A member asked:
What cardio exercises can i do with a pulled/tight hamstring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swimming: Rehab of a injured hamstring should be done with consultation of a physical therapist. These can be nagging prolonged injuries. Swimming is a choice for cardio curing rehab. Use pain as your guide. If it hurts, don't do it.
