5 ways BackAware can help your Hamstrings
-
1. Focus on more than just the hamstring.
The hamstrings attach at the pelvis- When the pelvis is not moving correctly then the hamstrings have to work harder.
Getting the Pelvis moving better gives less work for the hamstrings. -
2. Better Pelvic Control
Studies show that lack of control at the pelvis can overly stretch the hamstrings. Our BackAware Protocols teach much better pelvic control again taking pressure off the hamstrings.
-
3. Develop Glute Strength
Often the hamstrings are over-working because the glutes are weak. Again, with good pelvic control we must get the glutes firing to allow the
hamstrings to do less work and recover. -
4. Running Drills
A lot of hamstring issues occur when running. We need to teach you specific drills to improve co-ordination of the hamstrings when running.
-
5. Eccentric Hamstring Length
Finally focusing on hamstring health is essential. Again BackAware Belt makes sure you are doing all the exercises correctly so you are truly
targeting the hamstrings.

Niall Hogan
2 Years of Hamstring issues
I have had 2 years of hamstring issues that have stopped me playing. Eoin identified the cause of the problem and for the first year I can not have to think about my hamstring when playing and feel like I can sprint again.
Sharon Mallone
Fixed my Hamstring
Had pain right up by the insertion of the hamstring and couldn't shift it. What I really enjoyed was that the focus on the whole injury. It involved fixing pelvic control, running mechanics and improving hip mobility. It all helped.
Elizabeth Kent
Exactly what I was missing
I am a cyclist that has a sedentary job and I have also undergone 2 spinal surgeries over the last 10 years, all of these have taken toll on my body and lately I found despite fitness, niggles were starting to appear. I just finished a 8 week block of BackAware Pilates, I found the sessions excellent and exactly what my training was missing. The classes have made me aware of my weaknesses, hips and glutes…

Eoin’s pilates classes are a real game changer! If you want to strengthen your glutes, abs and core whilst improving your flexibility strength and mobility these classes are for you. Like many people, I have lower back pain and from the beginning Eoin made me realise that I could help myself by combining physio sessions with pilates and a good morning routine. I can honestly say that my overall back health has improved incredibly. The pilates classes are challenging, versatile and enjoyable…
