Piriformis syndrome is caused by the piriformis muscle compressing the sciatic nerve, leading to pain and discomfort in the buttocks and down one leg.

Physical activities that involve repetitive movements or sitting for prolonged periods can also contribute to the development of piriformis syndrome.
What is the antagonist to the obturator internus?
The antagonist to the obturator internus muscle is the gluteus maximus.

Additionally, the piriformis muscle can also be considered an antagonist, as it performs similar functions in hip rotation.
