| | Hamstring Injuries |
| | Deep tissue massage therapy is recommended for the injured hamstring and the quadriceps muscles. | | | Since the hamstring group is a muscle, the correct term for an injury is hamstring strain. | | | Many sports clinics across the country focus on stretching the injured hamstring muscle as a primary means of treatment, assuming that the tight hamstring is the major cause for the injury. |

| | The hamstring muscles of one leg may be much stronger than the other leg, or the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh may overpower the hamstrings. | | | Though hamstring injuries can be very painful, they will usually heal on their own. | | | As the hamstring begins to heal, it is critical that you follow an exercise program to regain strength and mobility. |

| | The surgical technique involves dividing the taut, tendinous structures of the hamstring muscles near the origin (ie, over the sciatic nerve) without loosening the muscle from the ischial tuberosity, thereby relieving tension and freeing the nerve. | | | The lateral aspect of the hamstring is the biceps femoris muscle. | | | The small subset of patients who have persistent pain at the hamstring origin, with or without associated neuropathic pain, are referred for surgery. |

| | It is necessary to classify hamstring strains as direct traumatic and abrupt strains, gradual onset strains, or those related to hereditarily tight muscles. | | | Other areas are also placed in a position of increased strain because hamstring muscles, like all muscles, will tighten or resist stretching if irritated or inflamed from overuse. | | | Additionally, ischial bursitis may be a consequence due to the irritation at the ischial tuberosity. |

| | The hamstring muscle group is made of three separate muscles; the semimembranosus, the semitendinosus, and the biceps femoris. | | | Since the quadriceps is the antagonist muscle to the hamstrings, and that stretching will allow it to relax, the force of the contraction in the hamstrings will be much greater in the subsequent contraction. | | | Understanding the functions of each of the hamstring muscles is the first step towards devising an effective hamstring workout. |
