Hamstring Strain

Hamstring strains are a common sporting injury, which prevent many sports men and women from participating in their chosen sporting activity on a weekly basis. Managing a strained or torn/weak hamstring is therefore essential to minimise the likelihood of a serious injury.

A hamstring injury can be eased by using the most suitable hamstring support in the form of a thigh support and by carrying out effective stretches before and after carrying out your chosen exercise. Hamstring stretches can be carried out either in a lying or standing position and will ease pain from hamstring and the rest of the upper leg if performed correctly.

Selecting the most appropriate thigh support to ease a hamstring injury can also be a challenge as there are so many available to choose from, from breathable Oppo and LP Extreme thigh supports to the more flexible, elasticated thigh supports.
