Hamstring Strains Heathpool
SA Running Injury Clinic is dedicated to offering care and treatment for hamstring strain sufferers in Heathpool 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.
The cause of hamstring strains is often poor timing-intermuscular coordination and inadequate eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles.
