Can't Touch Your Toes? Stop Stretching Your Hamstrings! - Watch First
The hamstrings are a commonly overlooked muscle when it comes to their influence on pelvic movement. The most common recommendation is to stretch them because it can at times reduce muscle tension in the lower back and provide relief.
BUT, is stretching the hamstrings ideal? This muscle is often weak in a non-athletic population, so is stretching a weak muscle a great idea? I'll explore this topic in this comprehensive video on hamstrings and why you can't touch your toes.

Very welcome. Thank you for watching!

Amazing information, a lot of it I already knew because I've been digging into PRI concepts for some time now, but your presentation is extremely easy to follow and helps enhance understanding.

Thank you much appreciated!

Great information that I have never heard about before. By the way, I watched your instruction about how to treat tight psoas muscles and am so shocked when I tried these techniques out. After 5 years of agony and trying everything under the sun to try and get out of pain, it appears to be slowly working. Thank you so much!

Thats awesome! Very happy to hear its helping!

@kostasgoulas3625 Год назад

best video ever!!! a quik question....Do hip flexors need some flexibility drills as well in order to help touch the toes ?

@SamVisnic Год назад

Thank you. It is possible for different reasons mentioned in the video why stretching the hip flexors 'could' improve ability to touch the toes. One such way is reducing some anterior tipping of the pelvis. All depends on the individual case.

This was awesome! I've been working with a PT because I have crazy anterior pelvic tilt and started to get SI joint pain. My lower and upper back muscles frequently spasm. And I can barely sit at 90 degrees with my legs straight out in front of me. I was surprised when she had me doing subtle pelvic tilts on my back, heels up on a high surface, while isolating my hamstrings to drive the movement. FIRE! Afterwards I can get father a little closer to touching my toes. But this video...I'm like an inch away from my toes almost instantly! SOOO COOL!!! The last little bit my calves engage and feel crazy tight. Anything for that?

@SamVisnic 6 месяцев назад

General calf stretching is usually all that is needed in my experience as well as shifting weight back toward heels. If someone has difficulty with doing so I have them just lift toes up a bit which tends to trigger that to occur.

Dear Sam, thank you for such informative videos. I have another forward fold question: why can't I told in butterfly position (sitted, knees apart, soles touching) if I can easily touch the tired in standing/sitted forward bend. If here you said posterior hip capsule inwards mobility might be an issue, in that case it could be anterior/outwards? Thank you!

@SamVisnic 5 месяцев назад

As you flex the hip + externally rotate it (sitting butterfly) the easiest restriction to identify is the external hip rotators. So a classic "pigeon" stretch or what I teach the 90-90 hip stretch, would be my first go-to to with a client in that type of restriction to see if it improves the range. The standing toe touch does not require as much flexibility in these muscles as the butterfly forward fold does.

I have muscle imbalance in my legs and hips. I know I need to strengthen them because they’re weak. However they are also tight and as a result I’ll end up cramping in my hamstrings when I do hamstring exercises with something as light as the green rubber band. Should I still be working on strengthening these muscles when they are weak and tight, or should I be working on restoring them to their more normal state by stretching/stripping/massage therapy first?

@SamVisnic 11 месяцев назад

I can't give specific recommendations, but generally when my personal clients have cramping issues, I just find movements that work the hamstrings without the issue, then come back to those movements later to check for improvement. Personally I don't wait to train any muscle because I can always find a low intensity enough movement to work it without causing any issues.
