Stop Stretching Your Hamstrings?

The title of this post is to get your attention, I have to admit. But, if you have an anteriorly rotated pelvis, (watch video to understand what I mean), it makes sense.

Summary of Video (for those that understand basic physical therapy nomenclature).

-If your pelvis is rotated anteriorly, your hamstrings are going to be stretched or lengthened. The proximal attachment of the hamstrings is on the ischial tuberosity bones.

-On the other hand, the hip flexors in the front are shortened or TIGHT, so the person with an anterior tilted pelvis should strengthen the hamstrings and stretch the TIGHT hip flexors in the front.
