Is strengthening the hamstrings enough for recurrent hamstring strains?

Doctor’s answer

No. Recurrent strains often involve high-speed running load, pelvic control, gluteal strength, trunk stability, fatigue management, and previous scar tissue. Rehabilitation should include eccentric strength, graded high-speed running, and assessment of sport-specific movement quality.
