The surprising reason why hamstrings (back of the thighs) are stiff and difficult to stretch
This time, I'll be talking about the surprising causes of stiffness in the back of the thighs that makes them difficult to stretch, and fascia release as a workaround.
Someone I met the other day came to me for advice: "I stretch every day, but my backs are always stiff and I can't stretch properly."
When I showed them my stretch, they said, "When I'm lying on my back and I try to bring my extended legs in toward my body, my backs are stiff and get stuck in the middle."
Some of you might have had a similar experience. They'd been stretching the backs of their thighs, but they'd always found it difficult because they were stiff, so they loosened up a certain part.
Once they did that, their legs were able to move in toward their body all at once ^^In fact, in this case, the reason the hamstrings at the back of their thighs were stiff was in an unexpected place. That was why they were getting stuck and preventing them from stretching properly.
