Piriformis Stretch


This stretch can really help someone with sciatica symptoms if this muscle is pinching the nerve.  Lay on your back and bring ankle over the opposite thigh.  Put your hands between your legs and pull the leg that is holding your ankle towards your chest.  This will pull the bum muscle of the leg that is crossed over <insert picture>.  To increase this stretch, push your elbow into the crossed over leg.  <insert picture?>
