Which muscle would you stretch to releive a runner who is complaining of a hamstring spasm?
Stretch NOTHING! The common misconception is that stretching relieves muscle spasms, wrong! It does just the opposite. What you should do instead is MET. muscle energy technique. If the quads contract, they will automatically release the hamstrings because of their antagonistic relationship. Muscle spindles and golgi tendons are the yin and yang of release and relaxation.
