🧐 What does rehab look like after a batting strain?

Phase 1️⃣: RICE, mobility and muscle activation.

For the first week or so, it’s time to take it easy, but no one said anything about bed rest or watching paint dry. You can still maximize your capacity to tolerate load in the coming phase by encouraging early healing, blood flow and preventing losses of motion. Set yourself up for success!

Phase 2️⃣: Load it up!

Now we can get back to the good stuff, with some modifications. This isn’t the time to PR, rather, it’s the time to slowly progress back to previous level of activity. Load tolerance is the key in this phase and you want to be sure to strengthen the injured tissues without overloading them. ⚠️Pain is going to be a huge guide here. Ignore everyone that has told you no pain no gain… that is only somewhat true but it doesn’t mean grit your teeth and bear. There are rules to this!

Phase 3️⃣: Return to… well whatever you want to return to!

It’s time to get extremely specific with the way that you’re loading so that you can be fully prepared for your activity, avoid injury, and excel in every way. This phase is CRUCIAL and is skipped wayyyy too often.

Those are the basics, and every case is different, so if you need a guided program, see a specialist. If you’re in the area, we’d love to see you and help you progress! When you reach out, mention this series for a special 🎁!

🤨 What put’s me at risk for a hamstring strain?

Here are 3️⃣ of the big ones!

—— —— ——

1️⃣ Poor eccentric strength of the hamstrings

If you’re hamstrings aren’t strong enough to continuously slow your leg down during the swing phase of running, eventually, they will reach a point when the forces being demanded by them exceeds their capacity. This is the point of muscle strain.

—— —— ——

2️⃣ Muscle imbalance between quads and hammies

Similar to the above, if your quads are working hard to drive the limb forward and the hammies aren’t tough enough to combat that force, they will reach failure much quicker.

—— —— ——

3️⃣ Poor hamstring flexibility

If the hammies have limited extensibility, forcefully pushing them into the end limits under tension, repeatedly, will cause a similar problem and result in failure. This is more of a cry to warmup before sport-related activities than it is a cry to stretch. You’re probably not so stiff that you can’t run… probably.

—— —— ——

⭐️ BONUS ⭐️ Previous hamstring strain

I didn’t mention this in the video BUT another big factor for muscle strain risk is having experienced a muscle strain in that same muscle group before. Even if you’ve rehabbed correctly, a previous strain does increase the likelihood that it will happen again.

⁉️So what can you do?

❗️The best way for people (especially athletes) to train this muscle group is a combination of concentric AND eccentric exercises. And to warmup properly before hitting you court or the field.
