Hamstring injuries are common among high speed and kicking activities such as runners, footballers and martial arts.

The hamstring muscles run down the back of the leg from the pelvis to the back of your knee. An injury can range from minor strains to total rupture of the muscle. The four muscles that make up the hamstrings are the semitendinosus and semimembranosus (medially) and the biceps femoris - long and short head (laterally).

They begin as a small, nagging ache or pain, and can grow into a nasty debilitating injury if they aren't treated early.
