Hamstrings Massage

To loosen your hamstrings, lie flat on your back with your
right foot over your left knee.

Grab your right leg just above the knee using both hands,
with your fingers pressing into the back of your leg and
your thumbs on top by your kneecap.

Run your hands up your thigh, pressing with your fingers as
you go. Repeat several times.

Finally, press the fingers of either hand into the middle
of your hamstring and slowly rub across the leg from side
to side.

Move your fingers to work the entire muscle. Avoid putting
pressure on the area directly behind the knee, where there
are fragile tendons and ligaments. Now work the other leg.
