Purpose: Strengthen the hamstrings muscles without having to move the knee. Starting Position: Sit in a chair with your heel against the leg of the chair and your feet firmly on the floor. Action: Press your heel firmly backwards into the chair leg feeling the back of your thigh tightening/clenching.
Heat can be applied for 20 minutes at a time once a day to really warm the muscle up and stimulate blood flow. This should be continued until the athlete is back to full fitness and has completed the other 3 elements of hamstring rehab which are: 1  Strengthening. 2  Stretching.
