I was stretching my hamstrings on the floor and had my legs spread in a “V.” I leaned over to stretch my right hamstring and heard a distinct “pop” and my leg actually wobbled. It didn’t hurt at the time I did it. After about 2 hours, pain set in. I treated with ice, massage, Guasha, chiropractor, moist heat and galvanic therapy for 2 weeks. My chiropractor suggested QGM [Latest Version is CHI Palm] on area 15 minutes. It took the pain away immediately and lasted for weeks. The torn hamstring at the Ischial tuberosity quit hurting for 2 weeks.
I decided to buy one myself and use it on my clients (I’m a massage therapist). Now about every 6 months, I sit on it for half an hour or so and it lasts another 6 months. I can now sit for longer periods of time. I can run without weakness and can stretch without pain. I thought I was headed for surgery, but this saved my leg and career. I use it effectively with my clients now with great success.
