Hamstring Injury Rehabilitation in the Female Athlete. A Clinical Case

Abstract

Hamstring injury is a common sports injury in the female athlete. Both rehabilitation and preventive measures are crucial but not standardized yet. In this article we present a female athlete with a fresh hamstring injury which was treated with both physiotherapeutic treatment as well as with regional sugar water injections into the muscular lesion. The goal of this paper is to share this experience with other physical therapists and sports doctors. This case is also an invitation to the medical community to design randomized trials to confirm our clinical experience with this dual management.
