A hamstring massage typically involves kneading, rolling, and stretching techniques.

Other techniques that may be used include effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), and tapotement (percussion).

Generally, if you are using massage to help with a specific injury or tightness, you should get a massage every 1-2 weeks until the issue is resolved. For general maintenance, you may want to get a massage every 4-6 weeks.
The length of a hamstring massage will vary depending on the individual and the type of massage being performed. Generally, a hamstring massage can range from 10 to 30 minutes.
