Hammy rehab

[yessirskiii_]

I drunkenly pulled my hamstring really good over the summer, took some time off and got back to work/normal life

I still don’t feel completely comfortable sprinting, everything else feels alright..

any advice on how to make sure my hammy doesn’t fall out this season?

I’d recommend looking into KT Tape

Ehh stretching? Also lifting in the off-season?

I would try and talk with a PT to see what they say. Also to add on to the above comment, foam rollers are really good for stretching and one could probably target the hamstring area really well.

I stretch daily(using a foam roller) and worked landscaping over the summer. Never bugs me unless I sprint, which is when it feels odd. I bike almost daily (except today we got snow in denver) and don’t feel any issues there either.

Usually it will last a good couple days but if you try to rip it off early it will hurt pretty bad. You won’t give urself a wax job tho just some red marks. It usually starts coming off after u take a shower unless u get the waterproof kind

What about strength exercises for hamstrings? Seated and lying leg curl?

Not much besides wall sits, some squats and yoga. I’ll add those to the regiment ?

Strengthening first. Eccentric loading. Look up nordic hamstring exercises. PM me if you have questions.
