How to Do

How to Do Piriformis Release Foam Roller, SMR

While bending the right knee, cross the right ankle over the left knee. Roll down on the foam roller, positioning it beneath a tender spot of the rear and outer hip. Take the left hand and pull the right knee towards the left shoulder to increase the stretch. Stay in this position until the pain lessens significantly. Move around on the roller until another tender spot is found. Repeat as needed. Switch legs and repeat while rolling on the right hip.

This flexibility exercise is good for those who have tightness and restricted movement in the hips, especially when rotating the legs outward.

Keep the abdomen drawn. Do not force the movement.
