Timestamps -- 3:13 - Rest/protect the injury, use cold pack and ibuprofen, don't stretch it. 4:49 - Perform gentle range of motion routine, 3 times per day. 5:57 - Perform light crossway massage on injured part, few minutes at a time, stop if it starts hurting, consider foam rolling lightly 9:22 - Light walking and isometrics with exercise ball, 3 sets of 10, go easy and increase intensity incrementally every other day 12:04 - Very light weight exercises like assisted, single leg box standups

I still can’t stretch without re injuring myself and it’s been eight years. I stopped track for the season and never did therapy for the injury. I just stopped working out and never got back into it because the injury would come back every time.

Got to start rehabbing and building the strength

[@zaynahchummun668]

I pulled my hamstrings 3 times last year due to extensive stretching. The 3rd time I had to take complete rest for like 6 months without stretching or work out. Now again, some few days ago, heard the pop sound again while stretching and I was heavily warmed up. I just can't understand why my hamstrings keep on getting pulled and if I don't pass out my limits, I'll never be able to do my other splits.

[@ThePsychicStylist]

@@zaynahchummun668 I'm researching the same thing. You have to be careful if you're female because high estrogen times of the month make your joints vulnerable. I have reinjured my hamstrings like 3 times now because I went a few years after an injury without official rehab. I am now going to a structural massage therapist and PT because I'm serious. I need to know what the heck is wrong with my body that I keep getting these pulls!

[@anihappiness8113]

These are stretches for pulled hamstrings, not ruptured, torn, or broken hamstrings

[@MistaMoose]

@@zaynahchummun668 Stretching might not be the key- strengthening it might be. From what I understand, weak muscles are tight at length, so if you strengthen them you will get more comfortable in those ranges of motion and protect yourself from injury.

[@jeremyx1431]

all this is useless if your diet is lacking. you also need blood flow and lots of sleep. for blood flow, light swimming worked for me and I upped my protein and vegetable intake. kangaroo steak, brusel sprouts, kale/ leafy greens and for carbs, sweet potato. listen to your body, discomfort is normal, pain means rest. also positive thinking. iv healed a bucket handle miniscus tear without surgery, made a full recovery from a spinal fusion and healed severe quadriceps tendonitis by focusing on blood flow and diet. I'm not a professional, just have spent a lot of time, trial and error. also, I noticed moving to a tropical climate speeds up the healing process

[@johnnyx53]

I’m no expert dear, but I did remember reading that if your hamstring hurts closer to the butt than it does in the middle (muscle belly) then this injury takes longer to heal so bear that in mind. My own feels good after I rested for a while but I was going back to running too soon and it would hurt all over again so rest is important. you may need to takeoff a couple weeks from your activity so you don’t worsen it. I’m going back to non-leg weight training and some walking to give me a chance to recuperate. Good luck!!

Everyone's recovery is different and unique. You can start increasing the intensity little by little. Just make sure to listen to your body and if things start to feel bad again, cut down. You don't want to prolong the injury.

I had a bad experience with a deep tissue massage where the massage therapist tried to break up a big knot in my upper hamstring. I think he may have strained it due to the sharp, stingy pain I feel. I didn’t notice the pain much until I went to the gym and did some elliptical the next day and did some stretching. Now, the next day, I notice the pain regularly. I can walk but I have a bit of a limp. However, due to my public transit commute into the city for work, I cannot avoid walking all together.

Well its chronic then, make sure you ice it and elevate it every night, also some stretching but not too much, make sure you stretch it to a limit and then bring it back and do that everyday until it starts to feel effortless. The last thing you want is to not do anything, that would just cause your hamstring's to heal and not have any flexibility because you never did any stretches on it.

I’m asking this because today I’ve just noticed throughout the day every time I try to stand up or jump a bit while doing some activity, my I think hamstring is hurting. It wasn’t like where it just suddenly hurts and I’m in pain but more I realize it is hurting

[@Amanda-eh8zf]

I woke up to sleep to (subconciously) stretch my leg when i pulled my hamstring :( and that really sucked cus everyone was asleep but luckily i called my mom on my phone and she woke up. The same thing keeps happening and most recently my upper thigh got pulled to, I haven't been able to cure (?) it yet and it's annoying.

I injured my hamstring training freestyle wrestling, thank you for this!

Can you please tell me why I’m getting constant small muscle spasms on/ in hamstring?

[@kinnarishah7740]

How soon you can participate in competition if it's level 1 strain? My daughter had this yesterday while training and right this sat she has her State Olympic sparring Taekwodo tournament .

