Hi M,

Welcome - tight hamstrings is ususally common to all lumbar spineys. Has yours changed?

A great hamstring stretch - sit on a couch, bed... with one foot on the floor, the other straight on the couch. Sit facing the outstretched leg, your back straight. Outstretch your arm, parallel to your leg, the other arm resting in your lap. Lean forward as far as you can, keeping your back straight, touching your toes if possible. Do not bounce. Hold that position for 10 seconds (or longer) and repeat twice. Do the other leg.

This is very non-invasive of any other body part and requires no strain. You can do this several times a day-
