Figure 4 (Piriformis) Stretch for Sciatica Pain

Показать описание
Try the Figure 4 Stretch to get a good stretch on your hips, glutes & piriformis. This is great for anyone with sciatica or a lumbar herniated disc because it works the muscles in the back & the surrounding areas that are susceptible to pain.
Nikki Bechtol, licensed chiropractor, demonstrates how to perform this pirifromis stretch to work your hamstring & glutes. Follow these steps to perform this stretch on your own:
Step 1:
Lay flat on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
Step 2:
Bring the outside ankle of one foot to the opposite knee.
***For some, this position might be enough of a stretch. When you're ready, you can deepen the stretch by following the rest of the steps.***
Step 3:
Lift your legs and place your hand behind your hamstring on the side you aren't stretching.
Step 4:
Pull your knee toward your chest to feel the stretch into your hamstring & glutes. Hold this stretch for 15 - 30 seconds and repeat on the other side. This stretch can be performed twice a day to your tolerance.
