A pulled hamstring is a frequent injury in athletes and active individuals, involving over-stretching or tearing of thigh muscles.

Common causes include sudden movements, poor flexibility, and inadequate warm-up. Symptoms range from sharp pain and bruising to difficulty bearing weight in severe cases. Diagnosis typically involves physical exams and imaging tests. While mild strains may heal in weeks, severe injuries demand months and can lead to complications like chronic pain or recurring injuries if untreated. Rehabilitation with the RICE method and physiotherapy is crucial for recovery. Prevention focuses on exercises for flexibility, muscle strength, and proper warm-up routines. Early intervention prevents escalation to severe injuries. Physical therapy is effective in restoring muscle function, while surgery may be necessary for severe tears. Consistent exercise can aid in reducing future injury risks.
