Piriformis stretch to help your squat
Everybody knows the classic piriformis stretches of Thread the Needle and Pigeon pose. More modern/ trendy versions involve elevating the front leg onto a box before leveling the hips into a pigeonesque pose. These moves do a good job of targeting piri and the gemellus muscles but they often fail to help with hip pain that results from volume squatting. If that sounds familiar, try this squat specific version out.
