🧠 Pain doesn’t always mean something is “broken.”

Sometimes it’s your brain’s way of keeping you safe!

Early stage hamstring strain rehab!🏋️🦵

When dealing with acute hamstring strains, we need to ease into rehab in a way that can help begin strengthening the muscles without too much pain ➡️ enter ✨isometrics! ✨ (slide 2)

👉Isometrics are muscle contractions without movement: think of the way a plank works your abs without a crunch motion.

🦵Once the muscles can handle isometrics without pain, we can begin to work into strengthening with movement — concentric (muscle shortening) and eccentric (controlled muscle lengthening) directions (slide 3).

We start with smaller ranges of motion to avoid overstretching the injured muscle, and work into larger ranges and heavier weights as the injury heals.

Finally, once the muscle can handle slow strengthening, we can progress to faster movements such as running, jumping, and return to sport! 🏃‍♀️

🏃‍♂️💥 Meet the iliopsoas — your hip’s hidden powerhouse!

This deep muscle group (made up of the psoas major and iliacus) is key for hip flexion, trunk stability, and smooth movement when walking, running, or climbing stairs. But when it’s tight, overworked, or weak, it can cause big problems — think low back pain, hip tightness, or even anterior pelvic tilt.

🎯 Common culprits? Prolonged sitting, poor posture, or imbalanced training routines.

💡 A well-functioning iliopsoas = better posture, core control, and mobility.

✅ PT Tip: Stretch it, strengthen it, and don’t forget to move often!
