Hamstring Re-Injury Recovery The MendMeShop ultrasound device I bought has been a great purchase...well worth the money. The ultrasound gel seems so much better than the gel they use at the physical therapy or chiropractic offices. I initially bought the ultrasound device for an Achilles problem, and that was taken care of within 3 weeks. I am a runner who competes in races ranging from a mile to the marathon distance and competes in duathlons and triathlons. In January of 2008 I had a severe injury of my hamstring. I took it easy, iced, and waited for the pain to go away (at this point I had not heard about a home ultrasound device.) I was able to continue running after the pain lessened, but my range of motion was limited. My right leg was tight because of the hamstring injury. In May of 2008 I was running in a boot camp class and re-injured the hamstring. An MRI showed a right hamstring strain and extensive bursitis of the right hip. I began using the ultrasound device 3 times a day and I can say that my hamstring and hip are pain free. I have not had this much flexibility/range of motion in my right leg for over a year and a half. B. Doubeck Rating: Inferno Wrap - Flexible and Comfortable I wanted to get back to you with feedback about the Inferno Wrap. So far we are very pleased with the size, light weight, flexibility and comfort of the wrap. Everything about this new product seems more intelligent and user friendly. A lot of thought was put into improving on the old product. Well done to all involved!!! R. Page, Rating: Quality Medical Products That Work I am a runner and have been injured the last two months with a leg tendon injury. I purchased both the ultra sound and the leg inferno wrap about three weeks ago. I am now seeing great results where presently I can jog easy on it. So I am making progress. I will continue using both products as I suspect I will continue seeing results where I can race again. Dennis M. Rating: My Knee Is Feeling Much Better My husband, Luke accidentally twisted his leg and injured his hip, for about 2 weeks he tried hot & cold compression, pain medications & massages nothing helped. He read a medical news letter about alternative treatment using ultrasound. By searching Google, he located your company. He purchased the ultrasound and used 3 times a day for one week and his pain is completely gone. Now I am using it to treat my osteoarthritis knee and also feel much better. L. Chiu Rating: Professional Trainer Recommends... I have been a professional trainer for over 25 years with some of the top professional athletes from around the globe and I am always seeking for the best products to help with their injuries and injury preventative treatments. Since I have tried the MendMeShop products on my clients, pro-athletes and on my own injuries I can definitely recommend these products to be the best solution for all acute and chronic injuries as well as for prevention of injuries. In my opinion, the Freezie wraps, Inferno wraps and the ultrasound are essential for all physical training facilities such as gyms to physical therapy offices and even in sports training rooms of all high schools and colleges. MendMeShop products are easy to use on all types of injuries and can easily be self administered as I get my athletes or clients to do on a day to day basis. My athletes, my clients and I thank MendMeShop for developing such great products as we have all benefited from them! MAK TAKANO, Rating: Lower Back Pain Radiated to Left Side Hip and Leg Two years ago, after returning to the gym for the first time in over a decade, I developed intense lower back pain which radiated into my left hip and leg. I also developed snapping hip syndrome. After many expensive visits to a chiropractor and physical therapist, I gained some relief, but still experienced constant low level pain in the injured areas with episodes of intense debilitating pain which interfered with my sleep and work. After searching online for alternative and cost effective self treatment methods, I discovered your website and purchased your Ultrasound Therapy System, Back/Hip Inferno Wrap and Back/Hip Freezie Wrap. Within a short period of time of using these three products, I noticed a huge reduction in pain. Two months later, the pain is barely noticeable, the snapping hip syndrome is an unpleasant memory and I feel that significant long term healing of chronic injuries is taking place. I absolutely LOVE your products, and enthusiastically recommend them to everyone I meet who is experiencing similar pain issues. Kudos to Paul and everyone in your customer service department which is beyond compare in terms of knowledge, promptness and genuine concern for your customers! Stephen Rating: | Hamstring Treatments and InformationProfessionals Have Been Using These Tools To Heal Hamstring Injuries and Treat Pain for Years... It Is Now Possible To:
...but only if you treat your injury correctly!![]() There are options for a superior level of treatment for hamstring injuries as well as hip, thigh and leg pain. Would you like to get back to your regular activities by healing incredibly fast and significantly reducing your hamstring pain? For years, professional athletes have had access to treatment methods that allow them to heal much more quickly and more completely than you or I. That is why injured athletes are often back in the game in a matter of weeks, while you could suffer for months or even years. Times have changed - Professional Grade therapeutic devices are now available for anyone that needs them! For sufferers of Hamstring Injuries, it is not necessary to face months of reduced mobility (sometimes years in cases of reinjury). Athletes with the same injuries as the general public heal their injury quickly while the typical person's injury often becomes chronic, lingering