A piriformis stretch is a knee rehabilitation exercise (stretch) to loosen the piriformis muscle and tendon.
Once the leg is positioned, the patient gradually bends forward and holds the position for a few seconds before relaxing again. This is repeated.
Symptoms of a tight piriformis
Tight gluteus muscles and piriformis muscles can lead to lower back pain and tight hamstrings, which can affect balance and even cause sciatica.
