Do tight hamstrings cause back pain?

The link is weaker than people think. Stretching hamstrings can feel good, but tight hamstrings are not a proven cause of back pain, and stretching alone rarely fixes it.

Strengthening the hips and back and gradually building flexibility works better. If a stretch makes your pain worse, do not push it.
