Default Piriformis Syndrome

I believe I have piriformis syndrome as my symptoms are almost identical to those listed on the following site - http://www.easyvigour.net.nz/fitness...piriformis.htm.

My right glute does not fire properly and I have pain in the indicated areas on the website (upper part of glute, SI joint,right groin area and tight hip flexors). My symptoms also include extremely tight abductors, quads and ITB.

While I feel i have the correct diagnosis, I need your help with a recovery plan. I've read that i should avoid hip flexor stretches as they will only increase the irritation and i assume glute bridges would be an integral part of a recovery plan.

Any help in designing a recovery plan would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Tones
