👇 Hamstring Strains 👇⁠

.⁠

Hamstring strains are one of the most common muscle injuries in sports that require sprinting and change of direction such as footy, soccer and AFL⁠

.⁠

Our hamstrings are made up of 3 muscles on the backs of our legs. They originate from the lower part of our pelvis and attach just below the knee joint ⁠

.⁠

Acute injuries occur during a sudden movement or force being applied to the hamstrings that is too great for them to handle⁠

.⁠

You are more likely to injure your hamstring as you get older, or if you have suffered a previous injury or have poor flexibility and strength⁠

.⁠

Hamstring strains have a very high recurrence rate. It is crucial to achieve full flexibility and strength before returning to sport⁠

.⁠

Here Simon is focusing on single leg RDL’s. This exercise both stretches and strengthens the hamstring muscles making it a great compound exercise⁠ for rehab

.⁠
