Yes, but what about when someone has only around 45• on the SLR test? What would be the strategy? Static stretching for the Hams? Any other tips?

I still tend to rely on this strategy even with a really limited SLR. Focus a lot on the band assisted leg lower variation. I also use the PNF style straight leg hamstring drill. Get them to to their end range, push into the wall hard for 10-15 seconds and then have them try sliding deeper into the stretch.
