Hamstring Pain Treatment Newcastle

Hamstring pain can make running, walking, sitting, or bending difficult. Whether it’s a sudden strain from sport, a gradual onset from repetitive activity, or lingering tightness after an injury, hamstring pain can significantly impact your daily life and athletic performance.

At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our expert physiotherapists specialise in diagnosing and treating all types of hamstring injuries. Through hands-on therapy, evidence-based rehabilitation, and tailored exercise programmes, we help you recover safely, improve flexibility, and prevent future problems.

Hamstring Pain Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists in Newcastle use a combination of mobilisation, manual therapy, soft tissue release, taping, massage, dry needling, and strengthening exercises to reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve hamstring function.

We take a personalised approach, identifying the root cause of your hamstring pain rather than just managing symptoms. Following a detailed assessment, we explain your diagnosis, outline the most effective treatment options, and begin physiotherapy in your first session. Early intervention is key to faster recovery and preventing recurring injuries.

Common Types of Hamstring Pain

Acute Hamstring Strain
Often called a “pulled hamstring,” this occurs suddenly during sprinting, kicking, or sudden acceleration. Pain may be felt in the back of the thigh and can range from mild tightness to severe tearing.

Chronic or Recurrent Hamstring Strain
Repeated overuse, poor conditioning, or inadequate rehabilitation after a previous injury can lead to ongoing or recurrent hamstring pain.

Tendinopathy
Gradual degeneration or overload of the hamstring tendons can cause persistent pain, stiffness, and weakness, often aggravated by running or prolonged sitting.

Muscle Imbalances or Postural Issues
Weak gluteal muscles, tight hip flexors, or imbalanced leg muscles can place extra strain on the hamstrings, contributing to pain and risk of injury.

Referred Pain
Occasionally, hamstring discomfort may be related to issues in the lower back, pelvis, or hip, rather than the hamstring itself.
