Why Hamstring Rehab Is Critical
The management of hamstring injuries depends on it's location, your sport and the position that you play.
The importance of rehab:
Hamstring strains have a high recurrence rate
Most relapses occur within 2–3 weeks of return if not rehabbed properly
Strength and running load must be progressed systematically

Our Rehab Process at Pivot Bundoora
Each hamstring injury requires an in depth examination.
Strength progressions
At Pivot, we believe in targeting hamstring strength early on in rehab. After 48 hours, we will commence isometric strength training and gradually progress you through the continuum toward eccentric and power based hamstring training.
Running drills
The most common cause of hamstring strains is sprinting, so assessing and addressing issues with sprinting, accelerating and changing direction is crucial.
Plyometric and Rate of Force Development
Your hamstring are strong. Really, really strong. Thus they require exposure to high levels of force and high level plyometrics before you return to sprinting and playing sport.
Return to play testing
We have a thorough return to sport testing program that will provide you with confidence that you have regained the strength and power in your ankle prior to returning to playing.

Hamstring Strain Rehab FAQs
How long does it take to recover from a hamstring strain?
Recovery time depends on the severity of the strain and your sport’s physical demands.
Grade I strains may resolve in 1–2 weeks.
Grade II injuries typically require 3–6 weeks.
Grade III tears, which may involve complete rupture, often take 8–12+ weeks and require longer-term rehab.
At Pivot Bundoora, we assess your injury, test your strength and sprint mechanics, and tailor your recovery plan to ensure a safe and confident return to sport.
Can I keep training while I recover?
Yes — in most cases, modified training can continue under supervision. At Pivot Bundoora, we prioritise load management and maintain strength in other muscle groups while progressively loading the injured hamstring.
Avoiding training completely can lead to deconditioning and slower recovery.
Do you test sprinting and jumping before I return to play?
Absolutely. Before we clear you for sport, we test:
Sprint mechanics and top-end velocity
Hamstring strength (including eccentric control)
Hop and bounding metrics
This ensures you don’t just feel better — you're actually ready to perform safely.
Our No Risk
Guarantee
At the end of your initial treatment, your action plan will be discussed and a expected recovery time will be established. If you have not recovered in that time, lived up to the expectations and there have been no unforeseen events, we will continue to rehabilitate your injury without additional charge!
