Hamstring tightness, characterized by a restricted range of motion and discomfort in the muscles located at the back of the thigh, is a common musculoskeletal complaint. This condition often manifests as difficulty touching one’s toes or experiencing stiffness during activities involving leg extension.
Addressing hamstring flexibility is crucial for optimizing athletic performance, preventing injuries, and maintaining overall musculoskeletal health. Historically, stretching and strengthening exercises have been the primary interventions employed to improve hamstring extensibility and reduce associated pain.
