Isometric Hamstring Activation

 

 

Isometric Hamstring Activation:

  • Bend your affected knee and place the heel on the ground.
  • Gently start to pull your heel towards your bum without moving your leg in order to activate the hamstrings.
  • You should feel the muscles on the back of the thigh working.
  • Slowly start to increase the intensity of the contraction from 25-50-75-100% maximal contraction but make sure that it remains pain-free.
  • Hold for 20-40 seconds.
  • Rest for 10 seconds.
  • Repeat 4x.
  • Complete 2x/day.
