Women Hamstring pain during Roundoff

[grace63]

Whenever do a round off I feel a pain in my hamstring on my leading leg. The pain often persists after my workout and I sometimes develop bruises around my hamstring later. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Or is it possible that there is something wrong with how I'm doing the roundoff? I don't experience this kind of pain during cartwheels or front handsprings. Thanks!

Yes, you are most likely going into your round off with your lead leg straight or close to straight. Work on letting it bend a little then push. That should help. In the mean time your injury could take months to fully go away. But changing the lead leg in the hurdle will help.
