Can you recommend good ways to help a hamstring injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progressive: Start with ice and anti-inflammatory meds and relative rest, then progress to gentle rom and strengthening, followed by progressive strengthening and return to sports activity. Ideally, treatment with a physical therapist will provide a structured program.
