Physio-
I went to the Physio after work and got my hamstring examined. I thought they were going to do scans and massaging etc. but it was different then I expected. The physio asked me about how I injured it and took some notes down on his computer. He then got me to lie down on the massage table and got me to lay down on my back and stomach in a few different positions testing the flexibility of both legs and then the strength of my legs.
After that we went to the gym and he showed me a few exercises that he wants me to do every couple of days. The exercises were romanian deadlifts, hip thrusts, calf raises, squats, and another exercise where you bend over with a DB and stretch your leg back and up. He also wants me to do some running and said he'll email the program to me.
After the gym I asked if there was any stretches he wanted me to do but he said that the literature isn't supportive of stretches and the gym work will be adequate. I asked about the massage and he said when I come back in a couple of weeks he can do some.
I have a rugby league tournament on the 27th of October so I'm hoping that I will be able to play in it but he said it's unlikely as it will probably take 6 weeks to recover and I should focus on the off-season for next year.
