Releasing Your Hamstrings from Lying on Your Back
Фильм және анимация
Many students and clients have asked me if there is a way to release the hamstring muscles from lying on your back in supine. I actually prefer releasing my hamstrings from lying on my belly or from standing. However many people are uncomfortable lying on their belly and the standing position can also be problematic for some people too. The function of the hamstrings at the knee is to bend the knee. The hamstrings also extend the hip/thigh. This video deals with the knee bending function only. As you release the hamstrings from supine, bring your awareness into the back of your thigh (hamstrings). You'll be creating some friction with your heel in this demonstration to be able to contract your hamstrings. Follow the demonstration carefully. Some people have trouble feeling their hamstrings at first due to their high level of contraction. It's always prudent to move slowly and "do less." I've also included releasing the hamstrings from the belly (prone) position in the last part of this video. I have two other KZread videos demonstrating the release of the hamstrings. One video is from standing and one video is only from the prone position.

thank you for your feedback. If you had spasms that means either this movement is not yet appropriate for you yet, or you did it with too much force, speed, and/or too big, Try again using very small movements and going very very slowly. If you still have spasms, discontinue and do my daily Cat Routine movements to prepare your body for this hamstring movement. You are welcome to continue to give me more feedback. thanks again.

@@ninastan_ My overall recommendation is to learn the Daily Cat Routine because the brain organizes us as a whole and tension in your hamstrings could be coming from your glutes or your back or even you rib cage. Here's the link: kzread.info/head/PLZ4qHLITBsut0AfgvCATNsw_FWO5Ic7bA
