Simple and effective techniques for relieving pain in the buttocks, legs and back
Do you suffer from back pain that radiates down into your legs? If so, you’re not alone: almost one in three people in Germany are affected. Traditionally, doctors automatically assume it’s a slipped disc. But the discs aren’t always the cause. In many cases, the problem is inflammation of the piriformis muscle, which presses on the sciatic nerve and thereby triggers the symptoms. The advantage is that once piriformis syndrome has been diagnosed, it can be treated in a much more targeted and successful manner than a slipped disc.
Even simple stretching exercises can have an astonishing effect. Sports editor Nicolai Napolski, who knows from personal experience just how painful piriformis syndrome is, has teamed up with sports therapist and personal trainer Katharina Brinkmann to write the first guidebook that specifically addresses this condition. The authors have not only compiled the most important information on the background and causes of the condition, but have also developed an exercise programme specifically tailored to piriformis syndrome, which introduces simple and effective techniques to help you stretch the shortened muscle, strengthen the pelvic girdle and correct postural problems.
In an expert interview with osteopath and back specialist Dr Torsten Pfitzer, you will also learn how to prevent the condition so that the pain does not arise in the first place.
Learn how to treat piriformis syndrome yourself, so that your pain will soon be a thing of the past.

Nicolai Napolski is editor-in-chief of www.trainingsworld.com, Germany’s leading sports expert portal. As a keen snowboarder, mountain biker and climber, he is no stranger to injuries. After a weeks-long odyssey of doctor’s appointments, he was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome by a physiotherapist, and having realised that there is still relatively little information available on the subject, he co-authored this book with Katharina Brinkmann.
