Why Your Hamstrings Always Feel "Tight" (And Why

Stretching Isn't the Answer)

If you are a runner pacing yourself along the Aliante Parkway or hitting the local trails here in North Las Vegas, you’ve probably experienced that nagging, deep tension in the back of your thighs. It’s that constant, annoying sensation of "tight hamstrings."

Naturally, your instinct is to stretch them. You prop your heel up on a bench, lean forward, and hold the stretch until it hurts. You might even roll them out on a foam roller or lacrosse ball until you are blue in the face.

But tomorrow morning, you wake up, take your first few steps, and there it is again: that same stubborn tightness.

Here is the clinical truth that corporate "assembly-line" physical therapy clinics won't tell you: your hamstrings probably aren't actually short or tight. They are weak.

At LeWIN Physical Therapy and Performance, we take a different, evidence-based approach. We don't guess, we measure. We help North Las Vegas athletes break the endless cycle of stretching and finally run pain-free.
