Piriformis syndrome is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve as it passes through the buttock.



Have you had a lower back injury in the past? It could be sciatic nerve due to a herniated disk in L4, L5, S1, S2, S3 region. Do you feel it on one or both legs?

Please see attached image,



I feel muscles tight in highlight area, where constantly require stretching to release muscle, I don't feel pain on nerve at this moment.

It seems that stretching is not a right solution, which should strength surrounding muscle to reduce stress on highlight area instead.

so I would like to know on what kind of exercise can strength related muscle under this situation.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

That confirms that you have sciatica. That conclusion comes from the fact that is happens on one buttocks, and not the other. There are a number of stretches that you can perform, but it will not cure your condition if the underlying causes isn't corrected, for example, common causes of sciatica can include a ruptured disk, narrowing of the spine canal (called spinal stenosis), or injury.

Have you tried any of these stretches?
