The Importance of Hamstring Stretching

Hamstring stretching should be an essential part of a person’s daily routine, as it can help prevent injury, increase flexibility, improve posture, and assist in knee or back pain relief. Suffering from tight hamstrings is a common occurrence for many people, as many jobs require sitting for long periods of time.

The hamstrings have a significant influence on lower-back pain and knee pain. When hamstrings aren’t stretched properly, they can pull the pelvis down, which increases the risk of injury and causes stress on the lower back. Using a hamstring stretching device like the IdealStretch daily can help relieve knee pain and increase knee flexibility.
