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).

knee may not extend more than 30 to 40 degrees short of straight without
intense pain.
