Description

As an ultar runner and chiropractor, I've spent years battling tight hamstrings, and like many, I thought stretching was the answer. But what if it's not? In this episode, I share my personal journey and the surprising discovery that strength training often provides far more effective and lasting relief than stretching. We'll explore why traditional stretching might not be addressing the root cause of your hamstring tightness and delve into the specific strength exercises that have transformed my running experience. If you're tired of endless stretching with minimal results, join me as we challenge conventional wisdom and uncover a more powerful approach to hamstring health.
