I asked my PT about heading to a mat pilates class during my recovery period, and he isn't sure of the impact of pilates on the hamstring and hamstring/quad tendons. The two tendons in question attach the hammie in the back to my butt (I sit on it), and the quad tendon on the inside of my thigh up at the top. Of course there is also the strain in the same hammie.

How much does mat pilates activate the hamstring? I know it is quite good for the core, and I want to do it this winter, just wondering if I need to wait until the hamstring is healed... My physical therapist is holding me back on this, but he admits that he isn't all that familiar with it. I will discuss this further with him Friday when I've more information.
