Cross one leg over the other and gently let your knees fall to one side, keeping your shoulders flat on the ground.
Hold for 20 seconds.
Switch sides and repeat.
4. Piriformis stretch
The piriformis muscle, located deep in the glutes, can tighten and irritate the sciatic nerve, leading to radiating pain. This stretch releases that tension.
How to do it:
Lie on your back with both knees bent.
Cross one ankle over the opposite knee.
Gently pull the uncrossed leg toward your chest.
Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
