Overview
The seated piriformis stretch is an exercise that targets the gluteus muscles. It is a simple stretch that can be done at home or at the gym. To perform the seated piriformis stretch, sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Bend your right knee and bring your right foot to your left inner thigh. Reach your left arm over your right leg and grab your right ankle. Gently pull your right knee towards your chest until you feel a stretch in your left gluteus muscle. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, then repeat on the other side.
