Hamstring pain doesn't take a long time to heal! Doing the right things can move things along!
If you want to run with the hamstring pain, get a neoprene thigh wrap... that supports the hamstring!
I'm glad you are going to a Massage Therapist! You injured your hamstring, scar tissue formed and FASCIA is "gumming up"- soft tissue dysfunction! There is a technique called Separating the Hamstings and since you are going to a Massage Therapist, ask him to do this for you! You have three Hamstring muscles and should function on their own. But since you injured your hamstring, the FASCIA is gumming them up as one. You lie face down with your foot in the air(forming a 90degree angle). Between the Biceps Femoris and Semitendinous/Semimembranosuos there is a separation. The MT starts at the bottom of the hamstrings, wiggling his fingers between the center of the hamstring while you rotate your foot/lower leg medially and laterally with the knee bent. The binding FASCIA will release allowing the MT fingers to sink in toward the femur. The MT works his way up the hamstring!
If the massage therapy isn't working for you. I suggest you do GRASTON TECHNIQUE!
