Do you have buttock pain?
Are you wondering if you have piriformis syndrome, deep gluteal syndrome or hip related sciatica?
Developed by Dr Alison Grimaldi, a leading expert in Hip and Buttock pain, this rehabilitation program will give you a detailed understanding of Piriformis Syndrome and other causes of painful sciatica related to the hip rather than the lower back (Hip-Related Sciatica) – together these conditions are now generally referred to as Deep Gluteal Syndrome.
