| Popis: | Introduction 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. Methods 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. Results Manual therapy immediately reduced pain and increased muscle strength. The patient was able to run satisfactorily without pain 30 days after the initial intervention. Conclusions 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. |
