“My hamstrings are soooooo tight. I should stretch more”, said every client I have worked with the past 14 years.

What does tightness mean to you? To most, it means something is inflexible and needs to be stretched.

This statement often gets reported when we ask someone to touch their toes. In this situation, a client will bend forward, keep their knees straight and reach their hands to the floor. I often giggle (on the inside, of course- professionalism!) when a client can put their palms to the floor exclaims, “I’m sooooo tight.”
