Seated Piriformis Stretch at Desk
Seated piriformis stretch at desk opens deep hip rotators in a chair-friendly figure-four—short holds during work, not aggressive forcing.
Seated piriformis stretch at desk crosses ankle over knee and hinges forward with a tall spine—targeting deep hip external rotators tightened by sitting without floor space. Keep foot flexed; avoid forcing the knee down if sharp sciatic symptoms appear—see a clinician for radiating leg pain.
Hold twenty to forty seconds per side during calls. Pair with short walks.
