I stumbled onto a stretch for the External Hip Rotators that includes the obdurator internus & externus. It's an Active-Isolated Stretching (Mattes Method) stretch. It includes 6 of the external hip rotators. I tried it last night and I could barely move my legs. Almost no stretch to speak of. Gonna add it to my set of stretches. The obdurator internus is one of the pelvic floor muscles that you can work via manual PT with a gloved finger, but this is a nice stretch to add to the mix.
