The pain due to the piriformis muscle is felt in the butt, the pelvis and the hip. It can even cause sciatica! This pain is often so long lasting that you need external help to resolve it.
Here is an effective EMS program that I have developed with my patients, using the Beurer EM49. However, other patients have had good results with other TENS / EMS machines, such as Bluetens.
You should not feel pain, just the sensation that the muscle contracts and relaxes. Therefore, use a low signal intensity.

OMG. THE PAIN, ITS ALMOST 100% GONE AFTER ONLY ONE SESSION OF 30 MINUTES !!!!!

@KindnessInChaos

I’ll try anything! My left piriformis muscle has been bothering me for 3 weeks- radiating pain down my leg towards my outer left ankle. I wake up in pain everyday. Thank you for sharing this! ❤

I just tried this. I will do it every day and let u know how it works for me. I had piriformis with severe sciatica now for almost 3 months and just bought a TENS unit 1 week ago. Thanks for the video and settings. M

wow, this is amazing: one initial session per side (with just a cheap TENS on approximate but not analogous settings) and miraculously the ceaseless and deeply upsetting nerve pain across my derriere, upper thighs and lower back (which flares up upon prolonged contact with any surface whilst bearing body weight) has dropped by several levels, and even now on the following day takes significantly longer periods of sitting (tens of minutes vs 1-2 mins prior) to trigger to a high intensity. the onset of this piriformis syndrome, combined with the various other longer-term comorbidities, altogether had reduced quality of life to increasingly sub-zero levels, but this video has literally restored tangible reasons to keep on keeping on, so

Hi there. Useful video. When using the EMS for 30 minutes, should I lay down on front or back, sit or stand? Thanks. On intensity, I’m using level 18 which I can feel the contractions but only slightly. What levels do others use?

Just tried this, let me also stress the importance of starting slowly. I just kicked my own butt 😢 but I’m not a quitter. Trying again tomorrow.

Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏

@aw1755

What position to lie in while using TENS?

@cozmoluna4294

How many 30 minute sessions do you suggest per day?

@carla2008nov Год назад

Hi Olivier, I have the machine Avon that have ' tens '. I use 4 levels only.. but I am not sure that this machine can stop automatically. for the second round .. and the mesure you give do not appear in the tens machine.. can you pls help with an other alternative like : turn on 3 second and off 3 seconds per example or use 4 lines or 3 lines ..this is what appears in the tens machine not frequencies ..thanks for clarifying this

Thank you 🙏 Piriformis Syndrome, using Belifu SM9126 at Mode 1 variant 2, for 30 min. Near identical to your prescribed settings. Very grateful for your coaching 👍

@jeanyves8990 2 года назад

Hello Olivier,

@mc6083

How many times a week do you do this?

@cozmoluna4294

Do you have a recommendation impulse intensity level. (Left and right) for the EM 49?

@Bass.Player 2 года назад

Thanks for the settings. I have been using tens but with different settings and things are better while using tens but overall the condition has not improved. Hopefully the new settings will make a difference?

@lisebleau5199 Год назад

Could you clarify the polarity of electrode placement? On your video you show top red, bottom green. My électrodes on my new Beurer are red and grey. Which ones go where?

@sallyhaynes1919 2 года назад

Hi I would like to try this. I can set my TENS/EMS machine to 2Hz and 250micro secs. What should I set the intensity to? AlsoI can't make it on for 4s and off for 2 , it is more like on for 6 and off for 6s. Will this be ok do you think. Thanks so much for the video.

Good afternoon, I’m hoping this could be the video I’ve been looking for, I’m a runner and my pirifomis has been playing up for several months now, and now I’ve seen your video, I went and bought the EM59 because it had the heat option, but I can’t seem to find where I add the 4 secs on and the 2 secs off, I’ve managed to change the frequency and intensity, any more help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
