How You Can Relieve Tight Hamstrings Through Strengthening

Movement Observation: Tight hamstrings are often a result of weakness, not strength.

Lemme explain—better yet—lemme give you an example…

When you get done with a long run or walk, your hamstrings feel incredibly tight. You might think it's because they're strong, but oftentimes this tightness is due to weakness in the hamstrings, which are compensating to keep your pelvis stable and your body upright.

Now, I’ve been working with many clients who experience low back pain and pelvic floor issues, and I noticed a common pattern that weak hamstrings lead to tightness and imbalance. So, today, I’m sharing these observations with you!

In this episode, you’ll learn how you can relieve tight hamstrings through strengthening, improve your pelvic stability, and how to incorporate hamstring activation into your daily workouts.