You guys are legit! Thanks for providing this info, just blew a hammy

[@faithm2001]

Hello, My name is Faith Martin, and I am eighteen years old living in Southern California. I have been dealing with chronic body pain for almost a year now. I fell on a treadmill last early August and dislocated my pelvis/hip alignment and all of that. I thought I broke my hand at the same time however, so I continued to work out weightlifting like I had been doing before I fell on treadmill. Pain began to show up in lower left glue ham tie in/ischial tuberosity area, which I now know after seeing MANY doctors and a good PT that it is most likely hamstring tendonitis. The left leg butt/glute still flares up a little time and again but not horrible. I can usually deal with it with ice. As with any tendonitis, good PT and progressively challenging the muscle is essential. I have been doing that for about 3 months to address the left ischial tuberosity tendonitis and it has improved A LOT. Continuing issues however that I have been unable to resolve, and my current PT cannot seem to resolve, is chronic pain/muscle tightness/spasm in the right leg, which is quite odd considering I never directly injured that leg. Theories include incorrect gait walking due to pelvic/hip misalignment, hip flexor tightness, TFL tightness, IT band, the list goes on and on. I have tried every single type of therapy under the sun. Chiropractor, PT, acupuncture, electroshock therapy, massage therapy, percussion, etc. and my right leg continues to be tight like it is sore and I have worked my right quad to death. I also have chronic flare ups of neck pain/tightness, which is so bad some days that I have to stay in bed. No idea what causes it and it is nearly unbearable. Muscle relaxer pills/advil don’t help long term in the way that I need them too. I still feel pain even when I take them. I realize this is a lot of info and quite overwhelming but I just wanted to catch you up on my story and have you be able to get an idea about whether you can help me or not. Thank you for taking the time to read all this. Please respond, anything is appreciated. Do you think this could be a nerve tension problem (in terms of right leg)? Also, Within the past 5 weeks it has seemed to calm down and go away ish but I just went to the gym and tried to do old exercises but with like such low weight. how can I tell if my hamstring is just sore from a workout or if it is a tendonitis flare up? Thank you. I am all out of money to pay other PTs and all the other doctors… I am desperate. Blessings, Faith Martin Jeremiah 29:11

Here because I did prone leg curls and then hit deadlift right after. Worst soreness I’ve ever had, feels good and bad at the same time.

[@mochismixes3780]

Please answer this, I'm completely clueless, is my hamstring pulled? Because when I raise my leg it hurts and if I stretch my splits, but I don't see any bumps or pain when I'm walkin.

[@ogstanley3514]

Zamia Q hi! I’ve strained both of my hamstrings before. I have a strain right now actually! Even if you don’t have any visible bumps or swelling it is very likely that you could just have a minor pull and/or strain. The swelling is going on inside your body. Just follow the tips in this video and make sure to take it slow in the rehab process.

[@mochismixes3780]

I went to the gym & it was busy. I wasn’t able warm up properly. Normally I’m starting to rep out 600lbs on squat. 405 should be light to me. I did paused & on the 3rd Rep my inner hamstring just popped. Hurts like hell, limping around now really hoping this isn’t gonna take weeks to heal. Wondering how weak I’ll get from taking off. I literally I just screamed sitting down on the toilet Hurt a lot more then I thought it would

[@dropshiprocket1388]

Hi! Can I ask how much longer a pull or tear on the sit-bone muscle would take? You suggest it takes longer? We're 10 days in and it's still sore :/

[@henryaraujo9]

I did the same thing! Only, I was sprinting outside. I was done, walking inside the building to get my bag and go home but I decided one more sprint..... I felt my left hamstring start spraining so I stopped real fast(not good). This totals 5 hamstring injuries. 3 on right leg, 2 on left. I’m a soccer player so it’s common. I’m currently in recover. Will try these exercises! Thanks for the vid

[@SuperPulseadasArmwrestling]

Wath exercises did you do?pls help me

[@henryaraujo9]

Super Pulseadas Armwrestling lay on your back and bend your knees like your about to do a crunch. Then make a bridge by pushing your pelvis to the ceiling until your glutes and hamstrings contract. Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps. If you feel pain, just stop and rest. I’d recommend a foam roller as well so you can get rid of the knots in your hamstrings. Hope this helps man, hamstring strains are the worst..... keep in mind that if your hamstrings are over worked then other muscles like your abs and glutes and even lower back are not doing their job. I learned all this from these guys, years of experience with hamstrings, and most importantly “Athlean-x” on KZbin. Search his videos, they are the best I’ve seen.

[@SuperPulseadasArmwrestling]

@@henryaraujo9 thank you very much Henry!! also the solution would be on strenghten thr glutes :) i will search more about this injury

[@jadasugar22]

This is what happened to me... how long did it take for you to recover

[@garyjacobs1183]

Playing senior softball and boom. Never experienced that before. Something that was recommended to me and I found very helpful for managing the pain was a portable PEMF device put out by KT Tape and Don Joy Braces among others. It looks like just a simple wire ring with a switch on it to turn it on and off. I was able to remain pretty active with that little device and at my advanced age, that's a positive!

it has been almost 6 months that I’m suffering from upper hamstring and still it didn’t go away.The reason I have got here is because I haven’t stoped when I injured and I continue to stretch it harder.I think now it is healing But I can feel a bit pain at the end when I kick(I’m a taekwondo athlete). I want you to tell me when can I start my trainings again? And how do I know that I’m completely healed?

Hey so I play football and I ran a post route and felt like a pinch in my hamstring a little bit sharp but not that painful at all. I walk regularly and could jog. It happened 4 days ago. I could do everything like high knee butt kickers I don’t link at all even when I felt the pinch When I try to jog wit a lil bit more speed I feel like the soreness creeping up. Do you suggest that I should just keep resting it?
