Hamstrings

A philosophy

The back of the body

Starts with the feet.

Some will feel the hamstring in their calf

Rather than their thighs.

Usually more mobile,

Toe walkers,

Ankle lockers.

Some will feel the pain

In their lower back

It’s nearly always the hamstrings.

Toe to the face,

Heels to the sky,

Drop your hip,

Breath into the belly

And wait.

This thick chunk of human

Anatomy will take awhile

As it struggles and fights me,

Or you,

Depends on how you see it.

The power house of ground force

And forward momentum

Is all part of your past.

The posterior chain,

All that comes next is powered

By what fires behind us.

Our past dictates our future.

Our patience determines our

Comfort.
