This Week’s Tips:

Tight Hamstrings and Balancing Mindset During Quarantine

 
 

Last week I asked what your tightest muscles were during quarantine and you answered! Tight hamstring and hips are the unanimous the culprit. When your hamstrings are tight you may not even feel it, but you will feel aching in your lower back.

Since the hamstrings run from the back of the hip all the way down the back of our legs, it makes sense that when they tighten they pull on the hips. When the hips are pulled, they send deferral pain to the lower back. This is why even when your lower back doesn’t feel tight, your lower back still hurts. Check out the link below for hamstring stretches related to lower back pain.
 

Many of us are adjusting to working from home, and looks like we will be doing this for quite some time. It is challenge to balance home life and work life. How do we draw the boundary? The Harvard Gazette came out with an insightful article to help answer some of these questions. Click the link below to read it.
