Re: 2 stretches for the piriformis muscle that I've found useful

Just a variation on your piriformis stretch
I find more effective.
Position: supine, perpendicular to a wall
Method: raise the non-stetching leg straight up
against the wall. Bend the stetching leg and
place the ankle across the raised leg as in a
standard piriformis stretch. Place a hand lightly
on the knee of the bent leg and slowly 'walk'
your foot down the wall, feeling the stretch. I
find this stretch provides more control and less
strain than other variations I have tried.
Thanks, J.
