Piriformis Stretch Beginner

Flexibility and mobility are key to optimal body movement and swing mechanics. Creating and maintaining mobile joints and muscles allow for optimal muscle and joint movements, both in the gym, as well as on the course

Positioning:

Start on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Cross only ankle over the other knee, rotating the other knee away from the body, if you feel the stretch in the hip, or groin, hold there.

Once comfortable, lift both legs, and grab the bottom leg with both arms, and pull the hip towards you, increasing the stretch.

Notes: If the arms are unable to hold the leg, elevate the down leg on a wall or chair. The purpose of stretching is to create a stretch you can hold comfortably, do not force a stretch, or push to where the muscle trembles
