Hamstring Strains can be caused by a blunt trauma, a quick dynamic movement, or chronic fatigue. It commonly occurs when the hamstring is rapidly stretched, or when the muscle fibers have microtears, which affect the contraction of the hamstring. Effective treatments for a hamstring strain include, deep tissue massage or soft tissue mobilization with blades. Myofascial decompression with cups has been shown to improve muscle fiber mobility and decreases fascial densification in the injured hamstrings with a 3–5-minute treatment.
Rehabilitation with soft tissue mobilization shows the best outcomes and prevents further injury to the hamstrings.
