Kneeling Hamstring Stretch

In a half-kneeling position, extend the front leg straight with heel grounded and toes pulled back into dorsiflexion; hinge forward from the hips to target the hamstring belly and tendon.

Key points

  • Square the hips by drawing the front hip back and pressing the trailing hip forward
  • Maintain a neutral spine and pull the chest toward the front toe
  • Pull toes toward shin to involve the calf and sciatic nerve gently

Common mistakes

Excessively rounding the mid and upper back to reach the foot rather than hinging at the hip.
