Hamstrings are a group of muscles ( semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femoris) present in the back of your thigh region. An injury to these muscles during physical activity is known as a hamstring injury. It is more common among sports players. Sports that involve sprinting at high speed with sudden pauses, such as football, basketball, soccer, tennis, etc., can put you at risk. It can also occur among people of other professions that involve intense physical activity. Mild to moderate injuries can be treated by rest, icing, and compression. In a severe hamstring injury, surgical options may be considered to repair the damaged muscle.
