Hey man, I recently just had a grade 2 tear myself. I wanted to know based on you following this video how long it took you to fully recover and return back to full running?
@@zkcfactory4840 Glad to say it did only take 4 weeks… to get back to 90-95%. Recovering the remaining 5% has been more mentally challenging. The soft tissue would probably hold… but now I feel that, before I try it again, achieving full ROM in the nordic curl is a “prerequisite”. Such a standard is great for injury prevention (check out Ben Patrick), and would grant me the extra confidence to rectify my 100%. Also worth noting that I took it easy after 8 weeks. So I assume a more continued approach would yield better results. This is an excellent protocol. I ran less than specified due to my recovery rate, but still made huge progress in just a month. I wish you a full and wise recovery, friend! And when in doubt, rest some more 👌🏽
Can you guys help me out? I get an mri tomorrow and I just wanna kno if I have a tear or strain. I felt a pop when attempting to jump during a basketball game. If I feel a pop does that automatically mean a tear? What happened when u guys got injured
Easily the best rehab channel on RU-vid. You do a fantastic job at explaining the proper steps in returning to play and I want you to know you are very appreciated. Keep doing what your doing man
The presentation of the individual exercises is really well done in your presentations. What I really appreciate is when the progression videos are shown side-by-side in the summaries, something I haven't seen other presenters do.
Strained my hamstring about 2 weeks ago (grade 1-2) Starting to run around 50%-65% and strengthen carefully. This video has AMAZING stuff, not generic .. hits a wide spectrum of rehab capabilities. Love the mobility and lengthening focus vs just strength. I am a very strong athlete and I believe my injury was due to lack of mobility. I need to be more mobile and strong in my specific sprinting positions to avoid re-injury.
How long did it take for you to run full speed again?? I’m In the same situation I can jog and run w good form but if I go to fast I can feel the discomfort
I pulled it many times, but what I learned looking back at my track career was that I was too heavy. I was around 190lbs sprinting over hurdles. I was already lean but had a lot of muscle (I love the gym lol). But it is not worth it for sprinting. If you can loose safely 5-10lbs and maintain same strength this will allow your hamstring to be less taxed. @@reaperthe6503
Your situation may be different, but half the battle is mental. It is important to keep your head up and do not be afraid to test the hamstring here and there with exercises in the gym (physio ball kicks, nordic hamstring, etcs) You definitely want to do exercises that carry over to the track. Icing on the cake would be practice mobility and hydrate well! Do hamstring exercises OFTEN, but don't over do it to where it affects your running. Eventually your body adjusts to frequency and once you establish good strength you can slowly back off on the volume and prioritize it just a couple times a week. Hope something out of this helps, best of luck!@@reaperthe6503
One last thing... you want to push yourself hard on hamstring exercises in the gym so then it transfer over to the track. If you go hard and get lactic in the gym with your hamstring fatiguing you will worry less once you spike up on the track. Mental fortitude! @@reaperthe6503
Thanks for making this video. I pulled my hamstring while sprint running. Winter is fast approaching and I was not sure if running was ok to do as part of my recovery. So I am excited to introduce running into my recovery program. I also am into boxing and rucking both of which I believe has been beneficial to my recovery. I was not sure of the type of injury I had at first so it was a few steps forward and a few steps back. I have learnt that it is no doubt important to know the type of injury you have before you start doing recovery exercises.
Thank you very much, i have been struggling with harmstring injury for 20 years, your videos are getting me somewhere. I can fell some movements in my thight after each exercise and the pain is faiding away. I wish i saw this back then in 2005. I have done about 3 surgeries without relief. It is my first time i can feel that my hamstring is healing, just within two days of exercises🙏
I got injured a while ago and I watched your videos on this study and also your experience performing it! Did my plan and sticked to it! It took me a bit more than 15 days (took me 3weeks) to be confident to return and play, I returned play with no pain whatsoever! I am just here to thank you for this video, not only a high quality and well explained video but also a precise and perfect information! Thank you so much for this, you helped me a lot! I also feel my hamstring so much stronger in both legs! Thank you so much!
