Exercise <\/a>is usually what causes a pulled hamstring in the first place, and it’s recommended that you avoid any and all forms of exercise for at least the first few weeks to months after the injury has taken place if you want it to heal in the right way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut once the injury has healed \u2013 usually a few months after \u2013 it’s time to get back to building strength. Water therapy is one of the best ways (as mentioned earlier in this article), but it’s luckily not the only way to approach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a pulled hamstring, start with very moderate exercise several months into the injury’s healing \u2013 and by moderate, it really does mean moderate. Don’t push yourself further or try to break new records. All you’re trying to do here is build some added strength after healing a muscle that’s still pretty fragile right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consult a personal trainer if you aren’t sure how to approach this.
