A shade tree mechanic will tell you, If the
parts wear together you need to replace them
together even if one part still seems fine. It
is because chances are the other part was
compensating for the weakness of the other part
before that part broke. That compensation could
have weakened or increased the wear and tear on
the part that didn't break and shorten it's life.
It's not so different with the human body

One part of your body may be causing you pain but
the human body is a very well balanced vehicle.
If your low back is hurting the cause might be
something else. In the case of your low back you
might wake up and it's just another day, and
swinging your legs off the bed, instantly you
feel your low back aches, or later on you reach
to lift something and there it is, that low back
pain (often excruciating) and tightness again.
You didn't do anything to cause it. It just
happened.

Everyone will tell you, you need to strengthen
your core and stretch to get rid of low back
pain. While weak abdominal muscles are typically
a contributor, there are other lessor known
culprits the hamstrings. They can reek havoc on
your low back and your buns of steel, the glutes.
The hamstrings are the group of three muscles
located in the back of the thigh. The hamstrings
attach to the bottom of your pelvic bones. If
they get too tight they can pull down on the
pelvis and increase the work for the pelvic
muscles and low back. Normal activities rarely
give that group of muscles the type of stretching
they need to keep them from getting overly tight.

So what causes tight hamstrings? Well, typically,
weak abdominals, (just like everyone assumed)
caused your low back pain as well as tight
hamstrings which in turn aided in causing your
low back pain. See the cycle here? Or There are
even more probable causes. Remember the shade
tree mechanic? Poor posture, compensating changes
in how you hold yourself due to pain in another
part of your body can cause weakness or stiffness
or over work in other areas of the body. The
weakness of other muscles or another movement
related issues can change the stress on the
hamstrings. For example The flexor muscles at
the front of the hips can also contribute to the
tightening of the hamstrings. And...if your
gluteal muscles aren't really buns of steel,
those weak muscles can contribute to the tight
hamstrings and low back pain as well. Everything
is related.

Stretching the hamstrings on a regular basis can
help keep both this group of muscles of the low
back, the glutes and even sciatica pain from
ruining your day. Stretching will reduce
tightness and keep you healthy. The stretches
should be used to reeducate and elongate the
hamstrings. As always see a physician before
trying any exercise or stretching program. The
sciatic nerve can be irritated by some stretches
