Hamstring Tear
Hamstring tears are one of the most common injuries in soccer and football, accounting for 37% of all injuries. The recurrence rate is also high, ranging from 12-33%. Several factors increase the risk of a injury, including age, player position, previous injuries, muscle architecture, fatigue, flexibility, core stability, and strength.
The highest risk factor is acceleration or high-speed running, which accounts for 53% of cases. The faster the running speed, the greater the force on the hamstrings.
The average recovery time from a hamstring injury ranges from 17 to 90 days. At Recover Strong Physiotherapy located in Reservoir, Fawkner, Lalor, and Thomastown, our Sports Physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the hamstring injury which covers:
- the severity of the injury
- when is it safe to start exercising
- provide a progressive treatment plan
- conduct return to sports testing
