After two years of following my physical therapists' stretching routine, I just did one session of this video and I could feel my hamstrings responding (and burning) in ways I never did before. At the end of the stretches, I could reach my toes and hold them far easier than anytime in the previous two years. The real goal here is to reduce or eliminate my lower back pain. I'm hoping to find more of your videos that will address this. Thanks already for helping out, especially for not withholding all information until I pay for a program.

UPDATED VERSION of this video available now at this link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLmUgNCpxNmwfpc.html ! Which stretch was the most-effective for you? Which one did you like the most? Which one do you need to work on the most? Leave me a COMMENT below and let me know! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Video starts at 3:25

Just did your 30 min HIIT workout, love it. But realised my hamstrings were tight. I wasn't surprised that this video was readily available. Great options for stretching the hamstrings and targeting the entire back of the leg using various options. First time that I've knowingly bent my knee to target a different portion of the hamstring. Greatly appreciated. Keep up the great videos.

Hi! I think you have saved me. Been in pain 10 years upper left back...and lumbar spine....found and started on your exercises. No pain!!!! First day since August 12. Do them every day now...thankyou so much....Jilly

It would be great to have the stretching routine with you doing the correct times for each stretch like the 8 min video for inflexible people. I use that video everyday. I love doing the stretches with you and the timer. Thank you for posting these!

my hamstrings have been bothering me since last sunday (about a week now). also have been feeling tightness in my hips especially my right hip and the back of my outer right knee and knew it was from my hamstrings. it’s 1 am bc the discomfort makes it hard to even relax in bed. did these stretches with one of my homerun balls (softball) and a belt right on the edge of my bed and i can already tell im gonna never stop doing these stretches. they feel so affective! never reaching down to touch my toes ever again!😂 so grateful for this video!

As one who suffer from muscle tension headaches I can tell you these stretches are a fantastic relief. I know every time my head aches it’s because of a tight hamstring. These stretches allow me to resolve the pain without medication. Thanks so much Dr. Beckstrand!

Thank you very much, Dr. Jared. I have followed this video and your "Five Best Core Exercises" video for several weeks. I have noticed great results. I am shocked at how generous you are with your time, knowledge, and skills. All the best, Jamie Pfeffer, Westfield, NJ

This has been the most informational hamstring stretch vid i’ve ever seen. Thank you for making this.

I was really needing this for my tae kwon do class, mainly because it’s is all about kicks and I can’t kicks very high with my tight hams

Best hamstring stretching video on KZfaq! Glad I stumbled upon it.

Clear explanation, action-filled and straight to the point! Great exercises,quite different from those who just talk for six minutes out of 8 or 10 minutes beating about the bush! 😀

I actually find that a rolling pin can give a similar treatment as the foam roller, though it's a bit hard on the arms. It's hard to explain how to do it, though, but if you have a spare rolling pin or an old one you plan to replace, I'm sure you can figure something out.

Thank you. This is my favorite channel. Your explanations and demonstrations are super great. Very seldom to find a genuine and caring Chiro like you. I also like the fact that you give hints to those who have injuries or health problems. KEEP UP WITH YOUR GREAT WORK! I can tell you are a devoted Chiro who performs his work with passion.

The tips to bend our knees to get a stretch higher up + the one to fatigue the muscle in order to get a deeper stretch were brilliant. Thanks a lot!

My hamstrings are so tight I can’t even touch my toes and I’m suffering lower back pain. Fingers crossed if I follow your advice my hamstrings will feel better in know time. Cheers for video

Love the value you're bringing to this channel. Is it necessary to warm up the muscles first before we do these stretching exercises? If so, what are some ways to do it?

I have very tight hamstrings for a young person(I'm currently 16) and my doctor wants me to be in different yoga classes to help loosen them up a bit. however with covid and everything I have to basically do my own physical therapy, and with your videos it definitely helps me out a bunch!

Thank you sir, from a viewer i Coronavirus time in Germany where my therapy clinic is shut. My tight hamstrings are destroying my lower back for 12 years now. Your stretching strap exercises (i used a towel) have really felt more effective than anything i have tried til now. Gonna try to discipline myself to follow your video here every day, desperately hoping to rehab my back at home. Be well and stay safe:)

Thank You for this! I have Cerebral Palsy and this can help. It may be just a little bit of help but even a little bit of help is better than no help at all. With all of the physical therapy I have done through my 56 years, you would think someone would have shown this to me. Not once have I ever seen these stretches before.

The contract relaxed technique is impressive. I'm out of this field but hungry for physical therapy. Thanks for sharing. That's truly helpful !!!