on for so long that they cannot remember what life was like before their injury. With proper treatment, anyone can heal an injured hamstring fast and significantly reduce the pain associated with the injury. Dear MendMeShop, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your help in getting me set up with the right treatments for my injured leg. My hamstring has been plaguing me for months and I had gone from running 7 miles per day to barely being able to climb the front stairs to my home. I found your site excellent. It was very informative and easy to read. When I called your customer service people I found that Paul was really knowlegeable on all your products and he was excellent in helping me pick out the right items for my injury. It was really nice to talk to someone who cared and not just an order taker. I got the Ultimate Hamstring Kit [Leg Inferno Wrap, Leg Freezie Wrap, MendMeShop Ultrasound Device] and it certainly has done the trick. After just 2 weeks I'm back to my full distance and I can feel that my perfomance is still improving - I'm still treating myself regularly. I just wanted to say thanks. THANKS!! Nadine W. Rating: Hamstring injuries are very common injuries and healing them can take a long time. Whether it's a full tear or partial strain, once you injure your hamstring, it's almost impossible to fully heal because every time you move you can easily re-injure the area. It's just not possible to stop everything and rest your hamstring properly. Everyone has demands that make them keep going. In the process of every day life we prevent the strained/stretched hamstring from healing properly. People don't realize that even after the pain goes away, your hamstring isn't fully healed. With constant use you run the risk of re-injury, prolonging healing time and ultimately you risk permanent damage. ![]() It is almost impossible to keep from re-straining your injured hamstring because even when the pain is gone you still are not fully healed. But, when the pain disappears, that's when we start using our leg normally again even though it isn't fully healed. It's just not possible to stop everything and rest the injury properly. Everyone has demands that make them keep going and when we are active we prevent the hamstring muscles from healing completely. We continually reinjure the area through our daily activities which can often lead to back pain or chronic hamstring pain and immobility later in life. Hamstring Re-Injury Must be Avoided!Constant re-injury (you know when it's happening, you can feel the pain) needs to be avoided at all costs. Obviously, it delays the healing process, but what's worse is that every re-injury and additional healing cycle increases the amount of scar tissue that builds up in the area of your original injury (typically, the biceps femoris muscle). Scar tissue is hard, inflexible, and tough to get rid of. The more scar tissue that develops, the more you lose the range of motion in your leg. The more scar tissue that develops, the more likely you will wind up with chronic leg or lower back pain (long term injury). Scar tissue means that your hamstring will not perform as well as it once did and it makes it much more prone to injury again later on. If you have inflammation in your hamstring or in the muscles surrounding the upper leg, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. You must avoid the build up of scar tissue. If you don't, your strained/pulled leg muscles may plague you forever. This is where pro athletes have the advantage. They use therapeutic tools to speed their healing so that they are 100% healed before they resume their sport. Even once they return to the sport, they use these tools constantly to heal any recurring tendon or muscle damage before it can build into something big. For professional athletes, having the right tools means all the difference. For the rest of us having the right tools should be just as important. If you have a hamstring injury, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. Do not allow this injury to plague you forever! What You Need To Heal a Hamstring Injury:
These three tools are what you need for rapid healing. These are the tools that top professional athletes use to heal their injuries every single day. And just like the professional athletes, you can treat yourself at home. In fact, if you want to heal properly you have to treat yourself because you need to treat your injury every single day. Rapid Healing...Time is Money. A common phrase that is especially true when you are suffering from a debilitating injury! Rapid recovery will not happen by itself; if you need rapid recovery and complete healing then you definitely need BFST®. Anyone in the healthcare business knows that your blood supplies the oxygen and much needed nutrients required to heal an injured muscle, hamstring or tendon - the problem is that an injured leg means your blood flow is usually restricted in the injured area through inactivity and inflammation (swelling). The trick is to first, reduce the swelling to "open up" the area for greater blood flow and second, increase the blood flow in the injured area by using the Leg Inferno Wrap® BFST® therapy device. By using the Inferno Wrap®, blood flow is stimulated in your injured area while you are at rest. The increased blood flow when you are at rest means you are not risking reinjury. Without the risk of reinjury, most patients can recover from their injuries at an advanced rapid rate. Reduction of Swelling (and Pain from Swelling)...Would you know you injured yourself if there was no pain? Probably not! Pain and swelling perform a useful role in letting you know that you did, in fact, injure yourself. Pain and swelling are what get you to seek out medical attention in the hopes of finding a way to reduce the pain and heal your injury.
