Foam rolling injured hamstring?
Hello all 🙂
I've injured my hamstring about two months ago during a too intense stretching session. I limped for about a week and a half afterwards. Now I don't feel my hamstring during my daily activities, but I do feel it when I stretch, so I try to work gently with it.
I wanted to know whether it is OK to foam roll the muscle before stretching it, or it could aggravate the injury at this stage.

When I injured mine the only thing that helped me to walk was to get a deep tissue massage. I do not see how this could harm, but I also am not a doctor.

I did the same thing practicing for splits.
For me it was only rest that healed it completely. For months it was only a niggle, not enough to stop me exercising but it just wasn’t going away. And would really hurt if I tried to stretch it. A couple of weeks of more less complete rest, certainly nothing high impact, and it was fine. -
Foam rolling can be amazing for muscle strains!
