Hamstring Injury Chris Arrigo, MS, ATC, PT, Cert-DN Advanced Rehabilitation Those long Saturday training runs are getting longer. That goal race is getting closer. But there is a nagging pull in the back of your thigh. If this sounds familiar, it is not something to overlook. Your hamstring muscles may be trying to warn you that a problem is developing.

One that should never be ignored.

The hamstrings are an important muscle group when running. The main function of the hamstrings is to bend the knee and extend the hip. In running, the hamstrings act as a propeller to move your body forward. When the hamstrings are unable to fully do their job, they can be susceptible to injury. But, before we talk about hamstring injuries, it is important to first understand their anatomy.

Anatomy The hamstrings are a group of three muscles located on the back of your thigh. All three of the muscles originate at one spot, the ischial tuberosity which is also known as your “sit bones,” because these are the bony prominences that you feel when you are sitting. The semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles insert on the media condyleofthe tibia on the inside of the knee , while the biceps femoris inserts on the outside of the knee at the head of fibula.

Injury There are a wide variety of hamstring injuries that differ by severity, location, and symptoms. Symptoms of a hamstring injury may include pain on the back of the thigh, lower buttock, or behind the knee; tightness in the back of the thigh; a sudden “pop” while running; and bruising or tenderness.

The most common hamstring injury among distance runners is a proximal hamstring strain, which is located on or near the origin of the hamstrings at the ischial tuberosity.

Unfortunately, proximal hamstring strains can take a long time to heal. However, modalities, strengthening, stretching and dry needling can help improve symptoms and keep you on the road, trail, or treadmill. flraceplace.com

May/June

Prevention Hamstring tightness is one of the main factors contributing to hamstring injuries, either as a primary cause or as the result of an injury. One way to prevent hamstring injuries is to stretch your hamstrings after your dynamic warm-up, but prior to running. This will allow the muscle to warm and loosen up before being stressed.

One effective hamstring stretch, involved lying on your back, placing your hands behind your thigh and bringing your leg towards your chest, as pictured to the right. Then, slowly straighten your knee until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. When you feel the stretch, hold the position for 15-30 seconds. Relax, by bending the knee, then perform that same stretch 3-7 more times. Make sure you repeat this on the other leg.

Hamstring weakness is another factor contributing to hamstring injuries. When there are strength imbalances in the body, the body will not be able to mechanically work the way it should. When muscles are strengthened and balanced, the body will be able to run more efficiently.

One example of a hamstring strengthening exercise is an RDL or “grab-a-pens.” To perform, place a target, such as a pen, on the floor. Stand a couple feet behind the pen, as pictured on the left. Then, balance on one leg and place the opposite arm straight up in the air. Slowly bend forward on the standing leg while keeping the knee straight. Bend towards your target, trying to grab the pen, until you can’t go any further, or until you are about to lose your balance.

Then slowly come back up. It is important to take your time going in both directions, as this exercise strengthens the hamstrings concentrically and eccentrically. Work up to performing 2-3 sets 0f 20-25 of these on each leg.

When you hear a discussion between friends or acquaintances who are not cyclists, here are some appropriate and legal answers, for when there is a sign with a picture of a bicycle and verbiage saying: May use full lane; as well as when sharrows are painted in the roadway (a bicycle with two chevrons above it).

1. To avoid the door of a parked car opening into the cyclist without warning; 2. To avoid glass/and/or dangerous debris on the shoulder or in the bike lane; 3. To alert you to use the adjacent lane to pass because the lane is too narrow for both; 4. To give you more time and distance to prepare to slow or pass safely; 5. To improve the cyclist’s vantage and safety margin to hazards ahead; 6. To ride on the sidewalk is impractical, unsafe, and often illegal; 7. To share the road by using only one lane, just like the motorist; 8. To prepare for a left turn, moving over one lane at a time instead of swerving across the entire road; 9. It’s the safest place to be and the cyclist has the legal right to be there.

These tips are from Bicycists belong in the traffic Lane as a public service announcement. Be safe out there!

If You Are Running In Pain You Need a Change Gene Ulishney, BS HPE, CPED, BOCPED, ACSM MEMBER

Pain is not an inevitable result of running, but is most likely a result of altered, abnormal biomechanics caused by incorrect or poor performing running shoes for your specific needs.

Running is one of the oldest and most natural movements the human body can perform.

In recent history and with the advent of modern man’s unforgiving and hard surfaces, running shoes have replaced the soft grassy plains of the past. These specially designed shoes soften the blow under foot and can absorb a considerable amount of injury-causing impact. But, if not designed properly or fitted properly, these same shoes can also be the cause of pain and injury.

Today, the primary causes of footwear-related running pain and injuries are: too stiff, too soft, too much control, too little control, wrong shape and too old and worn out.

By too stiff I mean a shoe that is not flexible enough in the forefoot and not flexing in the proper place to accommodate the biomechanics of most feet placed inside it. A proper running shoe must begin flexing easily and specifically behind its widest point, at the balls of the foot, and then continues rolling through toe-off. It is what I like to call “flex and roll”. This action ensures proper shoe mechanics matching the biomechanics of the vast majority of runners. Ignoring this most important footwear quality will inevitably result in pain and overuse injuries. The chances of issues arising are directly related to intensity and the distance run. Neutral gaits may have lateral foot, knee, leg, and/or adductor/internal rotator issues. Overpronators may experience heel pain, shin, knee, medial leg and ankle, and other abductor/external rotator annoyances.

A shoe that is too soft is inherently less stable and wears out sooner. It will also stress the structures of the body by having the effect of “running in sand”. You will work harder and you will be slower. With each step, soft shoes take longer to compress and longer to return, resulting in more time being spent on the ground. Other effects include less efficiency, and excess motion, which may cause a variety of pains and possible injury.

Shoes with too much control for your gait risk injury to the lateral foot, ankle, knee and lateral side of the leg such as IT Band pain as well as pain in the adductor/internal rotator groups of muscles and tendons and long term, medial meniscus wear.

Shoes with too little control risk injury to the plantar fascia, knee, inside leg and the abductor/external rotator groups of muscles and tendons and lateral meniscus wear.

And lastly, the wrong shape shoe is the main cause of rubbing and blistering. These seemingly small issues can result in more serious problems due to usually unnoticed gait changes to avoid such painful areas.

Some points to keep in mind: all running shoes are not created equal; pain is not an unavoidable result of running; and persistent pain means you need a change. Before it gets the best of you, see your local running store for a gait and footwear reevaluation.
