I've just done my hamstring

[Roztitute]

Was just playing footy and I've done my hamstring, pulled it or whatever. Couldn't run anymore or play at all.

Any tips on a speedy recovery? Eg stretches or anything?

Thanks guys!

Pop down to Finch Farm mate, you'll be back playing in no time.












Or November more likely.

You'll find some stretches on youtube, look for piriformus.

Avoid dumbbell lunges like the plague. My hamstrings are killing me right now.

amputation is the answer.

I'm off my tits like a man possessed on protein shakes mate. No one can stop me.

I'm not even going down the path of my calf raises, they would blow your mind.

Tells you pretty much everything you need to know to get the thing rehabbed as quickly as possible. To synopsosise: Ice to get rid of the inflammation and dead blood for 2-3 days, total rest. Then start flushing the area with lactate to get the healing process flowing

Once you're back, work your hamstrings more to stop it happening again in the future.

If it's a proper tear, you might need physio because it might throw your biomechanics out. Sports massage is also important to break down any scar tissue

You should all be grateful that your free GOT subscription comes with your personal trainer included: the maddison.

He may be an apple loving freak but the lid knows his fitness stuff. I remember I got into a debate with him once and realised within three posts I was way out of my depth.

RETREAT! RETREAT!

You need to do some flys for that mate and snort two lines of creatine within 20 minutes of finishing them.

I love that you've just done your hamstring and you've come on here for advice!!

I'd probably do the same I think!!

Get well soon pal.

I think hamstring injuries come in grades. Hope yours isn't a bad grade!
