Happy Saturday, everyone!
Today, we’re going to talk about hamstring injuries. They take a very long time to heal and If not taken care of properly, they may never recover at 💯. They will scar over, lose its flexibility, and can potentially impact the low back. We have a professional soccer player from Germany who came all the way to US and me to take care of her injured hamstring. After 6 sessions of PT in conjunction with Dry Needling , she made 80% of progress and on the way to full recovery 🧡! Call us for appointments, early intervention is the key!
