Part 3/7:
By bringing one foot up onto the opposite knee and utilizing a band or towel for assistance, individuals can comfortably pull the knee towards their body. This static stretch is held for several seconds while focusing on breathing deeply to maximize relaxation, without surpassing the discomfort threshold.
Transitioning straight to the piriformis stretch, the trainers guide participants through a similar setup but this time encourage a gentle pull towards the opposite shoulder. This dynamic stretch is designed to alleviate tension around the sciatic nerve itself, targeting common causes of pain that stem from nerve entrapment.
