You explained and demonstrated the stretches perfectly. I did them and they made my hamstrings come alive again! 👍😎 Thanks for doing this video.

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!!

Thanks!! I hope the stretches help!!

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. :)

Ten years later and it’s still doing wonders for everyone 😭 thanks doc

Hi Dr Jo, I had my knee replaced 6 weeks ago. My hamstring is very tight after many years of not working properly. Your tips are very helpful.

I have really bad arthritis in my knees and these really helped me a lot, thank god I found your channel

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 ❤

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 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

@@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

It is incredible how beautiful Dr. Jo is...and she seems to have a very kind and joyful spirit.

Glad I found your video. Back went out after sitting a flight from Dallas to Charleston. Feeling better now after doing the stretches you recommend.

Fantastic and easy to do stretches. Thank you so much. I feel better already! Can’t wait to see the effects after a few days of practice.

These are the simplest and most effective ones!!

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

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!!
