HAMSTRING INJURY
– HOW
PHYSIOTHERAPY IN
MANCHESTER CAN
HELP YOU HEAL
One of the most frequent injuries we treat at the CT Clinic are the hamstrings of
sports people and athletes. The severity and levels of tension differ in all cases.
Some of our patients believe they’ve solved the problem by taking a few months
off from sports. But when they have returned onto the field and end up feeling
the pain back!
A hamstring strain injury happens when one or more of the three hamstring
muscles or tendons are injured, whether fully or in part.
It is among the most frequent injuries, especially for the ones who are involved in
high-speed activities. In majority of the cases, hamstring injury can be effectively
treated by consulting an expert of Physiotherapy in Manchester. A professional
physiotherapist can enhance the quality of your life by providing direct care, Deep
Tissue Massage in Stockport, and exercises.
What Causes Hamstring Injury?
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
Biceps femoris
The hamstring comprises three muscles and they are located in the rear of the
thigh that connect the pelvis with the leg.
The three muscles are:
Hamstring strains occur when there are injuries as a result of the force generated
when the muscle is stretched. It is typically the case during high-speed running,
when there are sudden starts or abrupt changes in direction or when the muscle
is stretched beyond its limits due to activities like running, hurdling, sprinting or
heavy lifting.
The risk factors for injuries to the
hamstring are:
Lack of stretching before working out
Sudden acceleration or deceleration movements
Weakness or imbalances in the muscles surrounding the hamstring
Previous hamstring injury
Overuse or overtraining
Fatigue
Poor posture or mechanics during physical activity
Age, as the risk of injury increases with age
Muscle tightness or stiffness
Poor flexibility or range of motion in the hips, knees, or ankles.
Different types of hamstring injury
The severity of your pulled hamstring muscle injury can be different from person
to person.
3 Types of the hamstring injuries are:
Grade 1 Hamstring Injury:
Any indications of strains or pain are not evident until that activity has ended.
There could be cramping, tension or pains when the hamstrings get stretched or
contracted.
Grade 2 Hamstring Injury:
It is an immediate pain that is more than the grade 1. It’s usually confirmed by
stretching as well as contractions of the hamstring muscles. In this type about 10
to 20 percent of muscle fiber gets torn.
Grade 3 Hamstring Injury:
This degree of injury is extremely severe, and often comes by stabbing or burning
pain. Patients suffering from this grade of injury are usually unable to walk due to
pain or insufficient muscle control.
What can a physiotherapist do to heal
a Hamstring injury?
Before visit a physiotherapist and get
your treatment, your should:
If you experience the injury of a hamstring, visiting a professional Chronic Pain
Specialist can help you aid it with the best.
Rest the area that has been injured by avoiding painful activities like running or
exercising. If you’re experiencing significant difficulties walking, you may require
crutches. Be careful not to over stress the area that is injured.
Apply ice to the affected area three to four times each day, for 15 to 20 mins. CT
Clinic’s physiotherapist will strategize a personalized plan that is specific to the
nature of your injury.
After visiting your physiotherapist,
the professional will perform a few
of the below mentioned points:
Manual therapy
Physiotherapists are certified in the art of manual therapy. They gently move and
manipulate joints and muscles to improve flexibility, mobility and strength. Your
physiotherapist will lightly massage the affected region to promote healing.
These techniques help in focusing on those areas that are difficult to treat by
yourself.
Range-of-motion exercises
Although it is common for hamstring muscles to be stiff it’s crucial not to stretch
your muscles too early in the healing process. A physiotherapist can advise you
on the time when it is suitable and safe to start moderate flexibility exercises.
They will show you how to perform these exercises in the clinic as well as at
home.
Exercises to strengthen muscles
Hamstring strengthening is an integral element of your rehabilitation program. A
physiotherapist can evaluate the strength of the muscle groups on each leg and
then prescribe and guide you through specific exercises to strengthen weak
areas.
Functional training for mobility
When you have regained the strength of your hamstrings mobility it is crucial to not
put unnecessary pressure on the injured area. Your physiotherapist will design an
exercise program that is functional specifically for the hamstring muscle that will
gradually move back to more intense tasks.
If the extent of your hamstring injury calls for surgery then your physiotherapist will
consult and work with you surgeon, ensuring that you receive complete and
constant postoperative care.
What are some home care
treatments for Hamstring Strains?
The positive side lies in the fact that only severe muscle tears need surgery. The
majority of hamstring strains can be healed on their own through the help of
physiotherapy.
To treat a strain in the hamstring at home,
follow the below steps:
Make use of the RICE formula immediately following the injury:
Rest
Reduce the number of miles you take and make sure to avoid putting any weight
on your legs if your doctor advises it.
Ice
Utilize a bag of ice or an ice compressor to lessen swelling in the first 48-hour
period following the injury. The process should be started as soon as possible and
then continue for 3-4 hours for 20-30 minutes each time until swelling goes down.
Cover the ice or an ice pack in a cloth. Do not place the ice pack or ice directly on
your skin as it could cause tissue damage.
Compress
Use elastic bandages or wraps to support your leg and help keep swelling at bay
if your physician advises you to do so. Doctors advise using elastic compression
bands rather than compression shorts as they can be adjusted according to your
needs.
Elevate
If you’re lying or sitting down Keep your leg up at an elevated position to avoid
any further damage.
Use pain medication
Ibuprofen as well as other non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are
able to ease discomfort and lessen swelling in the legs. Certain doctors
recommend other medications such as Acetaminophen. But before taking any
medicine, consult your doctor about it.
