This is a very commonly used exercise. It flosses the sciatic nerve within the body. Where the nerve has been tethered or compressed, this exercise is designed to mobilise and work it free.
This stretch focuses on stretching the piriformis muscle. However, if the pelvis is misaligned after a short period of time the piriformis simply tightens back up.
Wherever the pelvis points the spine follows. This causes increased compression down one side of the spine, pushing facet joints together.
Over a long period of time this can cause the joints to eventually wear down
Aligning the pelvis puts the spine more central reducing compression to the side.
Stopping aggravation of the facet joints and soothing pain helping reduce future wear and tear.
A misaligned pelvis can cause the piriformis muscle in the hip to tighten, the sciatic nerve runs right next to this muscle. Compression and aggravation of the nerve causes sciatica.
Aligning the pelvis relaxes the piriformis muscle. Reducing compression on the sciatic nerve. Easing the pain.
Wherever the pelvis points the spine follows. This causes increased compression down one side of the spine, pushing facet joints together. This can cause aggravation and pain.
Aligning the pelvis puts the spine more central reducing compression to the side. Stopping aggravation of the facet joints and soothing pain.

Pelvic misalignment can cause the sacroiliac joint to loosen when it should be stiff and on the opposite side stiffen when it should be loose. Either situation can cause aggravation to soft tissue around the joint leading to pain.
Aligning the pelvis means the joints start functioning properly. Loose when they are supposed to be loose and stiff when they a meant to be stiff. Stopping any aggravation
Wherever the pelvis points the spine follows.
This can cause lengthening of muscles. As a rule, if muscles lengthen for a prolonged period, they weaken.
Aligning the pelvis puts the spine in a more central position, returning the muscles to a stronger more efficient position.
Wherever the pelvis points the spine follows. Your iliolumbar ligament goes from your pelvis to your spine. Over a period of time this can strain as the ligament tears because of the prolonged excessive forces. This causes pain.
Aligning the pelvis puts the spine more central reducing tension in the ligament.
This ligament can easily cope with these forces. Pain is soothed.
