Piriformis Stretching

Piriformis Stretching

These exercises help stretch the piriformis muscle, which runs from the pelvis and sacrum to the outside of the hip. Because the sciatic nerve runs near this area, tightness in the piriformis can sometimes contribute to sciatica-type symptoms, including numbness, tingling, or discomfort down the leg.
