How to perform Piriformis-SMR
- Sit on the foam roller with both knees bent and one hand on the floor for support.
- Cross one ankle over the opposite knee and keep the uncrossed foot planted.
- Shift toward the crossed-leg buttock while using the supporting hand and foot to control pressure.
- Move through a small, slow range over that buttock or pause at the chosen position without forcing extra pressure.
- Uncross the leg and repeat the setup on the other side.
