Wow, blown away that moving my head changes the tension behind my knee.

[KalifaPhillip]

Wow...i have been overstretching and suffering for months. This worked right away when I added head movement. Been doing elephant walks, figure 4 and this leg extension with no change. 15 reps of this with head movement and it feels better.

Omg! Thank you so much! This really helped me!

These guys… are so massively undervalued it’s ridiculous. They should be getting millions of views. Take it from someone who’s watched endless videos on these subjects.

ok, so where have you been all my life? This is gold, seriously. I have been in physical therapy for a year now and my hamstrings have been tight, my right leg has been tight up to my foot/ankle. I started this exercise yesterday and I see a huge difference. My right leg stops cramping up and for example my thigh stopped hurting in child's pose. Brilliant, thank you so much

[skiziskin]

Thank you! This explains my lifetime of hamstring tightness.

Releasing the sciatica this way helped me with other tightness not listed here, lower back and quads relaxed after "flossing."

I usually never comment on videos but this one is too amazing not to! I found this video after searching for an answer to why my legs start tingling when i do hamstring stretches. after having made great stretching progress during my yoga practice I had several months of inactivity. When trying to start stretching again this tingling and numbness started appearing.
I did the test shown on the video and sure enough it was the sciatica. I just did the "flossing" and tried my usual hamstring stretch again. Guess what? no tingling 🥹🥹🥹 This was after just one round! Can't wait to see the results after doing this regularly. Thank you so much guys keep up the good work ❤️ subscribed!

Wow, have struggled with hamstring tightness my whole life and have asked multiple physios about it before and was always told that it would get better with consistent stretching… as soon as I pulled my head down in that test it shot pain through my leg, I really hope these excercises can help this improve! Thank you for the video!

[bkoiwge]

Thank you so much! This is the very first time I’ve ever heard anyone mention the problem might be my nerve and not my hamstring!! And sure enough my sciatica nerve proves to be completely the problem, I so appreciate this!!!

[Randomuser-cpts]

Thank you so much I’ve been trying to get more flexible hamstrings for years but they seem to have been only getting worse it hurts so bad to stretch them that it makes me want to cry I couldn’t figure what was wrong with me I knew that hamstring stretching never felt like any other type of stretch cause it was just pain it’s such a relief to know it was cause of a nerve and that it’s fixable without extreme pain

Update

I did a few reps on both sides and I can sit up straight with my legs in front of me with barely any pain which is a huge Improvement because before watching this doing that would make me cry

[pb-fort]

crazy how long it took me to figure out it was the nerve that causes the tightness in that area. I really always wondered why my yoga routines and hamstring stretching routines did plateau after some time.. crazy also that none of my teachers addressed this issue although it seems so obvious to be a cause of problems for many.. Thank you for you video!! Will try this and see if it improves my flexibility.. Regards

I feel you. I pray in my heart to Jesus Chris. ❤❤❤
