Hamstring Strains Burnside
At SA Running Injury Clinic, we proudly provide care and treatment for those suffering from hamstring strains in Burnside 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.
The cause of hamstring strains is often poor timing-intermuscular coordination and inadequate eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles.
