148. Figure Four Piriformis Stretch

Leave a Comment

Back to Video Resources

Lay on your back with your knees bent. Place your right ankle on your left knee. Reach your right arm through the hole you’ve now created between your legs, and your left arm behind your left thigh to reach your right hand, then pull your left thigh toward your chest with both hands. You can also grab your shin in this position, whichever is most comfortable. You should feel a stretch along the right outer thigh and into the right gluteal area. If you can’t reach behind your thigh with your hands, you can use a strap/belt/long sleeved t shirt/etc. to help. You can also do this in sitting; rather than pulling your thigh toward you, bring your torso toward your thigh.
