Hamstring Strains Joslin
SA Running Injury Clinic is dedicated to offering care and treatment for hamstring strain sufferers in Joslin and nearby areas. A hamstring strain, a frequent leg injury, involves tearing one or more of the hamstring muscles. It commonly happens during sprinting or kicking. The severity of a hamstring strain can range from mild to very severe, potentially involving a complete tear of the muscle.
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:
- Excessive overstriding
- Poor pelvic control
- Inadequate warm-up
- Hamstring muscles are overly fatigued
- Wet, slippery playing surfaces cause more strain on the hamstring because of slipping
