How is piriformis syndrome caused?
Piriformis syndrome is caused by the piriformis muscle compressing the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort in the buttocks and down one leg. This compression can be a result of muscle tightness, injury, overuse, or anatomical variations in the piriformis muscle. Physical activities that involve repetitive movements or sitting for prolonged periods can also contribute to the development of piriformis syndrome.
What is Antagonist to the psoas?

The movement primarily occurs at the knee joint.
