  • Prolonged Immobilization

    As soon as pain permits, it is important to begin a program of stretching and range-of-motion rehabilitation exercises because prolonged immobilization and inactivity results in muscle shrinkage (atrophy) and scar tissue (fibrosis). [medicinenet.com]

  • Inguinal Pain

    Past medical history may also be important since previous injury or arthritis of the back, hip, or knee can decrease the range of motion and flexibility of the muscles, causing the hamstring to become more prone to injury. [emedicinehealth.com]

    Arthritis, a chronic joint condition, may also cause knee pain. The first goal of treatment is to prevent the injury from becoming worse. A person can rest the tendon by avoiding repetitive activities, especially the activity that caused the injury. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Treatment Of Hamstring Injury The immediate treatment of a Hamstring muscle injury consists of the POLICE protocol – protect, optimal loading, ice, compression and elevation. [thephysiocompany.com]

The goal of treatment is to restore muscle function and prevent scar formation. Initially, treatment consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Rest refers to avoidance of offending activities and oftentimes includes immobilization. [medicinenet.com]
