give one insight as to whether one is looking in the right direction for the cause of one’s butt and leg pain.One nice feature of this book is that it explains how yoga can be used both as part of the treatment regimen and as a preventive measure. The yogic treatment consists of just four classical postures of Hatha Yoga: Janu Shirshasana (head to knee pose), Parivrtta Trikonasana (twisted triangle pose), Matsyendrasana (a simple twisting pose named for a sage), and Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (twisted side angle pose.) However, yoga teachers who have students who’ve been diagnosed with this condition will find it nice that the book gives modifications and clarifications pertaining to use of the postures to help such people.There are seven chapters in the book. The first describes the condition and its cause. The second chapter explains the connection between the condition of piriformis syndrome and the symptom of sciatica. Chapter three clarifies the ways in which this condition may be misdiagnosed, and this is followed up by the chapter that shows how it is diagnosed by both physical examination and by imaging technology. Chapter five gives a basic overview of the available treatment options including injections, drugs, physical therapy, surgery, and yoga. The next chapter talks about the state of research. The last chapter explores the yoga asana that can be used to help treat or prevent piriformis syndrome. There are a few graphics. These include line drawings such as of the diagnostic physical exam, and photos of modified versions of the yoga postures.I’d recommend this book for those who’ve been diagnosed with this ailment, who believe they might have it, but also for yoga teachers who are interested in expanding their understanding of the afflictions of which their students may suffer—so as to be prepared to help them or, at least, not hurt them. ### ⭐⭐⭐ That would be fine if the yoga was clear and easy to learn *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014* The part about anatomy and explaining piriformis syndrome was well done. The yoga part was not suitable for beginners without previous yoga experience. The yoga explanations and pictures were taken from some of his earlier books. That would be fine if the yoga was clear and easy to learn. But I thought some of the yoga poses were too hard to do correctly just by reading this book. Go to a real live teacher for some basic training first (preferably a teacher trained in the Iyengar tradition) and then continue with a home practice. I am a yoga teacher and I know my beginning students could not do these poses just by readiing this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014* Good advice__gives yoga ideas and medical steps also to take --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/116404496-piriformis-syndrome-diagnosis-treatment-and-yoga-pain-in-the-butt](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/116404496-piriformis-syndrome-diagnosis-treatment-and-yoga-pain-in-the-butt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
