What to do about tight hamstring after knee injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching.: After a knee injury, the hamstrings can become tight , shortened and weak. Stretching and strengthening of the hamstring muscle group is the answer. If you need help with this, then you should see an athletic trainer or physical therapist.
