Cycling: You need to focus on low impact exercises that will not aggravate your back or your hamstring. A stationary bike usually will provide just that. Try the recumbant style for more support for your back.

REST!!!! TIME: Hamstring injuries will respond to rest, massage and physical therapy. Time is your best ally. Plasma gel injection under ultra sound guidance is purported to shorten healing time. For herniated discs of there is no nerve impairment, the participation in pilates yoga is very good. As the hamstrings heal, the above exercise programs can be beneficial. Always use professional guidance.
