This worked perfectly!! For years, I could NOT do more than 1 to 2 sets of lying hamstring curls due to severe spasm in the beginning of set 3. No matter how much I stretched and got enough potassium and magnesium, NOTHING worked. The coach I had did NOT know how to help me. Other youtube videos didnt help. I did this and the the first day I noticed a big improvment. A few weeks later, I can touch my toes with straight legs and can do as many sets as I want with NO cramping or spasms. Thanks Doc, this saved me..big time..this was absolutely huge!

Wow! This is absolutely amazing, I have struggled for years with Hamstring tightness, after doing these stretches I feel amazing, no pain and able to walk and move with great comfort. Thank you so much for this.

You actually saved me. I have been strugling with my left hamstring and the pain shoots up to my glutes. Also lowerback is really tight. I went to work today and almost called sick but your video popped up and I also had this ball with me. About 5mins of sitting and moving the ball under my leg the pain had now reduced about 90%. I will continue to do this at least every other day. Im really thankfull for your help buddy

Quick tip: had this issue for years, and for some reason I had to take some Magnesium for a week and it fixed it for good...

[derron]

You are amazing. I’ve tried others but your method works. The ball under the hamstrings, sitting at the edge of the seat and doing the strengthening exercises really took away the pain for me just after one try. OMG!! Bro you now have a follower all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲.

This is awesome. I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis and need to take care of my legs from top to bottom. I recently quit my job because it entailed being on my feet on a hard floor all day & I could feel my hamstrings every time I picked something up. I can’t wait to start these stretches.

[nicholasr]

Oh my goodness! Do you have any idea how long I’ve dealt with the tightest hamstring in my left leg and I’ve felt like a broken human being? This exercise literally made it go away within seconds. Thank you, so so so much!!

[liljohncentral]

I've been on and off with a hamstring injury from soccer, and these stretches have worked so well to release the muscle tysm

[jgunn]

These videos are better than others. Straightforward and actually accurate and helpful.
You all don't rely on flash and eye-candy, like the other crappy videos that didn't help me with hamstring pain.

You are so better than my physical therapist! You saved my life! 🙏
