Stretch out those hamstrings so you can move easier and reduces chances of low back injury and running related injuries. In the modern world most people sit for long hours resulting in tight hamstrings which restricts proper movement. Hamstrings are group of three muscles that sit on the back of the thigh. They cross two joints, the hip and the knee…and their function is to bend the knee and extend the hip. Hamstring tightness can increase risk of injury and impairs optimal performance for athletes.

Hip Openers After Running Stretch

by Manu Kalia

in Knee Pain Relief, Runners Knee Pain

Easy hip stretch to open up the hip joint and muscles. I am really emphasizing hip openers for anyone looking to improve their running performance. This is a great stretch that stretches both hips in multiple planes and specially great for opening up the hip joint for better movement and function. A must after you finish your run or other athletic activities.

Most of us sit too much and over time tend to get stiffer and stiffer through the hips often leading to lots of problems like low back pain, knee pain, sacroiliac joint pain, hip pain, etc. You don’t need anything fancy, I am using a picnic bench and it works great.
