Hamstring injuries and hamstring tears are one of the most-common athletic injuries out there. They can be painful, debilitating and keep you from your preferred activity, but if you do not rehab them correctly they can become nagging and even chronic.

There are certain activities and exercises you must do and some that you must NOT do in order to rehab your hamstring muscle strain the right way. Not enough people get these steps right; and getting them wrong can actually result in future re-injury.

If you have an “old hamstring injury” that “still acts up” - chances are it’s because you haven’t taken the right steps in healing that injury completely. The techniques in this video can certainly help you with older injuries as well.

Now that being said - not everyone watching this video will be at the same “phase” of rehab (or time since injury). A hamstring injury that’s two days old needs to be treated differently than one that is two weeks old; which needs to be treated differently than one that is two months old.

For that reason, I have broken this video up into “phases” of recovery based on relative time and amount of healing since your initial hamstring injury occurred. Please keep in mind that the times are relative and may be more or less depending on the location and size of your unique, specific injury.

Please click on the time stamps below to be taken to that specific exercise phase in the video.

PHASE ONE (1-7 DAYS AFTER YOUR INJURY) (1:07)

PHASE TWO (1-4 WEEKS AFTER YOUR INJURY) (3:50)

PHASE THREE (4+ WEEKS AFTER YOUR INJURY) (7:01)

I hope these techniques offer you some good ideas of how to effectively heal your hamstring strain and offer you some relief soon. Keep in mind that consistency is key and that this injury doesn’t “go away” in a few days. However weeks of consistent performance of these exercise will result in decreased pain and increased function over time.
