Best way to do FIGURE 4 stretch 🔥#yogaforbeginners #backpain #piriformissyndrome #sciatica

One of the best stretches for piriformis helps sciatica and lower back pain is the Figure 4 stretch.
To perform this stretch, find a comfortable seated position with your legs extended in front of you. Cross your right leg over your left and place your right foot on the ground. Bring your left knee towards your chest, and hold that position for 20-30 seconds.
Then, slowly lower your left knee back to the ground, and repeat on the other side. You can also hold the stretch for as long as you can without strain or discomfort in your calf.
The main benefit of this stretch is that it helps to release tension in the piriformis muscle, which can cause pain in the lower back and legs. It also helps to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation in the area.
So, if you experience sciatic pain or lower back pain, try performing this stretch regularly. You can also make it more effective by adding weights to your legs or using a resistance band to add resistance.
