Must-Try: Hamstring Stretch for Runners

by | Feb 12, 2021 | Injury Prevention, Stretching

If your hamstrings feel tight or you have trouble opening your stride, this stretch is a gamechanger.

Here’s why:
Tight hamstrings can cause a host of issues: slower running, back pain, and muscle strains, to name a few.

Only traditional stretching methods don’t work, and the days of reaching for your toes are over.

Instead, runners should adopt a more “runner-specific” form of stretching that better helps their running.

As a Physical Therapist, I use this stretch every week with my patients looking to run faster or struggle with injury.

Give it a try and see how it feels:
