Most people assume tight hamstrings are a stretching problem. They’re not. Hamstring tightness is almost always multifactorial, which means the solution requires a broader range of strategies — not more of the same stretching that hasn’t worked.
On this podcast, Jason breaks down 6 evidence-informed strategies for improving hamstring flexibility that go well beyond passive stretching. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, yoga student, or anyone focused on mobility and movement quality, these strategies will change how you think about — and train — your hamstrings.
What you’ll learn:
- Why foam rolling works neurologically — not just mechanically
- Why strengthening your glutes may do more than more stretching ever will
- How weak hip flexors limit anterior pelvic tilt
- Why your adductors may be working against your hamstring flexibility
- How dynamic stretching and engaged stretching give your nervous system more feedback
- Why hamstring tightness is almost always multifactorial — and why there is no single magic technique