Thanks, hamstrings are tight as I play soccer and do a lot of running, so thanks KZfaq for recommending this 🤞🏼

I did the stretch shown at 9:45 during my physiotherapy. At the beginning I could only go like 30º ... after 10 sessions I could go 90º Thank you to show that up and all the others! It is indeed very good.

oh super...I twisted both of my ankles. I am 67. I stopped working out for almost 3 months. I gained weight. And, I got very very tight. My ankles now at 90%. I will uses these stretches, slow and easy, build back up to 2 hours, running/walking.

Wow, even doing a few minutes of the first hip flexi on stretch massively improved how far I could bend my knee in the air.

My hamstrings are tight every single day, if I dont take 30 minutes to loosen them up I'm having a very bad day, thanks for the video

Can you do a similar video on calf muscles too please. As well as the rest of the body. Really liked your video. Very informative. I just subscribed, been looking for a channel with tips on releasing tight muscle and now I have. Thank you for your work.

This was so helpful for me. Thank you so much!

Thanks, this works great for me, I suspected that my hamstrings are tight, but now I don't have doubts about it.

Dude this was awesome. I have shoulder injuries that prevent me from supporting myself when I'm rolling and have been looking for a way to roll my hamstrings that isn't a workout in itself and doesn't cause more harm than good. Thank you. Please whenever possible add a little alternative to help people with entry or disabilities. This is great thank you so much

Oh my god, it hurts so...good? Thanks for the tips!

Thanks so much, my hamstrings have been so tight lately, I gained some new knowledge 🎉

I've been having a hard time stretching out my hamstrings. I'm going to try these stretches out. BTW, I have a green stretch out band, a foam roller , and a soft ball already. Ready to get to loosen up.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy I found this video. My hamstrings have been horribly tight and painful. These stretches brought instant relief (after the initial pain of course). Subscribed!

Softball trick was a lifesaver. Thanks a ton

Contract relax is what I neededI. I stand 12/16 hours a day in the hospital.. and my legs need care.. thank you so much, I will be using your other techniques as well..

This is great stuff. My hamstrings are so tight i can't even describe. I'm planning to do this for 30 days and see how this gonna help me. Thank you

I have severe muscular lower back pain for years. I just found out the main reason are my short hamstrings. Hamstring streching seems to be very important, if you have muscular lower back pain.

Your videos have contributed to my passion for physical therapy and overall health. Thank you! Your work is appreciated

Good information and well explained. I can’t see why anyone would thumb down a quick and informative KZfaq. Thank you for making this.

Thanks so much. You told me exactly what I needed to know. I bought the roll bar and the strap. Now I am ready to fix this constant pain that I have had for years.

Thank you for this video. I look forward to adding the Stretch out strap to my routine.

If you’re feeling the pull behind your knee you’re probably feeling nerve tension, not a muscle stretch, especially if your dorsiflexing your ankle. The tendons don’t stretch, the muscles do, and they don’t extend behind your knee.

I did some exercises stepping up and down a pair of stairs and my hamstring hurt a lot. Really like your exercises. I hope these helps exercises help me. Started lunges too and can’t do them on my right leg due to that hamstring!!😕

One thing that really helps me to stretch the entire backside of my legs is to place some dumbbells about a foot and a half away from a wall, put the balls of my feet on the grip area of the dumbbells, and drop my heels as I lean forward (with a straight back) towards the wall. It feels amazing and is so simple! 😊

Yeah man that foam roller technique is gold.

Hi Jared, I want to thank you for you time and effort in helping others... In my recovery from an injury from getting out of a chair to walking around the back of chair to exit a cubicle. Me doctor and I have gotten to a point in my recovery in focusing on my left leg and hip. We believe that glutes need strengthening, hamstrings and Periformis are tight. So, instruction are to work those areas with a walking regimen. When needed apply heat and take IBU. Your Hamstring Stretch... Laying on my back foot in strap raising leg towards me, then performing stretch, when knee slightly bent I notice knee extends outwardly and foot goes toward my right leg... Right leg does not do this, leg is straight when pulling back towards me. Is this a hip internal rotation problem???? Or is this because the muscles are tight??? Waiting to hear back from you. Thanks 🤓

I have always had tight ham strings and will start doing these exercises. I am in very good shape and workout M-Fri. I usually sit with my legs spread out and increase stretching by leaning forward.

