Summer Vacation

Summer is almost here and many of us haven't figured out how we are going to spend it. I for one will be traveling home to the cool breeze, white sand beaches of Jamaica. But if I wasn't going to Jamaica I would probably be planning vacation in some exotic European city like, Amsterdam, Barcelona or Rome. Truth is, I have no family in either of those places so I would have to stay in a hotel. Fortunately easytobook.com offers reviews of hotels and tourist attractions not only in the aforementioned cities but also London and Prague.

The hotels are ranked on a five star system with five being the highest obtainable rating and one the lowest. On the front page features site specials on hotel rates, booking fees and outstanding hotel accommodations (Hotel of the month).

Still in the embryonic stages the site appears to be among the best in its field and can be viewed in 8 different languages. Additionally booking prices are available in three currencies: Euro, Pound and US dollars. The five star rating is accompanied by an in depth review on each hotel ranked out of ten which also gives a 360 degree picture of the hotel and its accommodations.

How to treat hamstring strains 101

So you probably ended up here because you either "strained" your hamstring, "pulled" it, "tweaked" it, "ruptured" it, busted it up or some other appropriate adjective or maybe you just landed here by chance. Whatever the reason may be, you've come to the right place for advice on how to treat and approach hamstring injuries.

How am I qualified to give advice on hamstring injuries? I've been a competitive sub-world class athlete (lol) for over ten years and I have been through the gauntlet of sport induced injuries.  Knee surgery, catscans, bone scans, muscle pulls, spasms, stress fractures - you name it, I've seen it! And if I haven't, I probably know people who have. Despite these injuries I have been able to patch myself up and get back into competitive shape.

Enough about me

How do hamstring injuries occur? I can't answer that question... google that!

How to treat hamstring injuries?

Assuming that you have already spoken with your physical therapist, doctor, orthopedist etc..

Your first line of treatment and step to getting back into shape will be for you to ice your hamstring for approximately 15minutes each time over the course of 48 hrs. For the first 24 hrs try to get five 15minute ice therapy treatments in. Depending on your general health, allergies etc, you may also want to take an anti-inflammatory tablet (maybe ibuprofen - see your doctor)Do the same for the next 24hrs.

After going through the rigors of ice treatment you should start applying heat to the area for about the same time, 15minutes 3 - 5 times a day. If you have access to physical therapy treatment its likely your therapist will administer ultrasound treatment which basically promotoes blood flow to the injured area.

Depending on the severity of the injury you should start doing light stretching and excercises to increase mobility and strength. (See your doctor).
