Yes, I have a hamstring stretch which is quite different from the traditional stretch. My PT said the "laying on the floor" type stretch flattens my low back which makes the stretch less effective. Instead, I do a standing stretch which is actually a version of a "hip hinge" and keeping the natural curve in my back. After doing it faithfully for 4 months I still can't touch my toes, but that's not my goal so I don't worry about it. Not sure if it helps to relieve the pain but I think it's the combination of exercises and stretches that are working.
