Stretching the piriformis muscle can help relieve sciatica because when this deep hip muscle gets tight it can press on the sciatic nerve and create pain that travels down the leg and loosening it takes pressure off that nerve improves blood flow and reduces irritation so the nerve can glide more freely which often leads to less pain less tingling and better mobility through the hip and lower back.
