Hamstring Strains Prospect
SA Running Injury Clinic proudly offer care and treatment for hamstring strains sufferers in Prospect and surrounding communities. Hamstring strain is a common leg injury involving a tear in one or more of the hamstring muscles. It usually happens when someone is sprinting or kicking. A hamstring strain can range from mild to very severe involving a complete tear of the hamstring muscle.

Poor timing-intermuscular coordination and insufficient eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles are the primary causes of hamstring strains.
