Treatment for Hamstring Injuries and Tears

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5954″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” label=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]So, you’ve been laying low for a few months now, avoiding both the gym and that treadmill gathering dust in the garage. One day you realize that you’ve put on a few extra pounds, so now seems like a good time to get back into a vigorous exercise…

By far, the most common injuries are sprains and strains when it comes to any types of sport. As per survey conducted at Chandigarh PGI out of 465 athletes who presented to us with sports-related injuries over a span of 5-year period, 363 athletes (from 24 different sports) with complete records were identified with basic sports injuries.

Sports injuries are frequent injuries among players. In addition to that, it is caused because of overuse, direct impact, or the application of force. One of such injuries is a Hamstring injury which causes sudden strain and tears to the tendons or muscles. The 3 grades of hamstring injury are- Grade 1: Mild muscle pull or strain, Grade 2: Partial muscle tear, Grade 3: Complete muscle tear

The period of time it demands to recover from a hamstring strain or tear will depend on how critical the injury is. A minor muscle pull or strain or grade 1 may take a few days to heal, while it could take weeks or months to recover from a muscle tear or grade 2 or 3 types of injury.

Foundations of Hamstring Injuries

A hamstring injury can occur if any of the tendons or muscles are stretched past their limit. It occurs during unexpected movements, such as sprinting, lunging or jumping, etc.

The recurring injury is popular in athletes and sportsmen, as you're more likely to damage your hamstring if you've damaged it before. Stretching and strengthening exercises and warming up before exercise, may help reduce the risk of harming your hamstring.

Procedure for Treatment

Recovering from a hamstring injury takes days or weeks or months, depending on how severe the strain or tear is. A hamstring injury may take several months to heal and you'll be unable to resume training or play sport during this time.

During the Primary treatment i.e. during the first 2 or 3 days, you should relax your leg as still as you presumably withdraw physical activity. Apply cold packs or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel to your hamstring for up to 20 minutes every 2 to 3 hours during the day.

In order to avoid the application of ice directly to your skin, you can compress or bandage the affected area to limit any swelling and movement that could cause further damage.

It is advised that you always keep your legs elevated and supported on a pillow as much as possible, to help reduce any swelling. As suggested by your physician you can take painkillers regularly such as paracetamol or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) cream or gel to relieve pain quickly.

Gentle exercises and stretching should not be strenuous as it could make your injury worse, but no exercise for too long can cause your hamstring muscles to shrink and scar tissue to form around the tear.

The Smart Hamstring Stretch for Tight Hamstring Muscles

The Problems with Common Hamstring Stretches

When your hamstrings feel tight, it seems obvious that they need to be stretched. (Or do they? You might want to watch this video on Hamstring Stretches – When You Shouldn’t Stretch Them – See more at: http://dailyvitamoves.com/hamstring-stretches-when-you-shouldnt-stretch-them) A very common way to perform a hamstrings stretch is to sit on the ground with your legs straight in front of you and bend over to reach for your toes. The issue with this is that most people round their back too much and overstretch weak muscles in their low back which could be detrimental to the integrity of the spine.

Another common hamstring stretch is to stand on one leg and prop the other leg up on an elevated surface like a bench and again reach over and try and touch the toes. The problem with this is that you can easily overstretch and risk straining your hamstrings if you’re not careful enough or don’t have enough body awareness to know where the appropriate limit is. The tendency is to be too aggressive in doing any of these common hamstring stretches.

How To Stretch Your Hamstrings the Smart Way

As you may know, I’m a big fan of doing things that take less time and that gets more things done. So if you had the option of doing a full body exercise that releases tight hamstrings AND helps to develop better balance, strength, and better posture, would you want that instead? Of course you would!

The hamstring stretch I show in this video is not only for getting more flexibility in your hamstrings, but it’s also designed to “kill 5 birds with one stone”!

Contracting your quad muscles to straighten your knee sends neurological signals to calm your hamstring muscles down and allow it to stretch as you raise your straight leg upwards.

Arching your foot of the standing leg helps to build strength in the little muscles of your feet that tend to get weak.

Contracting the glutes of your standing leg activates strength in your hip extensors and hip stabilizers.

Keeping your hips from moving forward helps with building upper body trunk stabilization.

Turning your arms outward and making reaching them “long” behind you helps you develop better posture.

Yes, there’s a lot of stuff going on and you might have to watch this hamstring stretch video a few times to make sure you get everything.

Why only try and stretch your hamstrings when you can do so much more and do it more quickly?

Here’s to making moves that nourish your life!
