Thanks Doctor Jo I’m a basketball player n when I was changing speeds with dribbling the ball between my legs i felt some tightness on my hamstrings so i searched up your video it really helped
Thanks for that! Love the dogs. I've got an 80lbs boxer. My gait is trashed, I suspect ham strings and hips. Video was.helpful and charming, yet another reason to like SC. Cheers
I know, it seems like forever!! But it's not really getting a good stretch with anything less!! You can ease off of it a bit. Stretching should be a "good hurt," but never painful! Good luck!!
Do both during the same session. Warm up your muscles first with a gentle 2-3 minute warm-up. Then stretch the muscles out. Finally strengthen them after you have stretched them out!!
Thank you soo much the pain I felt from these stretches was exhausting but than i listened to what you said using the hips and oh my the relief I felt after just ONE set was unbelievable THANK YOU!!!
Try rotating your leg outward (external rotation of the hip), and then stretch with your leg straight. That should help get the outer hamstrings!! Good luck!!
I have been doing that seated floor stretch wrong my whole life until today! I thought it was because I was hypermobile I never felt my hamstring stretching in that position, but it's because I was flopping over from my back and not from my hips. This is a true revelation!!! My hypermobility makes it hard to accomplish quality stretching, but thanks to your brilliant guidance, Dr. Jo, my hamstrings have been thoroughly stretched and I am so grateful ❤
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a 50+ year old yoga student who is more like a bull in a china closet...hamstrings are my major obstacle...your videos really help so much. :)
i got injured while training on the field and your video helping me once again..... long time ago i watching the " tendon " one ... i knew i can count on you, doc. thank you so much.
This really helps me a lot! Before i can't even walk properly, it also really hurt. But after doing this stretches, most of my pains are gone! Thank you so much
My hamstring has been hurting for a week and I kept doing the same stretch that did not work so I watch this video and did mainly the standing up stretches and my hamstring feel so much better. Thank you so much for making videos of different stretches so that if someone doesn’t like one stretch, they can choose another.
Hey, just wanted to let you know this video helped me out when I was on the ground almost screaming in pain with a cramp. I was trying almost everything and pulled my phone out and youtubed this LOL, thank you!!!!!!
Just wanted to say thank you so much!! I just had a massage appt and was told to look up different stretches to deal with my weak points. I have 2 of yours saved and I really like your to the point style but also warm, with personality, & with an explanation over why you would do something one way over another- it helps!! Thank you for your time and for putting these together! :)
I like Dr. Jo’s videos. No beef or extra annoying talk. Some initial intro and then she goes right into it. Also super cool exercises. I used a lot of her exercises when I had a knee injury.. thanks!
I had stopped running for 4 months.. thinking it was a ligament injury after a fall.. and waited for it to recover. just got to know that it was a tight hamstring and now found your video. Really hope I'm back to running soon. Hope to run a half marathon by the end of May 2022. Thanks Dr Jo!
I had the same problem, i guess i figguered it out a little bit, by stretching ur hamstring you need to stretch ur whole leg out, if you calves are even shorter than ur hamstring they will reach their full range of motion even before ur hamstring does. So it probably means you need to stretch up ur calves first before you can really work on ur hamstring
Another video that will greatly improve my hip pain. I am a senior and I should have started stretching years ago. Thanks for the numerous informative videos.
I had this numb pain and nerve stretching feeling in my thigh... I was afraid that it could be a thrombosis or something like that. It feels like if a thick muscle or nerve is under constant tension. Very ugly feeling. These stretches helped tremendously. Will do them every day now and i hope that the pain goes away for good. Thank you for this video!
I play football and I haven't been exercising for the past few weeks because of an upper hamstring injury towards my lower glutes, the stretches are helping thanks Doc
Not a stupid question at all. It would more likely be from either tight IT bands, or a weak VMO (your inner quad). Those are the two issues that usually cause kneecap tracking problems.
Unfortunately, I am not really sure without getting to evaluate you. It is different for everyone. If you can, I would recommend going to see a physical therapist in person for an evaluation, and then they can help you figure out what to focus on.
Thaaaank you!!! I am a gymnast and I was practicing some skills on my trampoline when I felt some tightness and then I just searched some stretches and this helped me so much!
Dr Jo your exercises have cure of back, knee, ankle and now looking to improve my Achilles tendinitis that seems to be connected to my hamstrings and calf
I just went back to kickboxing & my master told my kicks have not been improving because of my hamstrings ! After I watched this video I’ve been working on them legit & it’s helps so much I’m most indefinitely incorporating this video into my daily stretching routine 🤲🏿🥷🏿💯
I'm super flexible (I'm a wrestler) so typical hamstring stretches rarely really help. the tip you gave about curling your toes is wonderful!! opened up new doors for me!
Very thorough explanation and demonstration! Love Doctor Jo showed all different ways of doing the same stretches. The best video for hamstring stretches!

My calf muscles is very strong but thighs muscles is very weak and I have don't knee lock.
Stretching will help for my knee lock?
I play football in Australia and I have sore hamstring I can run on it but if kick ball on that foot it hurts
Thanks for that! Love the dogs. I've got an 80lbs boxer. My gait is trashed, I suspect ham strings and hips. Video was.helpful and charming, yet another reason to like SC. Cheers
@@actormarkhopkins8576 You're welcome, and thanks!
my hamstring has been so sore recently so i followed this and my thigh feels so much better already, thank you soooo much
You're welcome.
You explained and demonstrated the stretches perfectly. I did them and they made my hamstrings come alive again! 👍😎 Thanks for doing this video.
You're welcome.
I know, it seems like forever!! But it's not really getting a good stretch with anything less!! You can ease off of it a bit. Stretching should be a "good hurt," but never painful! Good luck!!
This really helped my right hamstring is so sore from my workout and couldn’t walk with that leg being straight but this helped a lot
Ten years later and it’s still doing wonders for everyone 😭 thanks doc
You're welcome.
Thanks!! I hope the stretches help!!
Do both during the same session. Warm up your muscles first with a gentle 2-3 minute warm-up. Then stretch the muscles out. Finally strengthen them after you have stretched them out!!
Warm up - Stretch - Strengthen - makes perfect sense, why was I not told this a long time ago....thank you dr. jo
Do we do the stretching and strengthening exercises on the same day or we first strech for a few day then strengthen them?
Thank you soo much the pain I felt from these stretches was exhausting but than i listened to what you said using the hips and oh my the relief I felt after just ONE set was unbelievable THANK YOU!!!

+Alyssa Hernandez You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
what if i feel all of these stretches in my calf and not my hamstrings?
Bad form
💀
I had the same problem, i guess i figguered it out a little bit, by stretching ur hamstring you need to stretch ur whole leg out, if you calves are even shorter than ur hamstring they will reach their full range of motion even before ur hamstring does. So it probably means you need to stretch up ur calves first before you can really work on ur hamstring
@@Fr-ron Thank you! This is very helpful
@@tomrago844 no problem, it also helps to put your toes away from you instead of pulling them towards you. That way you only focus on your hamstrings
I feel better already 🎉
Thanks, Doctor Jo!
You're welcome!
