Here are a few effective hamstring stretches that nurses can easily perform:
Standing Hamstring Stretch: Stand with one foot slightly in front of the other. Bend the back knee and lean forward from the hips, keeping the front leg straight. Hold for 20-30 seconds and switch legs. Seated Hamstring Stretch: Sit on the edge of a chair with one leg extended straight in front of you. Keep your back straight and reach towards your toes. Hold for 20-30 seconds and switch legs. Towel Hamstring Stretch: Lie on your back and loop a towel around the ball of one foot. Straighten your leg and gently pull the towel towards you, keeping your other leg bent. Hold for 20-30 seconds and switch legs.