By far the most in depth video I've seen! I play tennis five days a week. I recently pulled my hamstring after a 4 day long intense tournament (my fault for not recovering properly). I've pulled calf muscles before so I know the recovery process for that muscle group. This is unknown territory for me. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. So helpful!
Great video! At the same time, depth of explanations, great visive demonstrations, and scientific articles citations (I saved already the one on progressive running protocol, so it has been a nice confirmation)
It's a great video with loads of useful exercises and advices, thanks a lot. I'm a bit surprised that you don't refer to the Askling protocol which significantly shortens the time to getting back to sport after suffering from hamstring strain.
my physio recommended i load my strained hamstring with any exercise, can do few sets of leg curl machine can call it a day.. but nothing programmed like what you gave for free. thanks
Good informative vid, thank you. The last time I injured the hamstrings while sprinting, I was out for about 3+ weeks, not the best feeling. Ever since, paying better attention to hamstring strength and elasticity.
I had moderate strain/tear I continued to run 3 miles a day but stretched A LOT more and did lots of warm baths+ice I was essentially fine in few weeks
Just started this protocol , will also be doing core strengthening exercises in his other video , will give updates every week Day 1-3 : stretching prior and after exercises feels great !
I would say left hamstring is feeling good, but really follow the program for the running protocol as after stage 1 I went right to stage 2.5 so follow this first
7 years of right hamstring issues developed doing yoga. 6 attempts at PT have not helped. Can't run, bike, swim, lift with much effort without re-aggrivation. Going to give this a shot. In level one should the glutes be contracted all the way through the rep?
Silly question but are we supposed to do all the level 1 exercises and then once the condition of that specific exercise is met - move onto level 2 of it ? Also I listened to the podcast from 2021 today with Jack Hickey, it was brilliant
Title states "pulled" "strained" hamstring so obviously this is not for a hamstring "tear" correct? Just want to clarify as it was not stated in the video.
Pulled, strained, and torn hamstrings are all different ways of saying similar things. Usually a low grade tear is referred to as a strain (a tear of only a few muscle fibers). A high grade strain usually implicates many more fibers at once and takes longer to recover from.
Hey, im about 3 weeks post injury. Do you have any advice if everything is pain free except for the hip extension exercises (nordic curl)? Every other exercise I can advance to the weighted variation without any pain but even the simplest variation of the nordic curl is giving pain right at the top of my hamstring. Would you maintain the weighted variation of every other exercise and just stick to level 1 for the nordic curl until it doesnt give pain?
Recommended by NHS Physiotherapist 😅, i was trying to convince the Physio to refer me for massage... Oh well. 😂 This looks like a fun road with learning skills to recovery
Great video. About two weeks I got a tear on the inner hamstring. The doctor said it was minor nothing to worry about and it would heal. The pain was high and walking was possible but the pain was high and I would do what I could. I am starting to walk but I have sort of a limp. A coworker said that it looks like my weight is shifted to side of foot *outer*. I’ve seen tons of videos but I have never seen a video that addresses this. Is this normal?
Hello Rehab , Can you do video about TFCC recovery I have pain my wrist over 1 and half year already I have go to the doctor in my country but they just said it's oke and it will recovery back @@ Could you have my please ^^
Man i had acl surgery and i am now 9months post op with hamstring graft They used my Semitendinosus i can feel it by touching it like when i touch my non surgery leg I can touch that Semitendinosus but in my acl leg i can't... But now my acl leg is 80% symmetrical to non acl
Can you do a video on adductors? Maybe with focus on adductor magnus since that muscle is tehnically a hamstring and an adductor. I am curios about hamstring part.
I'm struggling with my lateral (high) hamstring when i'm sprinting. More specifically during late swing phase, it's not really pain but more a 'stretch' sensation. I did all these exercises without pain but it's not really coming together when sprinting. The only exercise when I feel the recognizable sensation is when i'm lying in the doorpost with my leg extended and elevated or doing hip flexion in combination with knee extension on a skateboard. Could it be beneficial do to isometrics in these positions? Or is this just too much stretch? Thank you!
