Proximal hamstring self treatment

This is Coach Cam Elliott demonstrating one of his favoured mobility techniques for upper hamstring tightness. 

Purpose: 
To self treat the upper hamstring, particularly reducing resistance created by the hamstring or hip. 

Description: 
Sit on your favourite treatment ball or device, eg. a spikey ball or lacrosse ball. Loop a superband around the foot, securing it by hand on the mid-thigh, across the front of the knee. Using the band to assist, straighten and bend the knee. 

Use a reassessment movement to evaluate the effectiveness, such as a passive straight leg raise, active straight leg raise, sit and reach or toe touch in standing.
