Hey guys I injured my right hamstring this past Sunday performing my second RP set of standing leg curls. I have been to see an Ortho, got a MRI, and go back later today to see what kind of treatment he wants to perscribe. The MRI results read as follows:
- There is a low to intermediate grade partial tear of the vastus lateralis muscle and two associated small intramuscular hematomas.
- Partial tears of the short and long heads of the biceps femoris muscle and minimal adjacent hemorrahage and/or edema.
I assume he is going to perscribe PT for this injury and was wondering what you guys would suggest to assist in the recovery. I would like very much for this to heal in a way to help prevent any reinjury as well as correct any deformities. I know I am asking a lot, but what would give me the best chance at generating some hyperplasia and preventing excessive development of scar tissue?
