A stingray weighing nearly 800lb is thought to be the largest freshwater fish ever caught by rod and line. It was so big that several men on board a small fishing boat had to take it in turns to help on the rod.
The hamstrings, a group of three muscles located in the back of the thigh, can contribute to lower back pain. So keeping the hamstrings properly stretched and limber is a good formula for relief of lower back pain or sciatica pain, which tends to run down one side of a leg. A regular routine of hamstring stretching eases tightness that generates stress on the low back. The hamstrings run from the pelvis down to the knee.
Tight hamstrings can cause the pelvis and the hips to tilt backwards leading to flattening of the lower back resulting in back problems. Tight hamstrings pull the pelvis out of its normal position and can also cause postural problems, sacroiliac joint pain etc.
