If a person is inclined to do so.
You can get a heat gun and close off both ends of the PVC.
Take the heat gun and slowly heat up the entire length of the pipe until it is flexible.
Be careful not to blister the pipe and dont get in a hurry.

Then bend the pipe to the desired radius and let cool.
In this way there is no stress on the pipe and less stress on you when putting the pipe in place.

The reason for closing off the ends is to keep the pipe from collapsing.
