Healing Solutions for Hamstring Injuries

You don't have to suffer. You don't have to wait.
  • You can reduce the pain and swelling.
  • You can heal quickly.
You simply need the right treatment.

Avoid These Common Mistakes:


One Super Important Fact

When it comes to treating Hamstring injuries, there is way too much misinformation provided online. Don't start with stretching and exercise, they are for after you've started healing. Don't take pain meds. And be careful of reinjury or you could be headed into a lifetime of chronic injury. BFST® treatments are extremely important. Doing BFST® treatments at the correct times during the day will not only aid in the recovery process, but will also help you avoid re-injury.
Professional athletes regularly choose BFST.


Rapid Recovery for Hamstring Injuries


We know you don't have the time or the desire to rest your injury for weeks on end. We know you want to get back to doing the activities you love as quickly as possible. While resting can help you avoid further injury, it won't be enough to accelerate the healing process. If you want to get rid of the pain and heal your Hamstrings in a reduced amount of time, you need a professional solution. You need our ColdCure® and BFST® Leg Wraps.


The Ultimate Solution:


If you really want to get better, here's exactly what you need to do.


  • Do a BFST® treatment right before physical activity. Do another BFST® treatment before bed. This will help your Hamstrings heal quickly.
  • Do a ColdCure® treatment right after physical activity to reduce any internal inflammation and protect your Hamstrings from further injury.
  • Avoid re-straining your Hamstrings as much as possible. Using KB Support Tape will help with this.
  • Do this and your Hamstring Injury can truly heal - finally.


    Blood Flow Is Essential For Healing


    You can heal your Hamstring Injury and get back to your usual activities in a reduced amount of time. You simply need the right treatment. You need to stimulate additional blood flow to your injured Hamstrings. You need Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®).


    BFST® Wraps bring oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area of your Hamstrings - a requirement for the body to heal itself. Unfortunately, a Hamstring injury at rest often has restricted blood flow, which in turn limits the body's ability to heal. Physical activity will promote blood flow but all too often it also results in small but frequent re-injury, which extends your healing time and greatly increases the amount of scar tissue that develops. With a King Brand® BFST® Leg Wrap, blood flow can be stimulated in your Hamstrings while you are at rest. With improved blood flow and without physical activity and the risk of re-injury, you can recover from your Hamstring Injury at a surprisingly rapid rate.


    BFST® Devices are Electrical Medical Appliances that
    actively stimulate blood flow in injured tissue.

    BFST® devices heal soft tissue.

    The BFST® Wrap stimulates blood flow through your Hamstrings while you are at rest. This is very important because while at rest, the blood flow to your Hamstrings is seriously impeded. It is the oxygen and nutrient-rich blood that enables the healing process, so adequate blood flow is required for your Hamstrings to heal properly and quickly.

    Almost as important as the promotion of blood flow is the reminder of your injury. The reminder is what helps you move with care so you don't end up overdoing it and re-injuring yourself. Avoiding re-injury is fundamental to rapid recovery. That's why we recommend that you keep wearing your BFST® Leg Wrap between treatments. It's designed to be worn even when turned off to help protect your Hamstrings from re-injury. This will go a long way towards shortening your recovery time.


    BFST® treatments feel great. They're very pleasant and relaxing. People often feel a warming sensation and a slight tingling sensation from the increase in blood flow. For optimal results, do 3-4 BFST® treatments per day. Since the effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours, it's best to spread your treatments out over the course of your day. An ideal treatment regimen would be one treatment first thing in the morning, another treatment in the afternoon, a treatment in the evening, and the last treatment of the day right before bed.


    Dealing With Pain


    Hamstring Injury Treatment Without Drugs

    Hamstring Injuries can be extremely painful and debilitating, causing you to rely on painkillers for relief. Analgesics and NSAIDs such as ASA, acetaminophen or ibuprofen are often used to treat the pain but these drugs do nothing to treat the actual condition. In fact, analgesics and NSAIDs are known blood thinners and make the bleeding worse for fresh tissue injuries. Typical pain medications actually interfere with the healing process. They do not promote healing of the injury and put you at a very high risk of further injury.


    Painkillers Are BAD, Not Good


    All painkillers do is mask the pain. They don't do anything to address the injury causing that pain. This can cause a false sense of ability that will lead to a worsened condition and much longer recovery time. If you have to take painkillers, try to restrict them to times when you're at rest. You can use painkillers to help you sleep. Using them when you are active is a recipe for permanent damage.


