nerve that runs underneath this muscle. I had horrible sciatica pain for months from a strained piriformis muscle. In one week the pain was almost gone. I did two sets of these a day. I would do ten reps of straight up and down. Then do ten more counting to ten at the top before lowering. If you are doing them correctly you will feel it. When a muscle is strained, it is already stretched. Stretching feels good for a while, but really does not help. You need to gently exercise the muscle which causes it to contract, and heal itself. Good luck.
