DONT Stretch Tight Hamstrings!

Struggling with hamstring flexibility? 😭

It’s one of the worlds biggest misconceptions that flexibility is all about muscle tightness 🤨

Sure, muscle tightness is absolutely a factor that needs addressing but your nervous system is SO influential for the range you have and if you’re looking for flexibility gains, learning more about the nervous system is KEY 🔑

So before you go bending over those hamstrings time after time, be sure to give your sciatic nerve a little love first with some nerve glides. This is just one example of how you can do so.

Give it a test right now and see what instant gains you can make and let me know below! 💭

❗️(I would argue my gains in this video aren’t as significant as you might find because I didn’t fake it and I frequently practice nerve glides! It can make a BIG difference if you’re new to this)❗️

I do these hamstring nerve glides almost every day! So good for my lower back as well. 😊

The original video back in the day helped me a lot. Thnx for the reminder.

This actually works!!!! Wish there was a specific course for splits n touching toes with knees straight. This girl is great!!!

I suffer from a herniated disc and bad sciatica so I think I might try these😅😭

Thanks. My hamstrings (and quads) have lost so much flexibility from a knee injury. Anything to help improve their range is very useful

Agreed! Just tried this and saw immediate improvement? Awesome!! Any other way to do "nerve glides" to further stretch other muscle groups?

I would die with immediate effect trying those out.

OMG I just tried this and it works like magic 🪄 thank you!!!
