-- Christian Watson's Hamstring Issues: Muscle Imbalance --
Fri May 24, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

ESPN reports Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson finally understands why recurring hamstring injuries have slowed him down. More importantly, he now knows how to fix it. While it's still a work in progress, the former second-round pick said this week that he has made significant progress toward ending the issue for good. The key for Watson, he discovered, is symmetry. That was chief among the things he learned during eight hours of testing this offseason at the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine and Public Health. Tests showed a muscle imbalance in his legs, which likely contributed to his problems. He has missed 11 games during his first two seasons, including eight last season, because of a pulled hamstring in his right leg. "For me, it really was the asymmetry between the legs," Watson explained this week after an OTA practice. "It comes from a lot of things. Obviously, the issues I've had in the past with hamstrings, not fully recovering from those strength-wise. I've been attacking the strength side of it, trying to get that symmetry back and it's been huge for me. I feel really, really good. I gotta continue grinding at it." Shortly after Watson's visit to UW, which in 2021 was given a $4 million grant by the NFL to study the prevention and treatment of hamstring injuries, he had a 20% difference in muscle mass between his right and left legs. Now, he says it's between 8% and 10%. Perfect symmetry is nearly impossible, but Watson said his goal is for his legs to be within 6% of each other. "Obviously still working to get there," he said.
