Hamstring Strains Glenside
At SA Running Injury Clinic, we proudly provide care and treatment for those suffering from hamstring strains in Glenside and surrounding communities. Hamstring strain is a common leg injury that involves tearing one or more hamstring muscles. This injury usually occurs during sprinting or kicking activities. The severity of a hamstring strain can range from mild to very severe, with the potential for a complete muscle tear.
Hamstring strains result from poor timing-intermuscular coordination and lack of eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles.
Factors Causing Hamstring Strains
Additional factors causing hamstring strains include:
- Overstriding while walking or running
- Inadequate pelvic control
- Inadequate warm-up
- Over-fatigued hamstring muscles
- Wet, slippery playing surfaces cause more strain on the hamstring because of slipping
