One tight hamstring / glute - Injured or in need of a stretch?

mathie

Hi

My left hamstring / glute is sore. It feels more like the glute.
I'm note sure if its injured or needs stretching.

If I'm walking along I'm fine but if I raise my leg to walk up from the road to a path (not a massive step!) I can feel it sore.

Any exercises / tips I can use?

Thanks
M

medical advice is against the charter, so I won't give any. I'll just say I have had similar-sounding symptoms for 5 weeks or so. Have stretched, rolled, exercised etc & have finally decided it's not going away, so I'm seeing a physio today. My only advice would be if something persists, get it looked at. maybe sooner than I did!

We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible. This restriction is Boards-wide and purposely heavy-handed. So don't feel offended if your thread about a sprained ankle (which you may deem "non-medical") gets locked.
