Hands-on stretching for hamstring tightness
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a hands-on stretching technique (myofascial release) to improve hamstring tightness. It may help reduce discomfort and improve flexibility in the back of your thigh.

This trial tests different massage-type techniques to see which helps tight hamstrings best. If you are between 18 and 30 and have stiff hamstrings, this may help find a quick, drug-free solution.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for hamstring tightness: a type of deep tissue massage (IASTM) and static stretching. The goal is to see which improves flexibility and comfort both immediately and over time.
This study compares two types of hamstring stretching techniques (passive vs. active-passive) to see which one improves flexibility more in people with chronic low back pain. It may help you if your hamstrings feel tight and your pain has lasted at least 3 months.
This study compares two types of hamstring stretches (one targeted to a specific muscle and one more general) to see which works better for reducing knee pain and improving function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap). If you join, you'll do stretching exercises and we'll track how your pain and knee movement improve.
This study compares two types of gentle muscle-release techniques—post-isometric relaxation and myofascial release—to see which better relieves low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome, a common muscle imbalance. If you have ongoing back pain and tight hamstrings, this trial may offer a drug-free treatment option.
This trial tests two treatments for tight hamstrings in people with long-lasting low back pain: a special stretch and dry needling (thin needles placed in trigger points). It aims to find which helps reduce tightness and pain.
