The piriformis muscle is relatively unknown by most people unless they experience piriformis pain. This pear-shaped muscle found underneath the gluteus maximus can become tight from overuse, trauma or sitting for prolonged periods of time. Tight piriformis muscles can lead to painful piriformis syndrome that feels like sciatica. To avoid suffering from piriformis pain it's important to stretch and exercise this muscle regularly.
