The Key to Faster Recovery from Hamstring Injuries

Recover Faster from Hamstring Injuries with Shockwave Therapy & Exercise Plan

Exclusive Member Offer at Harbour Chiropractic

Helping Our Members Stay Active, Healthy, and Pain-Free

At Exeter Golf and Country Club, we’re passionate about helping our members stay active, healthy, and enjoying the sports and leisure activities they love — whether that’s out on the golf course, playing tennis, swimming, training in the gym, or taking part in our wide range of fitness classes.

But we also know that injuries can happen. One of the most common issues our active members face is hamstring pain — whether from sport, overuse, or simply the wear and tear of daily life.

That’s why we work in partnership with Harbour Chiropractic in Topsham

Members of Exeter Golf and Country Club get 20% off their initial consultation at Harbour Chiropractic – so it’s a great way to get started with a treatment plan combining a Training Programme for hamstrings in the Gym with Shockwave Therapy at Harbour Chiropractic.

Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment proven to help accelerate recovery from hamstring injuries and chronic muscle pain.

 


Why Hamstring Injuries Are Such a Problem for Active People

Hamstring strains and tightness are incredibly common, particularly among people who lead active lifestyles like our members. These muscles — running down the back of the thigh — play a vital role in everything from running and jumping to walking and even standing.

Because they’re constantly in use, they are vulnerable to:

Sudden strains during sport
Overuse and fatigue from training
Muscle imbalances (often tight hip flexors or weak glutes)
Insufficient recovery between workouts or matches

And once injured, hamstrings are notoriously slow to heal. Many people struggle with recurring hamstring problems, finding that rest, stretching, or massage only provide temporary relief.

That’s where Shockwave Therapy can make a real difference.

 


What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) is an advanced treatment widely used in professional sport and physiotherapy. It involves delivering high-energy sound waves directly to the injured area.

This stimulates your body’s natural healing response by:

Breaking down scar tissue
Increasing blood flow to the injured muscle
Reducing inflammation and pain
Accelerating tissue repair and regeneration

In short: Shockwave Therapy helps to reboot the healing process, especially in injuries that have plateaued or aren’t responding to traditional rest and rehab.

 


 Exeter Golf and Country Club Member Benefits

As a member, you’re already committed to staying active and looking after your health. But we also know how frustrating it can be when an injury holds you back from enjoying the activities you love.

Through our partnership with Harbour Chiropractic, you’ll have access to treatment that combines chiropractic care with a training rehab plan in the gym – in fact Harbour will email your plan straight to a Personal Trainer so you can start PT work with them to tackle the injury head on.

This combined approach will get you back on the golf course, courts, or gym floor faster, plus help prevent repeat injuries by addressing the root cause.

This partnership means your care is integrated.

Our trainers can work alongside Harbour Chiropractic’s clinicians to ensure you get a holistic, joined-up rehabilitation plan tailored to your sport, your goals, and your lifestyle.


 


A Holistic Approach to Recovery

At Exeter Golf and Country Club, we’ve always believed in a whole-person approach to health and fitness. That’s why our partnership with Harbour Chiropractic is such a natural fit.

This isn’t just about treating symptoms. It’s about building resilience and confidence so you can continue enjoying everything the club has to offer.

Together, we can provide members with:

Comprehensive assessment – Understanding the root cause of your hamstring pain

Cutting-edge treatment – Using Shockwave Therapy to stimulate healing

Tailored rehabilitation plans – Developed with our personal training team

Biomechanical assessments – To reduce risk of recurrence

Ongoing support – To keep you strong, active, and injury-free long term

 


 

What to Expect at Harbour Chiropractic

Members get 20% off the initial consultation at Harbour Chiropractic, giving you access to:

Clinical assessment of your injury and movement,  a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, and, if suitable, your first Shockwave Therapy session*.

Shockwave Therapy Hamstring Treatment is quick and non-invasive, usually lasting around 15 minutes. Some people experience mild discomfort during the procedure — but it’s temporary, and most patients describe it as a deep pressure rather than pain. Many notice improvement after just a few sessions.
