Hamstring Strains

A muscle strain refers to a slight tearing of a muscle. The primary cause of hamstring strains is typically rapid acceleration during running or sudden changes in direction. Individuals may experience a mild pulling sensation or hear a popping sound in the back of the thigh. This injury leads to pain, swelling, and an inability to continue running. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, elevation, and physical therapy to facilitate recovery.
