Hamstring Treatment

If the sciatic nerve is involved there are specific manual therapy techniques only physiotherapists can provide to release the muscle and nerve.

If the injury does not involve the sciatic nerve or lower back, commencing a carefully graded strengthening and stretching program is critical to regaining full function and prevent recurrent strains.
