Presents as:
- Pain/discomfort whilst running or after a run around the sit bones and glute, extending down the back of the leg
- Pain with prolonged sitting whilst driving or on a hard surface
- Pain with lunging, hamstring stretching
- Pain that ‘warms up’ but is worse the next day

Causes:
- Sudden increase in running distance and/or intensity: starting a new training block, coming back to running after a period of time off
- Rapid introduction of faster running sessions: tempo’s, fartlek, hills or track intervals

Management:
- Initial reduction in training volume: reduce number of total runs and change session type to avoid rapid accelerations in pace and excessive hills, opt for steady state running.
- Initially reduce gym work that excessively stretches the hamstring: avoid weighted deadlifts, lunging and squatting.

How a physiotherapist can help:
- Education on training load and modifying sessions
- Structured, progressive reloading of the hamstring tendon with strength work
- Massage to reduce muscle tightness and for pain relief
- Running gait assessment to identify muscle imbalance or poor biomechanics

MYTH BUSTED!

1. You do NOT need surgery to start recovery after an ACL sprain
2. Conservative management (physiotherapy) can provide a good level of stability for those not returning to a high level of sport
3. Surgical intervention is however gold standard in short term stability and function for return to sport, but do not wait til surgery to start rehabilitation, start physiotherapy as soon as possible post injury.
4. There is no fast tracking recovery, Physiotherapy will be required for at least a year after injury and/or surgery to allow for full recovery

Discuss with your physiotherapist about a recovery plan if you have had a recent ACL sprain or have surgery booked.

This patient tip is quite important, as prior to your appointment you will have to fill out a form with your information and medical history, so allow yourself 5-10mins to fill in the form as you don’t want to be eating into your appointment time!

MYTH BUSTERS!

Ankle Sprains…

Did you know?

1. It is true that the ligaments torn with an ankle sprain will heal all by themselves…. HOWEVER

2. If you DON’T do any rehabilitation after an ankle sprain you are at a VERY HIGH RISK of repeat ankle sprains due to instability and weakness

3. The number one cause of ankle sprains is due to poor/no rehabilitation post initial ankle sprains!

4. Physiotherapists can provide a detailed rehabilitation program that they can progress as required to assist in returning you back to any sport/ hobby you are passionate about!
