Practice tonight.

I’m thinking with this new system on my upper days the “conditioning” at the end will be med ball work with a dynamic warm-up, mobility drills and some easy tempo.

I need to keep my hips healthy and help them recover.

Played our second season game today and we won handily, but unfortunelately I kinda tore/strained my hamstring.

Im so pissed about this because I really focused on my PC this winter. But I do have really tight external rotators of the hip on the left side (the side my hammy went) and I have a weaker left side.

So in my come back I will take this more seriously instead of making it a lower level priority.

By the way I was running and changing direction and picked up my pace a bit and just felt a pop on the outside of my hammy mid way up, any suggestions for how to deal with this are welcome.

BM and Kelly ring in please. PLEASE.

Hey
Sorry about your hamstring, I pulled mine badly over a year ago in a football game, and it took forever to bring it up too speed again. One of the main reasons for this was I thought it felt ok in practice, increased the tempo in a game and same thing all over again.
So my first peice of advice would be to let it heal completley before playing again.
Secondly, I recall reading a Q&A by Charlie Francis on here in which he states that therapy that is administered manually is better for the hamstrings then if it is done by a machine. Once I started going to a chiropractor to recieve ART treatments my Hamnstring began healing much better (I was recieving Stim at another place).
Lastly, along with making hamsting strength as well as overall flexibility a priority, I think that by getting adjusted properly by my chiropractor and keeping myself aligned, especially in the lumbar region helped to prevent any further ailments.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Have you been to a doctor and if you have how bad did they say it was…are you out for a extended period of time…if not i would get to rehabing it as soon as possibile…if its a mild pull keep it filled with tons of blood…give me more info??..bm

Getting it checked out tomorrow.

It feels a lot better now but is far from perfect, I will see how bad it is tomorrow and start doing what I can with it.

Got a quick assesment today by our At at the university.

He said it is most likely a 2nd degree sprain of my biceps femoris muscle.

I have an appointment with him on Wednesday to look at it more closely and get some treatement done.

For now he said I can do light exercise (biking, walking) to get some blood in it and some conservative stretching.

Jordan

do u have any bands?

No.

But I might be able to get some of the therabands form the clinic.

I know that they’re not the same but if I use a few I could get enough tension of some band leg curls I’m sure.

I might try and get some bands soon though.

I have healed soem hamstring tears in a few days wiht high rep band good monrings in a shower or hot tub…in fact i once felt liek i ripped my hammie did over a thousand reps of band gm’s in a 108 degree hot tub and squated a pr 2 days later…band leg curls for high reps are great also…bm

I practiced today and my hammy felt OK, it wasn’t 100% but i could run pretty well.

At this point I was thinking I was a maybe for my game on Saturday. Planned to reassess on Wednesday.

Wednesday, June 09, 2004

Did and extended dynamic warm-up and stretches.

Then did 10 x 60M at about 70%.

My hammy is definitely not ready to play this weekend. It felt OK but not excellent
