Exercises For Recovery : Hamstring Strain
- Exercises 1: Bent Leg Hamstring Stretch
- Exercises 2: Bridging
- Exercises 3: Dynamic Hamstring Stretch
- Exercises 4: Hamstring Catches
- Exercises 5: Standing Hamstring Stretch
Bent Leg Hamstring Stretch
Step 1 : Lie on your back and bend one knee.
Step 2 : Pull the leg over, keeping the knee very slightly bent until a gentle stretch is felt at the back of the leg. Perform 3 sets of 10 seconds once or twice a day.
Bridging
Step 1 : Lie on the ground and bend the knees, placing the feet flat on the floor hip-width apart. Press the feet into the floor, keeping the arms by the sides.
Step 2 : Raise the buttocks off the ground until the body forms a straight line from the shoulders to the knees. Squeeze the buttocks with the shoulders remaining on the floor.
Step 3 : Lower the buttocks to the ground and rest for a few seconds. Repeat 15 times and then rest for 1 minute. Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
Dynamic Hamstring Stretch
Step 1 : Sit with one leg extended and the other leg folded behind with your foot towards your glutes.
Step 2 : Fold over at the waist and reach for the shin or the foot.
Step 3 : Roll back up to the seated position. Repeat with the other leg.
Hamstring Catches
Step 1 : Stay relaxed as your leg falls under the influence of gravity.
Step 2 : Only contract the hamstring muscles to prevent the foot landing. Again begin with 1 set of 10 reps and build up each day to 3 sets of 15 reps.
Standing Hamstring Stretch
Step 1 : Place your right foot on an elevated surface at or below your hip level. This could be a chair, ottoman, or step on a staircase. Flex your foot so your toes and leg are straight. If your knee tends to hyperextend, keep a slight bend in it.
Step 2 : Bend your body forward slightly toward your foot. The further you go, the deeper the stretch. Don’t push so far that you feel pain.
Step 3 : Release the hip of your raised leg downward as opposed to lifting it up. If you need help easing your hip down, loop a yoga strap or long exercise band over your right thigh and under your left foot. Hold for at least 30 seconds, then repeat on the other side.
