4 Best Ways to Release Tight Hamstrings | Stretches & Myofascial Release 

Great content! I like the simple explanations and the additional tips/info you add. You're a wonderful instructor.

I love the options; myofacial release, pressure points, etc. And the use of the props is great help also.

This is saving my knee and back! Thank you!

These help so much! I have been having super tight hamstring and inner thigh from driving.

Hi, thank you very much this was one of the better videos I've seen for Hamstring tightness. Should you be doing it before you go and play sports or after only? I guess I am asking if doing it before sports will make it feel too tender to play sports? Or it doesnt matter ultimately?

Thank you !

its very useful and very simple to understand

Like your video. Straight forward and no nonsense like others. Most importantly, what you taught here works (not like others). Well done.

thank you. jefferson curls scare me!!! LOL. Any time I do a bent back/straight leg hamstring stretch I get a pinching feeling in my low back a little later. It feels OK whilst doing it but it flares up later.

Awesome video, I loved it! So straightforward, calm and easy to follow.

Great help

Excellent videos! Can you do one on how to warm up the quads? Cheers

Thank you for this video. I have very tight hamstrings and back pain. Do you recommend static stretches as well?

This is perfect for soccer

Thank u ! I didn’t know how to use the message balls well for hamstrings

hopefully it helps, my hamstrings tighten up every time I work them out. painful

love your video man ..keep up with these good vidoes man god bless u

Thanks

thank you so much for this... very informative... i think its the best i found on youtube :)

Good stuff. I go for a weekly massage and that helps. As well as acupuncture for 8 years. I saw a MD specialist and I am on a muscle relaxant and if no results, then BOTOX. Tight hamstrings is a medical condition for me. My gait is bad because of it. Got worse after my heart attack in 2019 which was hereditary. Had emergency surgery and NO heart damage. I am 155 lbs and healthy for 58 and exercise daily and eat well and keep hydrated.

I have tight hamstrings since I was born, been accused by people bcoz my legs never go straight. Hope this works

cool vids bro

Thank you so much

I want so bad to make these foam rollers work for me. I've been trying. I find it difficult to balance and hold my weight up and it gets sloppy. I have tight hamstrings and also thigh and glute/hip pain to which my last PT pointed out I have lumpy painful fascia tissue due to adhesions that spread from my tailbone from several surgeries with a pretty long, painful scar causing hip/leg fascia/muscle pain. The last surgery being two 1/2 years ago. They were cupping and using Graston technique which didn't help. Suggestions? Thanks ahead.

very nice video. have you seen the P-knot tool? it's a easier use than rolling on the ball. it's on RU-vid under that name. And it's great!

Great info thanks!

Would hamstring trigger points cause foot numbness

I had acl surgery and they use my hamstring graft now my knee i think its ok i hvent been training on it but recently i just decided i want to play football again but my hamstring feels like its gonna tear if i quickly pull my foot to the back while standing (like kicking motion) does it mean its tight? Cos i feel like its connected to the nerve or something when i try to use the ball method on it.. hope u reply this

great stuff thanks :-)

I am really insecure about my hamstring. I just started working out this year and I am trying to find something to help me reduce the size. I am learning a lot about them.

What kind of ball are you using or what is the best bar for a good stretch

Thank you for your video man! Could you try to speak more slowly and take some pauses from time to time? I'm not a native English speaker and sometimes I have to replay many times because you speak fast 😊 thank you for all your efforts though!

Can i do this daily?

this also helps plantar fasciitis!

Great stuff I had a stroke and my hams on the left leg is really tight and makes my leg shake when I walk any distance.

I'm trying to learn the splits but I have really tight hamstrings I've tried hip flexors but they dont really work.

Does the band one last or do you have to keep doing it??

I did crouch running in lazer tag and now my knees are killing me.

Can you please share a link to buy these balls

What about if it gets caused by crouch running

I always feel I need to grab onto a bar low than my standing feet. I feel like bending over doesn't give me full extension and stretch.

For the last 8 weeks or so I have had a very tight right hamstring… I train in aerial and am trying to get into splits, along with lifting heavier for leg strength… I tried to do a 6 week split challenge stretching everyday and I think I overstretched… the part of my hamstring right behind my right leg ( which used to be theist flexible) is now like glue and super painful… I’ve regressed about 3-4 inches backwards… any tips?

Last one is great if you want to injure your hamstrings

Hi, I have pain in my tail bone so I went to see a chiropractor and it made my pain worse. They said I have knots in my buttock muscles and thighs. Can you suggest me some of your videos to release these muscle knots

Hmmm...that feeling of tender hamstrings rolling over a hard ball a masochists dream 🤣

Where are you from. I detect an Australian accent ??

I hurt my hamstrings by raising my bed up ontoo milk crates,cause the bars were not good.the bars that hold the box for the bed.now i cant sit in a chair too play a game or watch tv.im 63 yrs old.

Why the music??????? Wtf

LOL this stretch is very dangerous and a lot can go wrong... anyway thats the end of this video... wait wtf... maybe some clarification?! I will throw in my advice if tight hamstrings are contributing to back pain and low back is tight as a drum keep low back straight and focus on proper hip hinge with some light weight ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HhEqFa9lT80.html

Thank you so much
