Stretching isn't the best for tight hamstrings...❌
Instead, strengthening the hamstrings can be effective in reducing both pain and tightness!
Stretching may actually increase irritation to the muscle. Specific strengthening exercises can make your hamstrings feel flexible and mobile again.
One of the main reasons muscles become tight is due to weakness. Your body then turns to tightening the muscle to achieve stability. This is why hamstring strengthening can be incredibly effective.
Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she takes you through 4 hamstring strengthening exercises to reduce tightness, pain and injury. Choose one of these or all of them to start focusing on. The key is making sure the exercises feel good.
