Hamstring Strains Highgate
At SA Running Injury Clinic, we proudly provide care and treatment for those suffering from hamstring strains in Highgate 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 are caused by poor timing-intermuscular coordination and eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles.

- Playing on wet, slippery surfaces increases hamstring strain due to slipping
