Recently, I developed a tightness and pain in the junction of glute and hamstring. I suspect it was due to a back workout specifically a dead lift session.
It was also uncomfortable sitting down for too long, but this has abated somewhat although still there (sort of a nagging pain at 'point' of glute). Time wise, it's been about 7-10 days since the symptoms first developed.
Typically, I do 3-4 workouts weekly, Chest/Triceps, Back/Biceps & Legs/Delts, repeating sequence. The first leg workout saw no problem squatting but leg press I felt it closer to hamstring at extension with knees still slightly flexed. Between sets of Leg Press and Squats, I did simple touch-toe hamstring stretches.
Next back workout, I didn't do dead lifts, pull-downs were no problem, but cable rows have same feel as leg press.
Would some deep massage help or simply continue to avoid dead lifts and keep stretching allowing time to heal?
