Sure! Okay, so it’s not exactly a hamstring stretch, but it fixed the problem that kept me sedentary which in turn caused my hamstrings to get super tight. I’m sorry I don’t know the name of it so I’ll have to describe it (google failed me). Stand with one leg straight on a low stool or a stair step. Lean forward, pushing down very hard on your leg with both hands on your leg above the kneecap. I did this on each leg for a minute every hour or so. The idea is to increase the range of motion in the leg. I gained a huge amount in just a few weeks, something like 15 degrees worth. From there I was able to walk and stand without pain (it felt so good that took up running just because I could!). When I’ve been sick or less active I can feel the tightness coming back and it only takes a few stretches to get back to normal again. The PT who helped me was trained in Mackenzie technique. I guess their idea is to give people focused stretches and exercises instead of the insane, unachievable workouts that PTs often prescribe.
