For as long as I can remember I have never been able to do toe touches or straight leg raises. I can probably only bend down halfway on toe touches before the pain starts. When I do a straight leg raise, I can barely reach a 45 degree angle and no more. Are there any exercises or stretches to help or should I see someone to help with my range of motion?

Perhaps maybe a combination of yoga and Pilates?

Couldn't hurt. The purpose of Pilates is to increase interabdominal pressure which strengthens the muscles around the spine. Spinal health is never a bad thing.

Romwod is predominately lower body mobility.

Check it out.

When I'm stretching to touch toes or any flexibility exercise its usually in my hamstrings. I can really not get very low without it burning really bad back there.

Is it "pain" or just "uncomfortable"?

I guess I wouldn't call it pain, more of the burning feel you get stretching. It's just weird that I can practice stretching and I never really go any lower on toe touches or leg raises.
