Place your right leg as far back as possible. Place your left knee up on the bench or bed. Bend forwards. To increase the stretch, when stretching the left piriformis, with the left leg on the bench, (as above), once you’ve leant forwards stretch both hands over to the left side (11 o’clock position). Conversely, to increase the stretch when stretching the right piriformis, with the right leg on the bench, stretch both hands over to the right side once you’ve leant forwards directing your hands towards the 1 o’clock position.