Inflammation around an injured hamstring can create extreme pain and reduce your ability to move. When using a Cold Compression Leg Freezie Wrap®, you can control inflammation and support the hamstring which speeds up healing and clears away the pain. You don't need medication, drugging your whole body, to mask the pain. You need to reduce the inflammation and avoid reinjury to see a reduction in pain. We all know that if the injury was healed, the pain would go away but what about the opposite situation? If the pain was gone, does that mean the injury is better? Unfortunately, that is not always true. The Cold Compression Leg Freezie Wrap® is very effective at reducing swelling and the pain associated with swelling. Just remember that an injury is not healed just because the swelling is gone - this is why you need to keep treating the injury with BFST® and High Quality Therapeutic Ultrasound. When used in combination, these three modalities provide all the necessary treatments to reduce the pain of your injured hamstring and promote fast and complete healing of the injury. The Leg Inferno Wrap® and Leg Freezie Wrap® are intended for superior treatment of:
If you have a bad hamstring injury or chronic condition, you can heal quickly if you treat your injury correctly. That means using the right therapies every single day. Here's how they work: Deep Tissue Therapeutic Inferno Wraps® =
| Hamstring Injury Facts: Hamstring Muscles cross both your hip and knee, and help extend (straighten) the hip or bend the knee. A Hamstring injury is an injury to one of the three different hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh. The three Hamstring muscles name are: Biceps Femoris, Semitendinousus, Semimembranosus muscles. Continually using your Hamstring muscles while injured will lead to a worse injury; and yes, it is difficult to avoid using the Hamstring. Most Hamstring injuries happen while playing sports, such as soccer or football. Once you have suffered one Hamstring injury, there is a very good chance you will suffer another Hamstring injury.

Rating: Barbara Doubek Dear MendMeShop, I have been using the Ultrasound Therapy System and the Back/Hip Inferno Wrap in treating a hamstring tendon injury very high in the hip at the insertion point. I have had a 35% improvement in just 9 days of using both units. They are very practical and ideal for home use.

Rating: Chris Wellman Dear MendMeShop, I have been treating multiple areas on my body with the ultrasound for just 9 days. The device is being used to treat both of my feet, calf muscles, hamstring, shoulder, neck, lower back, and on my right hand/wrist for Carpal Tunnel (which I have suffered from for around 28 years) Surgery was also conducted on both of my knees a number of years ago. The surgery went fine but then the pain seemed to come back after I began suffering foot problems. The ultrasound is definitely helping alleviate the pain I feel in the knees as well. I couldn't be happier with the MendMeShop ultrasound. I have always wanted to purchase a home ultrasound device but could not find one in my area. I was already seeing a therapist and she was using ultrasound, but that was ending in 6 weeks. I was able to find out about your company and I decided to go ahead with a purchase. Not long after, I was talking to my therapist about your ultrasound device. She was intrigued and talked to her boss about it, who then went ahead and purchased his own.
