Tight Hamstrings: Why Stretching Isn’t Enough and How to Fix Them

Tight hamstrings are often a result of poor pelvic alignment, specifically anterior pelvic tilt, rather than just muscle tightness.

By focusing on alignment, strengthening the posterior chain, and correcting the pelvic tilt, you can effectively address hamstring discomfort and improve overall movement quality.
