Muscle & tendon pathway

High-speed recovery built to eliminate re-injury risk.

Hamstring strains are notoriously prone to recurrence when rehab ends at simple symptom relief. We address high-speed running demands, eccentric strength at long muscle lengths, and hip-pelvis mechanics.

Physiotherapy assessment and rehab for hamstring strain at COMM

Pelvic control and hip assessment at COMM

Typical pathway

Restore length, load eccentrically, sprint with confidence.

We combine targeted tendon & muscle loading with sprint kinematics to build robust, fatigue-resistant hamstrings.

✓Detailed muscle grading, tendon involvement & pelvic tilt screening

✓Lengthened-state eccentric loading (Nordic & RDL progressions)

✓Progressive sprint exposure and high-velocity deceleration drills

Rehabilitation pathway / Hamstring Strain

Five phases from first pull to full speed.

Hamstring strains re-injure when rehabilitation stops at pain relief. Tap a phase to see what it involves and what we are working towards.

Pain & Protection

Manage pain and swelling while maintaining comfortable movement.

PainSwelling

Mobility & Activation

Restore mobility and gradually activate the hamstrings and surrounding muscles.

MobilityActivation

Strength Development

Progressively load the hamstrings, glutes and calf muscles, including eccentric strengthening.

EccentricStrength

Running & Speed

Gradually progress from jogging to faster running and sprinting based on symptoms and strength.

JoggingSprinting

Return to Sport

Introduce sport-specific drills, acceleration, deceleration and change of direction before full return to play.
