Hamstring Muscle Function and Common Injuries

The hamstring muscles are three large muscles that run down the back of the thigh and help control the hips and knees. They're key to mobility, including walking and playing sports, but injuries are common and can include muscle strains, flatback syndrome, spinal disc injury, and sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.
