Hamstring Stretches for Tight or Sore Hamstrings
Why I recommend it
From Ask Doctor Jo (PT, DPT): traditional stretches with guidance on positioning and technique.
Guidance
- Keep your back straight, not rounded.
- Bend the knee slightly if the stretch feels too strong.
- Stop if anything causes pain or feels wrong.
