About Hamstring Strain in Kolkata
A Hamstring Strain is an injury involving the stretching or tearing of the muscles at the back of the thigh, which are responsible for bending the knee and extending the hip during activities like running and jumping. This injury commonly occurs during sudden, explosive movements such as sprinting, especially when the muscle is not adequately warmed up or is fatigued. Strains are graded by severity from mild overstretching to a complete muscle tear, with recovery time varying considerably based on the extent of the injury. Hamstring strains are notorious for a relatively high rate of recurrence if not fully rehabilitated before returning to activity.
