Hamsting injuries can become a major issue for an athlete during the competitive season. These strains can become reoccuring issue if appropriate rehabilitation does not take place. While working as a clinical ATC at the collegiate level, I saw my fair share of athletes coming in from high school who had hamstring injures, and continued to have issues with them when they started their collegiate careers.
Juggernaut Training Systems posted an outstanding article and video on treating hamstring strains. In the past I have used many of these same principles while doing rehabilitation with athletes (esepecially the focus on the soft tissue techniques). One of the big issues with hamstring strains is the scar tissue that forms and needs to be remodeled appropriately; the video does a nice job of addressing this.

The crew at Juggernaut does a great job with their programming. I have purchased many of the ebooks on their site, and have always felt I have got my money’s worth.