    Avoid the Dangers of Painkillers


    ColdCure® Wraps are a safe, effective alternative to painkillers. Actually, they're superior to painkillers in every way. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap does an amazing job of relieving the pain and swelling associated with a Hamstring Injury, without any of the negative aspects of painkillers. ColdCure® Wraps also work much faster than painkillers. As soon as you apply the wrap to your Hamstrings, you will feel the cool, soothing relief as it absorbs the pain.


    ColdCure® Devices Reduce Pain and Swelling.

    ColdCure® Devices are NOT typical cold or ice packs.

    For controlling the swelling and pain associated with a Hamstring Injury, nothing works better than cold compression.


    ColdCure® gel packs were designed to address the need for a cold compression device that does not cause cold burns. Our gel packs pose no threat of freezing your skin or underlying tissue. This makes them much safer to use than other products that use ice, which can cause the skin to freeze, leading to permanent damage. ColdCure® gel packs are completely safe to use for extended treatment durations, meaning faster relief of pain and swelling. Our ColdCure® technology is a huge improvement on regular ice packs.


    The ColdCure® Leg Wrap is made entirely of very soft, stretchy material. It comes with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® is firm yet flexible, meaning it always stays in place. Unlike gooey blue gel that migrates to other areas of the pack, our gel won't flow away from your injury. It conforms to your Hamstrings for an even, consistent treatment every time. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals throughout the day, or as long as you need the relief.


    Protect Your Hamstrings Between Treatments


    When you're not doing treatments with your BFST® or ColdCure® Wrap, your injured tissue becomes vulnerable to further damage. You don't want to re-injure your already fragile tissue and make your Hamstring Injury worse. Apply KB Support Tape to your Hamstrings between your BFST® and ColdCure® treatments. This will provide your injured tissue with additional support and protection.


    Our skin is soft and elastic and can stretch much more than the tissue underneath. When you apply KB Support Tape to your skin, it becomes a much more rigid surface than before, serving to limit how much the skin can stretch. The Tape makes your skin a source of outside support to hold your tissue in place, helping to prevent re-injury. That's why we call it armor for your injury.

    KB Support Tape provides your injury with lightweight, comfortable compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also prevents re-injury by providing support and protection for your injured tissue.


    KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles come in 4 different colors: Pink, Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.


    Hamstring Tape Treatment

    The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are perfect for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.


    The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are ideal for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.


    Part of the above application was applied over clothing for demonstration purposes only. When using this application, apply it directly to your skin.


    While we found the above application to be effective for Hamstring Injuries, it's only an example. We encourage you to try different applications for your given injury to find the one that works best for you. Also, remember to listen to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your Hamstring, apply the tape there.


    The Medical Tape Advantage


    What sets KB Support Tape apart from the rest? It's not athletic tape, it's medical tape. This means our Tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our Tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. Our Tape is actually made from materials that are safer than most baby products, including diapers, toys and clothing. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape. Some big brand athletic tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety is of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape is manufactured to such high standards.

    Combination Therapy
    BFST® + ColdCure® + KB Tape


    BFST® for Rapid Healing
    ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
    KB Tape to Prevent Re-Injury

    Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape between your treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just one product or the other. This is because you're getting the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, and the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape, resulting in the absolute best treatment for your Hamstring Injury.


    Step 1


    Use the ColdCure® Wrap several times a day to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue.


    Combination Therapy is Colcure and BFST

    Step 2


    Avoid using the BFST® Wrap until your inflammation and swelling has subsided. Start your BFST® treatments on Level 1. For maximum benefit, please take into consideration that each 20 minute treatment optimizes your blood circulation for an average of 4 hours. We recommend 3-4 treatments daily, spread throughout the day. During the day, do a BFST® treatment every 4 hours or before any type of physical activity. This can include anything that puts a strain on the injured area (running, jumping, etc). This can also be used for preventative measures after a full recovery to optimize your blood flow.


    Step 3


    Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing a BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment. This will counteract the treatment. If necessary, use the ColdCure® Wrap for pain control, then follow up with another BFST® treatment.


    Step 4


    Any time you're not doing a BFST® or ColdCure® treatment, wear KB Support Tape on your Hamstring Injury. More Tape means more support, so if you're doing something physically demanding, you may want to apply an extra layer of Tape. If you're taping and doing multiple BFST® treatments throughout the day, do your first BFST® treatment before the Tape is applied and your last treatment after it has been removed at the end of the day.

