Hamstring Strains Parkside
SA Running Injury Clinic is proud to offer care and treatment for hamstring strain sufferers in Parkside and neighbouring areas. A hamstring strain is a prevalent leg injury involving a tear in one or more of the hamstring muscles. It typically occurs during activities like sprinting or kicking. Hamstring strains can vary from mild to very severe, including a complete muscle tear.
Poor timing-intermuscular coordination and insufficient eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles are the primary causes of hamstring strains.
Reasons for Hamstring Strains
Other contributing factors to hamstring strains are:
- Overstriding in gait
- Weak pelvic control
- Lack of proper warm-up
- Hamstring muscles becoming overly fatigued
- Slippery, wet playing surfaces put additional strain on the hamstring due to slipping
