There is always a much larger picture at play, hence why it is so important to be assessed correctly. The question one has to ask is are my body mechanics causing inefficiencies in my kinetic chain? In layman's terms do I have imbalances that a contributing to the hamstring strain or tear?
The body has a innate ability to compensate and enable you to do what you need to do, such as; walk, go to work, to the toilet, carry on about your day as normal.
Long story short your injury will generally get better, however if you don't address the imbalances in the body there is a good chance that you injure yourself again and again.
One needs to address both the cause and the symptoms.