    Medical Function - BFST® Wrap - Accelerated Healing




    BFST® Wraps are Class II FDA Registered medical devices. They comply with hundreds of pages of regulations and standards that are in place to keep you safe and ensure effective treatments. BFST® devices are designed and tested to extremely high standards of quality, safety and performance. Consumer grade products aren't - because they're not FDA Registered.


    The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop your Hamstrings (also known as the Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus) and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.


    BFST Power Controller

    BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments at Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as their Hamstring Injury heals. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up the healing process. You need to condition the body first.


    During your first treatments on Level 1, you may feel a slight warming sensation deep within your Hamstrings. This is because, at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the better your circulation will become, and the less warmth you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that your circulation is improving. Better circulation means blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel almost no warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat doesn't mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.

    BFST® Wraps are far superior to heating pads. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your tissue damage. Heating pads can't do this. BFST® Wraps stimulate healthy blood flow in the area of your injury, deep below the skin. This creates an ideal environment for healing. All heating pads do is bring blood to the surface of your skin, making it hot to the touch. The difference between a BFST® Wrap and a heating pad is huge.


    The Energy Web® of the BFST® Leg device is enclosed inside a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The Wrap molds the Energy Web® around your Hamstrings to ensure that the entire injured area receives an even distribution of energy. The straps attached to the wrap make it easy to find the right fit. You don't need to remove the BFST® Wrap once your treatment ends. Simply unplug the controller and keep wearing it to act as a reminder of your injury.



    Complete the Healing Process


    You need to keep doing BFST® treatments even after the pain is gone, because the pain ends long before you've finished healing. The entire healing process is very complex and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story.) The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your Hamstrings are still healing. This means you need to continue doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity to warm up your circulatory system. You should also continue taping your Hamstrings to prevent the risk of re-injury.



    Medical Function - ColdCure® Wrap - Extreme Pain Relief



    ColdCure® Wraps are FDA Registered Class I medical devices. They exceed all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy, specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries. When applied, ColdCure® Wraps immediately reduce the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long-term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.


    ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel. Why? Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 0°C. ColdCure Stays at a Safe Temperature While they may start at about -20°C straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 0°C and stay at 0°C for a long time. This is the ideal temperature for cold therapy, because it's cold enough to relieve your pain and swelling, but safe enough to not cause cold burns. Ice and blue gel packs will also start out at -20°C and rapidly go to 0°C, but then their temperature will keep rising quickly, instead of staying in the safe, effective zone of 0°C. The XC Gel® danger zone is very small, but the benefits are huge.


    While XC Gel® packs are designed to be stored in the freezer, you can store them in the fridge if you find them too cold from the freezer. Not all freezers are the same. If you find that the gel is too stiff from the freezer, leave it out for 1-2 minutes before inserting it inside the wrap. When the pack is soft enough to bend, it's ready to use for treatment.


    Rest, Cold, Compression, Elevation

    Many people use the RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - method when treating a soft tissue injury such as a pulled Hamstring. What most of these people probably don't realize is that using ice can be very dangerous. The truth is that ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your skin and underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold, and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.


    XC Gel® packs provide the best in coverage and cold power. They contain 10x more gel per lb than other products, for complete coverage of your Hamstrings. When stored in the freezer, our XC Gel® packs have
    3x more cooling power per lb than other products. This means faster, more effective relief of your pain and swelling. It also means longer treatment times without having to get up and swap the packs as often.


    ColdCure Coverage Zone

    ColdCure® Leg gel packs are custom designed to mold to your Hamstrings. This ensures that the entire injured area receives an even distribution of cooling power. We don't just use one common gel pack with all of our wraps. All of our gel packs are specially designed for a specific part of the body. Every body part is uniquely shaped, which is why every one of our gel packs is uniquely shaped too. This product has 100% been designed to treat Hamstring Injuries.



    Unique XC RigiGel® Formula


    While regular gel packs have hot and cold spots, our gel packs have an evenly balanced cold temperature. Our unique
    XC RigiGel® formula eliminates hot spots by distributing the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. This means your Hamstring Injury will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack during every treatment. The amazing temperature-balancing power of XC RigiGel® can only be found in a ColdCure® Wrap.


    XC Gel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides have all the same benefits that our outstanding XC RigiGel® formula has to offer! XC Gel® packs can be inserted inside the pack with the white side facing towards your hamstring or away from your hamstring since they're not side specific.
