History:

He explained to me he had pulled his hamstring in a game about 2 weeks ago. 

He had been doing PT and seeing the NFL's massage therapist, but things weren't going well. He thought they might sideline him for the rest of the season.  

​

The Technique:

I called this technique the hammy chisel. 

I would find scar tissue that needed to be broken up, then using my elbow to dig deep into the tissue, I would sliding my elbow back and forth ever so slightly to break the scar tissue up. 

​

Education:

He was already still seeing the NFL's Physical Therapist, so as not to over- treat him, he did not do any extra at- home stretches, etc. 

The Results:

Great!  Each massage his hamstring got better and better. After 6 weeks he was back playing.
