Hamstring Strain Physiotherapy treatment.

During a hamstring strain, one or more of these muscles gets overloaded. The muscles might even start to tear. You're likely to get a hamstring strain during activities that involve a lot of running and jumping or sudden stopping and starting.

Getting a hamstring strain is also more likely if:

You don't warm up before exercising. The muscles in the front of your thigh (the quadriceps) are tight as they pull your pelvis forward and tighten the hamstrings. Weak glutes. Glutes and hamstrings work together. If the glutes are weak, hamstrings can be overloaded and become strained.

Luckily, minor to moderate hamstring strains usually heal on their own. You just need to give them some time. To speed the healing, you can do Physiotherapy treatment.

Physiotherapy Treatment including Ultrasound and TENS. Cupping and Dry Needling is very useful.

Rest the leg. Avoid putting weight on the leg as best you can. If the pain is severe, you may need crutches until it goes away. Ask your doctor or physical therapist if they're needed.

Use an elastic bandage around the leg to keep down swelling. Elevate your leg on a pillow when you're sitting or lying down.
