hamstring tightness and pain
Quote | Reply
Just wanted to know who else has had a hamstring get really tight. It now has tightness sometimes when I ride and then on my run. But mostly a few hours, days after my workout. Most of the pain is in the hamstring behind the knee. Once it loosens up I feel ok. I ice the hamstring and stretch it. Any suggestions of what to do or not to do or what type of injury it might be would be helpful. Thanks in advance.]

An alternative stretch I've found is shown at http://physicaltherapy.about.com/...weekly/aa031201g.htm. It will tell you to hold for 30 to 60 secionds, but I go for three minutes. It cleaned up a really bad situation in my running two years, and I continue to use it. Recently, I've had some hamstring tightness and aches on my road bike. It went away when I raised the saddle after an extensive fit session while buying a tri-bike. Yeah - defies conventional wisdom, doesn't it? FWIW.
