Piriformis Stretch- Lie on your back. Bend your right knee so that your right foot is flat on the floor.
- Cross your left leg over your right so that your left ankle rests on your right knee.
- Use your hands to grab hold of your left knee and pull it gently toward the opposite shoulder. You should feel the stretch in your buttocks and hips.
- Hold for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Relax, and then repeat with the other leg.
- Repeat this cycle 2 to 4 times.
