Hamstring injuries tend to be chronic in nature and thus require considerable recovery time in athletes. Although some rehabilitation protocols have been previously advocated, there is no consensus in terms of the treatment protocol for chronic hamstring injuries.
We present the case of a 15-year-old male sprinter who was successfully treated with a combination of manual therapy targeting the lumbosacral region and hamstring-specific exercises. The patient presented with hamstring pain which persisted for 7 weeks.
Manual therapy immediately reduced pain and increased muscle strength. The patient was able to run satisfactorily without pain 30 days after the initial intervention.
This case report suggests that the use of manual therapy targeting the lumbosacral region, along with hamstring exercises, may be beneficial in chronic hamstring pain management.
腘绳肌损伤往往具有慢性特征,因此运动员需要相当长的恢复时间。尽管之前已经提倡了一些康复方案,但在慢性腘绳肌损伤的治疗方案方面尚未达成共识。
我们介绍了一名 15 岁男性短跑运动员的病例,他成功地接受了针对腰骶部区域的手法治疗和腘绳肌特定运动相结合的治疗。该患者出现持续 7 周的腘绳肌疼痛。
手法治疗立即减轻了疼痛并增加了肌肉力量。初始干预后 30 天,患者能够无疼痛地满意跑步。
本病例报告表明,针对腰骶部区域的手法治疗结合腘绳肌运动可能有益于慢性腘绳肌疼痛的管理。
