One of the many problems with hamstring issues is knowing what the root cause is. Since the pain stretches up into the glute area, you may want to try stretches that get to the piriformis area since for some of us, that is the source of hamstring issues. The muscle in question is deep in the but - very difficult for massage to deal with. The classic stretch for the piriformis is known in yoga as the "pigeon pose". Details should be relatively accessible through the web.
