Hey fellas,
I pulled my hamstring last Tuesday (Feb, 19th), but have a race in early March that I still want to compete in. The pull was a level 1. I'm walking fine now, but if I stretch deeply I can feel it. I've applied RICE, Chi Herbal Hamstring Recovery Wraps, and some light stretching.
What are some other recovery methods - and more importantly, some preventative strategies? I pulled my other hamstring in October too. I don't think it's a lack of strength; I can deadlift a ton, but maybe some built up scar tissue? Another thought: I don't think I raised my core temp high enough before I began my speed and power workout.
I'd really appreciate some feedback fellas!
Thanks.
