Piriformis Muscle Stretches

This stretch is good to use for the tightness in the back of the hip as well as numbness, tingling, or burning down the leg.
Start by lying on the floor.  You want to stretch the leg or side that's having symptoms.  Grab one leg behind the knee and pull it to your opposite shoulder.   You should feel a good stretch in your butt muscle.  Try increasing the stretch by bringing the leg across your body.  Hold this for 2-3 minutes.
