How do you heal a hamstring pull?

Firstly rest it.

It will take on average 3 weeks t be back in normal sporting activity. When first pulled or torn. Ice packs placed on the area then replaced with a warm pack (not hot). warm massage - This will be a liitle uncomforatble in the early days of the injury. - When the pain eases following the massage period start doing very light stretching routines. There will be iscomfort doing this until the muscle continues the healing process, still use hot/cold packs to help the recovery process. When the muscle feels comfortable start increasing the stretches, this can include moving up and down steps (this is where the pain will be noted as well as bending)
