The Hamstrings are the brakes of the human body, and the nervous system is the driver.
—
With poor intrinsic core strength and stability, as well as a lack of motor control, the Central Nervous System (CNS), interprets forward flexion as a potentially dangerous movement pattern. So in order to protect the body and not to injure the back the CNS tightens up the hamstrings via neurological control as a self protection mechanism.

Most people think that they have 'short' or 'tight' hamstrings, but in reality it is the brains way of saying it is not going to allow the hamstrings to lengthen because fundamentally it doesn't trust you when you bend forward.
—
This is where most people go wrong......they stretch, foam roll, massage, get their mate/PT to do PNF stretching etc Only for the hamstrings to release a little, then 3 hours later revert back to where they were to begin with. Only to continue that cycle for years!
