Eccentric Unilateral Hamstring Slider
ECCENTRIC UNILATERAL HAMSTRING SLIDER
This is a hamstrings tempo exercise that uses eccentric loading to help with tendon recovery. Start by lying down on your back with your target heel tucked towards your buttock and on a slider disc or hand towel. Raise the non-target leg off of the ground. Keep the core braced to maintain a neutral spine and lift the pelvis up. Slowly at a 5-7 second tempo slide your feet out while maintaining a neutral hip position. Rest the pelvis and pull the heels back in and repeat as required.
