Fosse: Relieve Sciatic Nerve Pain Caused by a Tight Piriformis

This is a deep glute stretch and also a stretch for piriformis, a muscle deeper than the glutes. Many times the piriformis gets so tight it presses on the sciatic nerve and looks, feels and smells like sciatica, but it's not. Do this to relieve your sciatic nerve pain. If it works, it’s your piriformis muscle pressing on the nerve. And the good news is that it can be relieved with this exercise.
