How to Improve Hamstring Flexibility in 5 STEPS

[@daisymarie901]

So useful! I teach youth circus and I'm trying to educate myself so I can help my students understand their mobility better. Just found your channel. Am going on a binge.

Hey Daisy! Thanks so much for your comment! Glad you're finding the content helpful!

Scapula mobilization would be very helpful especially chronic elevation and shoulder internal rotation. Thanks for your content!

Thanks for your comment James!

Dave, thanks for including pictures of the muscular and skeletal systems! I got totally lost when you rattled off a bunch of medical/anatomy terms. Showing these graphics makes it easier to follow you. Great content as always!

This channel is amazing

This was so helpful! I’ve been an active yogi for the last decade but still can’t get my splits. I’m also a hairstylist and stand all day long, and now realizing the problem isn’t a flexibility issue and it’s likely nerve related. Thanks so much

So happy it was helpful!

A video on injury rehabilitation would be extremely helpful, particularly for pulled hip flexors, and muscle tension/knots that cause chronic pain.

[@shiftmovement]

Thanks for the recommendation! We will try to do that for you!

I've been following you for some time and did the Teachable course you had. These KZbin videos are a great overall reference though!

Thank you so much for watching McKell! We are glad you're enjoying the content.

Awesome video as always, but personally, I found this one super useful as I didn't knew about a lot of things here. I love all the science involved!

This was a great video. Really love the nerve glides and pancake sit ups. Definitely going to try those out

[@shiftmovement]

Glad you like them!

Great content Dave! I am curious of how hard I should work the RDLs. Do I need to treat it as a strength exercise and push to 2-3 RIR or can I go lighter with BW only?

[@shiftmovement]

I think moderate weight for 5-7 reps with a 5 second tempo is good!

[@iamballfrog]

@@shiftmovement Awesome. Thank you so much!👊

8:26 when people in the bus hear you talking to your lifting bro about exercise science Outstanding video. I noticed that: when i try to touch my toes, i press the nerve and i feel it in the lower back, when i do pike push ups and i try to lower the amount of weight on my shoulders by transfering weight towards the heels the same thing happens, and also when i lay down on the ground and try to touch my toes with toes up. BUT i tried it now with: pike seated with toes pointed, and standing pike with books under my heels as an elevation where the feet are plantar flexed and i don't feel the pain even with deep stretch. So that is a nerve compression issue? Should i focus on nerve glies(11:47)? Any advice would be helpful Thanks for the video. It helped me

[@shiftmovement]

Great thoughts here Strahinja! It's always hard to offer specific advice online without a full in-person assessment, but that does sound like it might be more neural related. Worth getting it looked at though to be sure! Best of luck with everything
