| Description: | Hamstrings stretch, straight leg, supine, with partner
- Client in supine position on massage bed, legs extended. Lift leg to be stretched as high as possible with extended knee. Leg not being stretched can be bent with foot flat on table if this is more comfortable.
- Trainer positions self to offer resistance to the isometric contraction of the hamstrings. Ensure hips are kept flat on table during the entire sequence.
- Trainer hold the toe in dorsiflexion with other hand proximal to knee joint.
- Client holds isometric contraction against trainer’s shoulder/chest for 6 seconds.
- Client then contracts opposing muscles while lifting leg higher, keeping the knee extended and foot in dorsiflexion.
- Hold the stretch for 10-30 seconds depending on ability.
- Repeat until stretch is held for about 40 seconds.
- When engaging in any partner PNF, communication about pain/discomfort it crucial. Pain should not be felt during the movement.
Hamstring self-stretch, supine, with stretching strap

- Use a towel of stretching strap wrapped around the arch of foot on leg being stretched. Flex at the hip to the point that a stretch is felt.
- Begin slowly to attempt to push heel toward the floor, engage in an isometric contraction of the hamstrings for 6 seconds.
- Following the 6 seconds, contract opposing muscles, and lift leg higher, deepening the stretch.
