Piriformis Muscle Stretch

Get started by lying on your back with your knees bent and both heels touching the floor. Next, you’ll need to cross one leg over the other and rest your ankle on your bent knee. The next step is to pull your bottom knee toward your chest gently. You should feel a good stretch in your buttock muscles.
