Hamstring injuries can be a beast; they drag you down mentally and physically as treatment tends to draw out and disrupt your training plans and goals. They present with pain and tenderness near the gluteal fold and over the posterior thigh, making it sometimes difficult to run, ride, walk and even sit. What I would like to do here today is briefly (as a longer post is to come later) give you some basic suggestions based on research findings, what patients have responded positively to, as well as what to do about your training and overall fitness.
