Injured? Here’s how early physio can help from home

Quick self-check:

• Did your hammy tighten suddenly when sprinting?
• Are you limping or unable to accelerate?
• Is bruising or pain getting worse after 24 hours?
• Are you unsure if you should rest, load, or get a scan?

If you answered yes to any of these, getting the injury grade assessed early can speed up recovery and reduce re-injury risk.

Why grading your hammy matters:

• Grade 1 (mild strain): small fibre damage, often 1–3 weeks to return if managed well.
• Grade 2 (partial tear): more pain and weakness, often 4–8 weeks recovery.
• Grade 3 (major tear/rupture): severe loss of function, often 2–4+ months and may need specialist review.

Correct grading helps you avoid returning too soon, re-tearing the hammy, and missing even more sport.

Don't gamble on your hammy — get expert next steps.

Hamstring injuries are easy to re-injure when you return too soon. Early grading helps avoid yo-yo recoveries.

You'll know what to do next: rest vs load, when to run, and when to seek scans or specialist care.
