Do your hamstrings always feel tight - even when you stretch regularly? New research shows that in up to 76% of people, hamstring tightness may come from neural tension, not the muscle itself.
A recent study found that changing neck and upper back position during common leg tests can reveal whether movement restriction is neural or muscular - helping guide more effective care.
