Repost via: @mikestella_atc ROCKTAPE FOR ACUTE HAMSTRING STRAINS
_
There’s nothing worse than a fresh hammy strain. Athlete’s know it. We know it. Its gonna be a while before competition again. But there is some really cool $h!t we can do early on in the process that can help shave off some time. @rocktape is definitely one of them.
_
Pro Tips:
1️⃣ EARLY INTERVENTION: Client education is key. Instinctually, since a fresh hammy strain “feels tight” the first thing you see is an athlete try to “stretch it out”. For a fresh strain, that’s the opposite of what we want. Let’s work on pain free movements instead to keep the heart rate going and the blood moving!
2️⃣ HEALING ENVIRONMENT: Listen, our bodies are good at this. There isn’t anything we can do that’s going to dramatically change the millennia of evolution that went into our bodies design. Our job is to AUGMENT the bodies natural process and manage early injury pain. Tape is a great adjunct for both of these things.
3️⃣ LYMPH BABY LYMPH: In order for our bodies to continually deliver fresh oxygen and nutrients to the injury site, we have to make sure the clean up crew can evacuate the waste. Again, the decompression effect of the tape can help off load our lymphatic vessels, thus aiding or bodies resolution of the nasties that can build up in tissue after active trauma.
_
So there you have it. An easy, effective pain mitigating, lymph clearing, feel good powerhouse that takes a couple minutes worth of time that can help our athletes recover even if they aren’t on the table.
Groin Strain
——-
Muscle strains are common in sports. Rehabbing them can be tricky depending on the severity level. In short, the idea is to gradually restore the ability of the hamstring to take on load. Reintroducing pain free strengthening exercises is the key and then functional tasks like jogging, running, decelerating and cutting. I personally believe stress management is important and not pushing the hamstring too much. This is where the rehab gets difficult because making the session challenging is key but not pushing beyond the tipping point of re-injury.
——-
Groin injuries are fairly common in field hockey just based on the nature of the movements. The Copenhagen’s are a challenging and more advanced adductor exercise that can be used to improve adductor strength. Additionally, they’re good for healthy players to do for injury reduction. We are doing a modified Copenhagen where here bottom foot is on the ground for increased support.

I don’t have either heat nor ice in my solo private practice, as I feel my time and my patients time is better spent doing active movement and exercises.
.
But I do get this question a lot about things patients can do at home on their own time to make them feel better - if they feel like it does make them feel better (patient preference based on previous experiences does play a role afterall).
.
Here’s a little summary by @activeathletictraining that covers the traditional thought process, although new evidence suggests neither does much in terms of tissue healing.

Why & When to Ice vs Heat

❄️Ice is used for acute injuries. If you have a recent injury within the last 48 hours or so, you should most likely ice. The inflammatory process is totally normal, healthy, and needed to repair the damaged tissue.
_ ❄️Sometimes the body will overreact to the injury and send more blood to the area than is needed causing more pain and swelling. This is when icing during this phase is so important. You will still have swelling but it will be reduced so your body can still heal the tissue and you can recover faster while reducing pain.
_
_ ❄️ There are some Healthcare professionals out there that don't believe in ice at all. They believe it's disrupting the inflammatory process that's needed for the injury to heal.

DON'T MAKE THIS STRETCHING MISTAKE!
.
Everyone has felt tightness in their hamstrings at one point or another and attempted to stretch it out. Unfortunately, most of us have been doing it wrong our whole lives, just getting a stretch in the back of the knee and having never felt a real hamstring stretch.
.
Well...good news. That's all about to change.
.
There are 3 points you have to hit. First, start with the knee bent. Second, anteriorly tilt the pelvis. And lastly, pull your butt backwards while you fold forward at the waist.
.
If you are feeling the stretch behind the knee, that is more likely the ⚡sciatic nerve that is being tensioned, not the muscle, which could be one explanation why so many of you stretch and stretch your hamstrings with little improvement. Try this quick modification and say hello to a true hamstring stretch.

Tag a friend with tight hamstrings and share the wealth!

Groin Strain Rehab
———
Muscle strains can be challenging to rehab. The keys are to gradual load the muscle and stress management. Finding exercises that promote pain free groin activation is key. I want to make sure I continuously challenge the groin in different ways.
———
This is a more advanced groin/adductor strengthening exercise. This one is challenging because you’re putting the muscle on stretch with tension which usually will cause pain to a strained muscle.
1️⃣ Tall kneeling groin sliders - made up name, oh well. Taught to me by @strengthcoachtherapy. We’re using a Sorinex glute/hamstring roller and a band to make the exercise even more difficult. This allows us to work on both eccentric and concentric control. I cued her to slide out to tolerance and then pull back to the start position.

Hamstring Rehab
——-
This is a higher level hamstring exercise that I use in the late stages of hamstring strain rehab. This should only be done when the patients exhibit proper tolerance to moderate level exercises. The reason why this exercise is so challenging because of the hamstring being on stretch. Muscle strains have a hard time recovering when the muscle is on stretch and contracting. Here we’re using the @flexdiscfit in a half kneeling position to work on the hamstring in a stretched position. I’m having him eccentrically straighten and pull back against the resistance of the disc.
