Hamstring Curls

Lie down on your tummy with your leg straight on the floor.

Engage your glutes and continue to breathe.

Slowly lift your affected leg up, bending your knee up and bringing your foot up towards your hips as far as you can. If bending your knee to this point hurts, try bending it to a lesser extent.

Hold for a count of 5.

Slowly lower your leg back to the floor.

Complete 12 to 15 reps.

If your doctor and physical therapist recommends, you can add a weight of less than 5 pounds to your ankle. Adding a weight will activate your hamstrings without having you to bend your knee more than 1 foot from the floor.
