I have been visiting a chinese medicine shop (small little room at the back of traditional chinese medicine shop) since 97 for help on my pulled hamstrings and knocks from soccer and found that there is a traditional chinese method of using suction cups on the area where you have the injury. A good 30 minute session with these suction cups not only relieve's the pain but also clears out the blocked vessels and allows for blood to flow, those allowing the hamstring to heal alot faster.

Once finished, you feel as good as new but you're left with blue and black marks from the treatment which do go away after a week or so and the fact you cant really push it as much as you want but its a hell of a lot faster than going for physiotheraphy.

I am not sure if they do have medicine shops in china town in Seattle or other cities that have this treatment available..
