Hamstring Strains St Georges
SA Running Injury Clinic is dedicated to offering care and treatment for hamstring strain sufferers in St Georges 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.
Hamstring strains are caused by poor timing-intermuscular coordination and eccentric strength in the hamstring muscles.
Factors Contributing to Hamstring Strains
Additional factors causing hamstring strains include:
- Overstriding while walking or running
- Lack of pelvic control
- Inadequate warm-up
- Hamstring muscles becoming overly fatigued
- Slippery, wet playing surfaces put additional strain on the hamstring due to slipping
