This program will outline a gradual progression of mobility and muscle control. All movements are not right for everyone and if you find that any of these movements are causing significant pain, either try to do that movement more gently or skip that option all together. I always ask patients to recognize if they feel like something is doing more harm then good.
If you feel pulling, tightness, or fatigue: those are typically positive sensation that you are stressing the area but not causing harm to it
If you have some pain or soreness and that sensation goes away when you are done with the movement or goes away within 24 hours and is not incredibly severe, that is also acceptable
If you feel pain that is moderate to severe and you feel in your mind that this may cause significant pain afterwards or you have significant pain soreness for greater then 24 hours then that movement was not helpful
Either do a lesser version of that movement: don’t go as far, don’t push as hard, don’t do as many….or stop with that movement all together
Taping Option to offload the hamstring with RockTape or KT Tape
