The big group of muscles and tendons in the back of the thigh are commonly called the hamstrings. Injuries in this powerful muscle group are common, especially in athletes. Hamstring injuries usually occur during heavy exercise. In especially bad cases, an athlete may suddenly hear a pop and fall to the ground. The athlete may be able to walk with only mild pain even in a severe injury, but taking part in strenuous exercise will be impossible, and the pain will continue. In less severe cases, athletes notice a tight feeling or a pulling in their hamstring that slows them down. This type of hamstring injury often turns into a long-lasting problem.

At FYZICAL Sun City Las Vegas, our physical therapists will learn your medical history and examine the back of your thigh. Our physical therapists will then create a plan of care, customized to you and your schedule to help get you back to doing the things you love!
