Dear MendMeShop,

My surgery was much more invasive than indicated by the MRI. I had 4 procedures done on my shoulder. I adore my ultrasound! My husband adores it as well, as he really knows he is helping me. It is most helpful when we use it right before I try to sleep. As everyone who has had shoulder injuries knows, lying down increases the pain to an intolerable degree. Using the ultrasound allows me to get some rest and I am able to easily perform the treatment myself. Quite ironically my best friend had a surgery at the same time as myself. We both are filled with so much metal we cannot go through detectors at the airport. She is now able to drive and while here yesterday I gave her a treatment on her neck. She was amazed with how much it helped her. I felt simply wonderful to help yet another person with their pain. I know this device will be used often and for many people. My mother is 91 and has aches and pains occasionally. With the ultrasound so easy to transport, I will be able to take it to her assisted care facility and help her as well. I cannot thank you enough for offering such a crucial and importantly helpful product. I will be sure to tell everyone who need such relief to contact you. Your speedy response was amazing as well!

Preventing Hamstring Injuries

It is always better to prevent hamstring injuries rather than try to fix them after they happen, however that is not always the situation. A pulled hamstring can be difficult to prevent as your major symptoms may start long after you've had the condition. In any case, there are a number of things you can do to keep yourself healthy and prevent further damage.

Correct posture will keep your body strong.

Maintain a strong and proper posture, and wear proper footwear and gear for your activity. This will ensure your body is properly aligned, and will prevent against slouching or bad form which will make you more prone to injury. Your equipment should be comfortable and provide enough padding (knee or thigh pads), and your shoes should provide sufficient sole stiffness and arch support.

Avoid doing too much to soon to give your body an opportunity to build up its endurance. This is especially important when participating in a new activity. Gradually increase your participation to prevent overstraining your muscles.

Always warm up your muscles (especially your leg muscles) before working them to prepare your body and to raise your body temperature (15-20 minutes is the recommended time). Recovery from your activity can be enhanced by doing a Always warm up your muscles (especially your leg muscles) before working them to prepare your body and to raise your body temperature (15-20 minutes is the recommended time). Recovery from your activity can be enhanced by doing a cool down to lower your body temperature and relax your muscles.

Strengthen your muscles with physical exercise.

Always learn the proper form and techniques for your activity to help prevent injuries.

If you are suffering from hamstring pain, listen to your body and decrease, modify and/or avoid any activities or motions that cause pain and irritation (quick stopping/starting, turning, running or jumping, as well as participating on uneven terrain). Also, train on a variety of surfaces. If you are required to perform these motions at work or play and cannot avoid them, make sure you take frequent breaks and rest to prevent fatigue and pain.

Hamstring lunges will help build up strength

To stabilize your hamstring and leg area, and increase your range of motion, maintain and build your strength, stability and flexibility of your hamstring, leg, gluteal, pelvis, low back and core body muscles. Light weights, exercise bands and balls are very beneficial for strengthening your lower body. Procioceptive training (core balance training) and plyometrics (exercises to develop strength, speed and agility, such as jumping or bounding movements) are also an excellent addition to your exercise routine. Yoga, tai chi, or a daily stretching routine will help to keep your muscles and joints supple (avoid sudden twisting and turning motions).

A regular exercise program that focuses on total body fitness and includes low-impact aerobic activity at least 3 days per week, such as walking, swimming or biking will help to keep you healthy overall and will strengthen your body to prevent against further hamstring injuries

Healthy Foods

Proper food and fluid intake prior to and/or during activities will ensure you have enough energy and will help to prevent against fatigue. Ensure you avoid dehydration which can lead to muscle cramping. Weight loss and/or weight maintenance involves eating a balanced diet full of protein, complex carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants which will help support a healthy system. If you gain just 10 pounds, your joints must bear from 25 up to 100 pounds extra, which can add unnecessary stress to your body. Limiting your caffeine, alcohol and nicotine consumption will also improve your health.

MendMeShop

Ultrasound therapy can be performed at home with a portable ultrasound device. If you have symptoms or are recovering from a hamstring injury, using ultrasound on a regular basis before your activity or throughout the day will help relax your hamstring muscles, tendons and tissues, and prepare you for action, reduce scar tissue, and help diminish pain and inflammation.
