Stretching the piriformis muscle can help reduce pain to the buttocks, the pelvic and the hip region. It can also help relieve compression of the sciatic nerve. But how should you stretch when you're in pain? Can you go all the way?
No, you need to take it easy. The stretching exercise shouldn't be perfect, because it will create more pain.
I will show you the different versions of the piriformis stretch exercise: lying down, sitting on the floor or sitting on a chair. We will look at the differences, and see why I don't recommend the stretching exercises done in a sitting posture: they can cause lower back pain and there might be side effects to the stretch.
