Previous studies have indicated that the muscle energy technique (MET) and the positional release technique (PRT) are effective in the management of piriformis syndrome (PS); however, evidence is scarce regarding the combination of these techniques in the form of an integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) in the management of individuals with PS. The authors conducted a single blind, randomized clinical trial of 48 patients to examine the effects of INIT with integrated RRAF compared with PRT in the management of patients diagnosed with PS.
