Hi all,

I've had a series of 5 or so hamstring pulls in each leg over the last 8 years. All have occurred while sprinting (at my top speed, not while accelerating) -- I play ultimate Frisbee and train doing track workouts. I usually see a physiotherapist with whom I do a combination of strengthening, stretching and massage, while seem to help the recovery. But I keep restraining my hamstring nonetheless!

I had light groin adductor tendonitits over that period as well. Two years ago I developed bilateral inguinal hernias. A doctor recommended that the hernias be repaired alongside an adductor release; I had both operations 16 months ago. My recovery from the operation has been slow -- some osteitis pubis as well -- but it coming along. The hamstring pulls continue -- I've pulled each one in last two months. I'm not sure if this is connected to the hamstring.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice that go beyond the usual hamstring recovery protocol?

Many thanks,
Scott
