Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 G'day Joe, Just a couple of quick points re your hamstring. Ice is great initially, but be careful not to overdo it. It will actually inhibit the repair process if you carry it on too long. At the time of the initial injury is good, also after a re-exaccerbation. A heat and ice contrast regime may help in between. The sensation in your hamstring is probably not from lack of conditioning from you have said, but may be due to some dysfunction in your sacroiliac joint. Certainly worth getting it checked out by a chiro/Manipulative physio/osteo. I don;t think I've ever come across a hamstring tear without contusion, that didn't have a sacroiliac component. The SI component may well be post injury, but worth assessing regardless.

I am a sprinter (new to the sport)who recently felt my hamstring tighten while running, and at the bottom of the gluteal muscles. This occurred Wednesday morning (july 18th). Since then I have been icing twice a day for 20 minutes. The pain is minimal, but I know it is there. BACKGROUND I am in very good condition, so I do not feel this was due to lack of conditioning, but more towards possible weakness in the hamstring. I have been training for 4 weeks, 3 in the blocks and have run a 7.1 in the 60m. thanks, Joe Sarti .......City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have a healthy 30 yo male that injured himself by walking on top of a pile of X-mas trees and his leg sinked and got stuck while moving rapidly. The torque applied to the leg created a twisting motion strong enough to give him a good lumbar sprain and a Hamstring strain. I have been treating for about ten days and the lumbars are feeling very well, but his hamstring is still terrible. Tx has included, ultra sound, EMS, massage, trigger point and chiro. I am not sure what else to do to speed up his recovery and how to put a objective evaluation of the extent of the strain. Should I order an MRI? Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks and Joyeux Noel a tous!!! Cote Silverton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
