Why Do Your Hammy Muscles Need Gradual Training After a Strain?

Hamstring injuries are common in high-intensity sports and have a high recurrence rate. Understanding the mechanics of these injuries is crucial for effective rehabilitation. Progressive loading, a methodical approach to strengthening, is key to a successful recovery and can reduce re-injury rates by up to 83%. A structured rehabilitation program should include appropriate strength and flexibility exercises, and integrate resistance training and sport-specific movements. The healing process comprises three phases: inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling. Each requires specific loading strategies for optimal recovery. Proper load management is at the core of rehabilitation, with objective measurements guiding progression. Personalised programs should incorporate sport-specific movements to ensure the hamstring is prepared for high demands.

Crucial components include careful progression through strength building, learning safe exercise techniques, mastering muscle control, and gradually incorporating sport-specific movements.
