You can find some very useful information about the hamstring muscles here.
Technique – Start by dropping to one knee in an area that will provide enough space to perform the exercise. Extend one leg forwards using your hand around the end of your foot. Place your other hand onto the floor for stability and start this stretching exercise when ready. Pull your toes towards you keeping your leg straight until you feel your hamstring muscle stretch. Hold this position for a count of 5. Repeat this technique as required until your hamstring muscles are full stretched. Repeat this stretching technique in the other direction with the other leg.
