Practical use
Begin broadly and move gradually through the back of the thigh.
How it works
Hamstrings
The hamstrings are a large muscle group, so begin with broad pressure. Move gradually and use deeper contact only where the tissue tolerates it well.
FrontBack
Recommended pressure type
K
Knuckle
Best starting point for this zone.
The hamstrings are a large muscle group best suited to broad, steady pressure. A knuckle point spreads contact across more of the muscle at once.
Use safely
Begin with light pressure and increase gradually only while it remains comfortable. Stop if you feel sharp or increasing pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness, or unusual weakness.
