Can i fix my hamstring injury without physical therapy ? so i can return to my favourite sport again ?

Sorry...: ...But it depends on how severe the injury and what the sport is. Chess? Absolutely. High jump? Notsomuch. Should at least have a thorough assessment to be certain you do not have a high-grade (=significant) injury--if not, then may be able to self-rehab.

Maybe: With some research you could figure it out on your own, but it's helpful to have someone knowledgeable set you on the right course of rehab. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3362981/.
