Hamstrings
Tight hamstrings are the bane of runners, sprinters, soccer players, rugby players, and really every other athlete too. Moreover, even non-athletes suffer from tight hamstrings, especially working professionals who sit for extended periods of time. Fortunately, foam rolling the hamstrings is an effective solution for this pesky problem.
Foam rolling your hamstrings
Foam rolling your hamstrings is a simple exercise, and once you start to do it each day your tightness and pain will disappear within the first week or so. Be warned, if you’ve never used a foam roller before, you’re going to be sore tomorrow. These things are pseudo torture devices that we love to hate. Give it a few days though; you’ll never have felt so good. Here’s a great video demonstrating the most basic method of foam rolling the hamstrings. Note that this can be performed either one leg at a time, if you need more pressure on your fascia, or both legs at the same time if you’re a little more sensitive.
For the one leg variation:
1. Sit on the ground with your foam roller under your thighs, and one leg bent to 90 degrees with that foot on the ground. The other leg should be extended forward. 2. Place your hands behind you, and gently push up so that your weight is supported by your hands and the stabilizing foot. 3. Slowly roll back and forth until you’ve identified a trigger point. Once you’ve identified a sensitive area, maintain pressure there for about 30 seconds.
Gluteal strengthening exercises
The key to keeping your knees happy is to keep your gluteal (hip) muscles strong. Single leg squats are commonly used to build hip strength. You can perform bridge exercises, especially single leg bridges, to improve strength without placing excessive pressure on the knee and requiring much balance.
See if this is something you would benefit from by seeing a Podiatrist at Move. It is important these exercises are done correctly to prevent injury.
Spikey Ball for the foot
Use a spikey ball or tennis ball to stretch the arch. This can be used to help conditions such as plantar fasciitis, arch pain, Achilles tendinopathy, and bunions.
Slowly roll the spikey ball under the foot. You can apply a reasonably amount of pressure by weightbearing on the ball.
