Dr. Robert Kent answered

Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

A stretch: Maneuver where your leg is put up at 90 degrees at the hip, bent at the knee as well, and then your leg is taken into external rotation and stretched. If it is tight and reproduces the symptoms, then it could be pririformis syndrome.
