Physical therapy for Grade I - II Hamstring Strain (partial tear).

The protocol is to do physical therapy every other day i.e. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, etc. Start with 3 sets of 10 repetitions without weights for the first three sessions. Then on session #4-#9, do 3 sets of 12 repetitions. On session #10-#12, do 3 sets of 14 repetitions. The Hamstring Stretch and the Calf Stretch is to be done at 2 sets of 3 repetitions, holding 30 seconds. Do the strengthening and ROM (Range of Motion) at tolerance, meaning, do not push yourself or go beyond the point of pain. You should feel a "stretch" when doing stretching exercises but not pain. If the exercises become too easy by session #6, let me know and I'll add ankle weights to your PT program. The main function of the Hamstring muscles is to bend the knee AND to extend the hip. A perfect example of hip extension is changing from a sitting position to a standing position.
