Sports Massage for Hamstring Injuries: Part 2

Video Transcript

"ALEXSON ROY: So now, what we're going to do is we're going to do streams, okay? We grab the belly. We've kind of created some blood, oxygen and all that stuff going on. So now, what we're going to do is we're going to give it somewhere to go, okay? Everything back to the heart, always move back up, okay? And once again--but this time we can go from tendon up. The problem with not really massaging the tendon is there's not too much blood inside of the tendon. So we really, really want to focus on the part where all the blood and oxygen and fibers and all that stuff are, so. But we can start there, okay? And then whatever's in there, kinda bring it up towards the belly of the muscle and then bring it right up back towards the heart. So you can start in the middle if you want to, you can start on the side but just stay right along the belly of that hamstring, okay? And then you can do maybe faster and create a little friction in there, or you can just do it slow and put pressure, or do it fast or do it slow. There you go. So the next one we're going to focus on is--we're going to focus on shins, okay? Go on soccer-related issues."
