Anyone have any ideas on how to combat super tight hamstrings?

I'm talking tight like insanely tight, can't do any yoga poses involving hamstrings correctly 🫠

Not sure what you mean by hip but yeah they’re pretty strong

Another potential issue is that the tightness might be mistaken for weakness. 

Again, potential, as I can’t see you irl, but what is a fact is that stretching something that’s already weak doesn’t end well. 

Are they strong? Both for knee flexion and hip?

Sit on the floor w legs straight in front of you. If this suck, sit on a pillow.  Put a belt around your feet and hold each end in your hands. Pull yourself forward.

After, spend 10mins in downward dog and do a few up dogs.

While in down dog, press your heels to the floor, then release , do this a dozen times or so.

Reverse hypo healed my lower back. Just hard to find in most gyms.

I will try this, I think strengthening the counteracting muscle groups would also help, ty

Try the reverse hyper extension machine with correct technique 

Blood flow more important than stretching

So sorry to hear that

I often get lower back and hamstring pain

I follow a lot of these mobility routines of this channel. And they are quite responsive to DMs. 

Good luck!

Mostly hamstrings, but posture is really affected.  Keeping a straight back and hinging at the hips is super difficult

Is it limited to your hamstrings, or is there hip and back pain too?