Thank you, I didnt think about using a bench for foam rolling before-so this has been a really helpful tip. I dont have a bench-but I now use my piano stool-excellent results-just have to be careful I dont fall off!! Thanks again

I'm a 66 year male and I usually ride my Giant hybrid bike 6 to 15 miles 2 times a week. What stretches would you recommend to do before and after a ride. My hamstrings are usually pretty tight. Really glad your video popped up

I thought I knew all about hamstring stretches, but you showed quite a few techniques I hadn't seen before. Nice!

Great information & easy to follow illustrations 👍🏽

My hamstrings are tight due to anterior tilt in the pelvis. I’d love to se a video on stretches and exercises to correct that issue. This video was great though. I like that strap you use.

Thank you! Severe hamstring pain and these stretchers are helping

Very helpful video. I need to buy a foam roller today and start using it to get stretched out. Thanks for information.

Excellent stretch methods - perfect thanks !

Wow thanks. Before this vid I could barley touch my toes standing with straight legs and now after this vid I can touch my whole palm on the ground with straight legs.

Hoping these help! I have awful APT and have been working to try and fix/relieve it. I'm training for a 10k (used to be a runner years ago) and have never experienced this! My pregnancy sure took a toll on my body!

Seeing all the exercises, explanations seems very interesting & better exercises, my health therapist said that I have very tight hamstrings, besides that having ms (multiple sclerosis) in the way so I don't walk well,I use walker or wheelchair, after reading all these positives comments is worth the try. Glad I found this, will let you know if my brain will let my body function. 😁 thanks for helping us all. God bless you.

Love your videos. I share them all with my friends and family. The video about choosing a pillow was especially helpful and now a days I wake up without worrying about a stiff neck and back

Hopefully this will help a lot and speed up ma recovery for ma knee and hamstring tendon injuries❗️🙏🏽

I am about as flexible as a 2x4. I will try this to see if it helps. Thanks for the video.

Excellent demontration which us with knee problemd. Thsnks a lot

I have this problem after cycling for 1 hr. the day after. Get stiff and tight to do squad or deadlift for beginner for days after cycling. Assumed that lack of enough stretching after cycling. Clear explanations for me. Thanks infinity.

Thanks for the video. I will give these techniques a try today.

Sports massages also help!!

This has been best video I have ever watched for hamstring!just wondering how long we continuing this.thank you.

That was so helpful, I’m going to do those stretches!!, I’ll get back to you on how well it helped..THANKS A BUNCH!😀

Excellent! Thank you so much. Your exercise suggestions are helpful, don't take too much time and are certainly useful.

I really needed this video!!! I had my first dance team practice today for school and i couldn't kick high nor stretch well!!!😭😭😭😭 it was so embarrassed!!!!!

I feel so much better 👌💕 thanks for these life lesson teachings

Nice and clear tip easy and effective for me to practise. Thank you veey much for sharing. From Bangkok.

Thanks for the suggestion for the second stretch. I've been doing a similar stretch but yours is a lot easier and practical. Basically I lay flat on the ground and I raise one leg up onto a door frame while the other remains flat on the ground.

Hey I do have a short question. I am in the lengthening process of a cosmetic leg lengthening surgery. My therapist said I have to hold every stretchposition for 60sec+ so that the muscle builds new cells and gets longer. What do you mean?

This will help me a lot. Thanks.

Excellent video. Many thanks.

your a legend thank you for your exercices they helped meout a lot keep it up

I have this condition. Have to be in tripod position when sitting down with legs Extended. Thank you so much for explaining the mechanisms and teaching the stretch

Your my new favourite KZfaqr 🙏

While playing cricket after a long time (Please note I am not a professional cricketer), I suffered a jerk in the upper left arm while batting. Now its been two months there is constant pain whenever the left arm is in use for active actions like lifting bags, Yoga etc. kindly recommend some exercise. Thanks

Thanks for some great tips to add to my foam rolling routine!! 😊👍

Thanks for the great video! I was diagnosed with arthritis in my hip that can be pretty painful. Any videos on stretches that would be appropriate? Thanks

My hamstrings are like the strings on a cello. This video will help.

I find ur content usefull, i would just say you gotta do better on the sound state, its not that great. Plus i dont know if you edit but try to put a summury of things to have in mind. Plus tricks you do to achieve the form of ececution you want. Great work and share overall!

Excellent information. Thank you for putting this out there.

Thank you! I'm going to try the muscle fatigue stretch method tomorrow!

Thanks. The best tight hamstring help out there. I just subscribed.

How much time will you need to actually be more flexible? I’m guessing these exercises should be performed on a daily basis, but when will one see any kind of results? Great video by the way, it was really helpful!

Great stuff, thanks

Excellent. Thank you!

Very informative video 👍
