[quote=Anonymous]Reaching out for some advice on my daughters hamstrings.  Daughter is 2012, we play EDP Gold and play year round.  For 2 years now she has had chronic hamstring issues and pain.  While we have had strains before, we also have periods of regular pain, where at the start of practice she will say they are hurting, she will stretch we get her grooving and the loosen up.  When we get in these periods it becomes a season long fight to keep her healthy to play.

We are currently in winter season, so practice is two days a week, game every other week.  I do not think  she is over training as this is much dialed back from season.  She started complaining last week of the tightness at practices and pain, yesterday we had super Y, followed by a game.  She hobbled through the game and was very clearly limited by hamstring pain. Daughter is the type to never admit to being hurt, and always fine to play, so for her to be bothered to this degree must really be bad.

My questions is, having googled around, the causes seem to be, muscle imbalances, over training, or tight muscles.  I think over training is not it.

Should I begin her on a daily routine of 3-4 sets of hamstring curls a day, and some stretching to try and fix any imbalances, or does anyone have advice on what i should be doing to treat this.

I was debating seeing the doctor, i assume the general practitioner will be useless for this however, what type of doctor should i be looking to if that is the case?

Appreciate all who can give me any guidance. [/quote]
