✨ Hamstring Strain ✨
Injuries are inevitable and can occur not only when playing a sport but also doing daily life chores.
Each of the muscles of the hamstrings are susceptible to strains & ruptures and can vary in severity.
✨Strains occur in sports in which an athlete has to suddenly accelerate or when the muscle has a sudden or forceful stretching.
If you think you have a strain 🤔
➡️Follow the RICE procedure
➡️Seek medical advice if you think rupture.
‼️If unsure seek advice of a physio or medical professional‼️
After a few days light exercise such as:
✔️Cycling
✔️Swimming
✔️Glute bridges with you knee flexed
✔️Knee extension within your pain free range whilst sitting
✔️Core stability and core work
✨Soft tissue massage is a great way to relieve symptoms and help aid recovery but this is recommend after you have rested for a few days.✨
ALWAYS listen to your body and don’t ignore when you’re in pain or discomfort from any injury.
If returning to sport or a active lifestyle, create a good stretching routine to help aid recovery ❤️🩹
