9/18/25 - Why Stretching Your Hamstrings Isn’t Working

Do your hamstrings always feel tight no matter how much you stretch them? Maybe it’s time to shift your focus. Instead of endlessly stretching, consider adding neural flossing to your routine. There are a few major benefits to consistently incorporating neural glides into your mobility work:

1. Reduces the Sensation of Tightness

Many people describe a chronic "pull" in the hamstrings that doesn’t respond to traditional stretching. Neural flossing can significantly reduce this sensation because it addresses neural tension, not muscular tension.

2. Improves Range of Motion Immediately

It’s not uncommon for someone to gain immediate and substantial improvements in range of motion on something like a toe touch or other hamstring stretch, as well as dynamic hamstring lengthening movements. This is because the nervous system is no longer putting the brakes on movement.

3. Enhances Comfort in Seated and Standing Positions

For people who sit for long periods or struggle with lower back discomfort, neural tension can contribute to aches in the glutes or back of the legs. Regular flossing can help desensitize these areas and restore comfort in daily life.

4. Improves Mind-Muscle Connection and Movement Quality

When neural tension decreases, movement becomes more fluid, allowing you to execute your lifts more smoothly. It can also heighten your awareness of the hamstring muscles during training, improving engagement, and ultimately, improving long term gains as well.
