Chair hamstring stretch
A hamstring stretch at the edge of a chair, with one heel on the floor and the toes up.
How to do it
- Sit near the front of the chair.
- Stretch one leg out, heel on the floor, toes up.
- Keep your back long and lean forward from your hips until you feel the back of the thigh.
Remember
Long back, hinge from the hips.
Take care
Keep a slight bend in the knee if it feels too strong.
Ask a professional first if you have:
- recent back surgery or nerve pain down the leg
Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
