How to treat hamstring soreness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ice.: Ice your hamstrings for 20 minutes at a time , 3-4 times per day. You can also take over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, which should help. As you feel better, you can begin some gentle stretching of the hamstrings. If you can't get past the soreness on your own, then you may need to see an athletic trainer or physical therapist.
