Hamstring strenghtening

[Mischievousjoe]

If I were you I'd defnitley give it a shot before surgery, surgery creeps me out though. I find a few sets of dumbell lunges gives my whole leg a pretty good burn, including the hamstrings. Squart will work them on the negative too.

Hi guys - just a quickie.

Have got my first physio session in the morning and my surgeon told me that I may be able to put off having reconstructive surgery on my cruciate ligament by strenghtening my hamstring? Does this sound plausable to you know it alls? x

I go up on my tiptoes, hold for 5 seconds, and slowly back down.

Bushido man I will let you off - I have done it often enough

Kez he was ok - no Sawyer though!!!

He gave me a few exercises such as standing on my stairs with my bad leg and slowly bending it up and down. He says its all about control really, as at the moment I tend to walk etc quickly to avoid the pain.
