Welcome to Premier Performance and PT, where we specialize in providing effective solutions for piriformis syndrome. Our dedicated team of physical therapists is committed to helping you overcome the challenges posed by this condition and regain your quality of life.
Understanding Piriformis Syndrome
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, becomes tight or spasms, causing irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. This can result in pain, tingling, or numbness in the buttocks and down the leg. Piriformis syndrome is often mistaken for other conditions, such as sciatica, making an accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
Symptoms can include:
Persistent pain in the buttocks that may radiate down the back of the leg (sciatica)
Tingling or numbness in the buttocks or leg
Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or activities that involve hip rotation
Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
Reduced range of motion in the hip

“I was referred to Premier by my daughter’s athletic trainer. Premier is not your cookie cutter pt clinic. The one-on-one therapy I’ve received from Fahim was unsurpassed and targeted allowing me to make great strives towards recovery.” -Lauren
“Dr. Greg and Dr. Kat are terrific. Great listeners. Very patient and guide you at your own speed. Dr. Kat focused on exercises to help with my hip injury as well as specific exercises to help with my golf swing, rotation and balance. Yesterday I was back on my bike and today I will be dining, with the family, at Topgolf. Thanks so much for everything. If you are looking for folks that are athletes, understand athletic injury, and can teach you how to take care of yourself, Premier is the place.” -Mark
