To perform the piriformis figure 4 stretch:

1. Lie on your back with your knees propped up. Cross the leg you want to stretch over the other with the ankle at the top of the knee in a figure 4. Grab underneath the thigh of the leg still on the ground.
2. Pull your leg up toward your chest until you feel a stretch in your buttocks area. Hold the stretch.
