Hamstring Wall Stretch

Lie down on your back within a doorway with your legs straight on the floor.

Lift, bend, and place your unaffected leg through the open door onto the wall.

Gently slide your foot up the door until that leg is completely straight and your heel touches the wall. You must feel a gentle stretch down the back of your leg.

Hold the stretch for a count of 1 minute.

Keep working up the minutes little by little until you can stretch for as long as 6 minutes. To further beef up the stretch, keep your shoulders down, push the heel on the floor down, and lift your good heel resting on the wall a little away from the wall.

Then, slowly slide your foot down from the wall returning to the starting position, with the leg flexed on the wall. Repeat 2 to 4 times. Switch legs and repeat with your other leg. Relax whenever you must.
