If a client has trouble sitting upright with legs straight which muscles are likely tightest? Hip flexors? Hamstring?

Hi Jo,
I actually have this problem myself quite frequently. It is due to very tight hamstring, buttocks and back muscles. A client’s abdominal core may also be weak in this instance. Personally, I find yoga and pilates to be the best at treating my tight hams, glutes and erectors while strengthening my core. I also use a foam roller to do myofascial release of the area. This is commonly found in runners.
