HAMSTRING INJURY RECOVERY & REHAB
HAMSTRING INJURY
The hamstrings consist of three muscles – Biceps Femoris, Semimembranosus and Semitendinosus. Hamstring tears or strains, like all other soft tissue injuries, are graded on severity between 1 and 3.
RECOVERY TIMES
Recovery times for hamstring injuries can vary significantly, but are typically around two weeks for grade 1, three to four weeks for grade 2 and 10+ weeks for grade 3. Recovery for all hamstring injuries can be mitigated with effective use of a cooling, heating and compression device. Treating a hamstring injury quickly and effectively can optimise tissue healing and reduce the extent of the injury.
COOLING
Cooling is typically applied in the acute stage (up to 48-72 hours) to initially vasoconstrict and control the bleed, optimising the inflammation stage of healing. ProMOTION EV1’s cooling application can be set from 6 to 15 degrees – the optimal temperature range to apply. The addition of the compression wrap allows you to apply controlled intermittent (high to low) or static compression to tailor the optimal compression levels in response to the athlete/patient’s presentation.
CONTRAST
Contrast therapy is used when the inflammation is beginning to stop. Introducing heat can be helpful when the patient is moving into the remodelling stage of healing, to aid with the alignment and pliability of tissues to make them stronger. With ProMOTION EV1 you can set the heat to the optimal 38 – 40 degrees temperature range. Typically, this is done through hot/cold baths. However, with ProMOTION EV1 you don’t need water to apply the contrast therapy.
PORTABLE
ProMOTION EV1 can be used anywhere. It is fully portable and battery-operated. There is no need for ice, water or mains power. Portability and usability of effective therapy products is a concern amongst patients and athletes suffering from hamstring injuries
ProMOTION EV1 makes each therapy session easy and comfortable to complete, therefore making it easy to increase the number of therapy sessions which can be applied.

“The targeted effect of this product where we can isolate and cool and area really specific and localised has massive potential for not putting an athlete back on the pitch in a detrimental circumstance

I had a grade 2 hamstring tear. I used the ProMotion EV1 device during my rehab and felt it sped up my recovery. The convenience of the contrast therapy session was a huge benefit
