Summary

Tightness is a sensation, not a diagnosis. And what that sensation is communicating depends entirely on when you feel it, where you feel it, and what it actually feels like. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to interpret what your hamstrings are actually telling you, so you can address the real issue instead of stretching harder, hoping it works, and accidentally making it worse (something that happens far too often). If you've been stretching your hamstrings, chasing tightness, or were recently told you need to stretch them, this episode is for you. 1:1 Assessment/Consult: https://jenhosler.com/monthly-coaching/ Movement School Wait List: https://jenhosler.com/movement-school/
