hi Tim, this is very helpful! for the first stretch,is your left leg straight or bent? Thanks! : )
Had an L4-5 discectomy after having what felt like a fork stuck in my nerve for a few years. Recently hamstring has been causing back problem and I'm so glad I saw this video because I definitely just tried to do this stretch wrong. Probably prevented me a whole world of problems.
This really helped me, thanks
Camera dude….step back man… there is so much space!
Fantastic explanation! Now I know why I get foot pain after exercises for the posterior chain! I will visit your neural flossing video now,
sorry, your knee is not straight, it is bending forward. you are doing wrong and teaching wrong.
This was enlightening, thank you!
I have that calf/back of knee tension and could never find a way to stretch the hamstring until now. Thanks for the valuable information!
I'm amazed I haven't heard this before. I've always just thought the calf & back knee need learn to be stretched before I can do hamstring exercises. The possibility of a nerve being involved is concerning.
I think that dragon pose will be my go-to hamstring stretch. Thank you
Holy cow that feels soo good. In all my years of tightness I've never felt such a glorious isolated stretch.
this is great! i have a L4-L5 herniated disc, and anytime i try to stretch my hamstrings i feel it only in my calves and then i start to feel a pinching and tingling sensation in my toes. Now i know why!!
iβm gonna go check out youβre neural flossing video nowπ
I have numness on my heel left foot
Excellent video! Thank you very much. Liked and Subscribed.
This is great and all but how do we address the nerves and numbness from Hamstring stretches? Will bent knee stretching automatically fix the problem over time?
Thank you for your content. This is a brilliant stretch, that safeguards the sciatic nerve. One question if I may: does this compress the front hip by going forward?
Thanks a lot its working better than before tysm ππ»πππβ₯οΈ
Wow! Have had short hamstrings my whole life, always get the knee and calf pain when trying to stretch. Now realise this is the nerve. So glad I found out. Will try this and watch the flossing video. Have liked and subscribed. Will also see if you have any videos for my shoulder pain. Thank you.
So uh, before this literally every time I tried to stretch I'd be pulling that nerve, and sometimes I'd force it thinking it was the normal way and it'd eventually stop. Could I have done any damage I should be worried about or would that just work itself out naturally by body regenerating or whatever. Also actually stretching the muscle does feel a lot better than what was literally just pain.
Edit: Somehow fortunately for me but my inability to get myself to commit to a basic routine because ADHD bullies me, I haven't been able to stretch consistently and thus haven't been overstretching the nerve repeatedly. Still whenever I did try and stretch, it'd hurt.
I have very tight hamstrings and the usual stretches always cause me significant pain at the back of the knee and I feel this tingling in the bottom of my foot. I never considered it might be a tight nerve.
What is the brand of the band you are using ? cannot find a "distraction" band in the USA
