Symptoms: A sharp pain may be felt in the hamstring when a
serious strain or tear occurs. This often happens during such action
as an explosive move in basketball or a quick sprint. If you feel a
deep ache in the hamstring area it may be a less severe strain or
minor tear.
Causes: Tight hamstring muscles, muscle imbalance, sudden
movement, and repetitive strain are all common types of hamstring
injuries.
Recommended Treatment: See a medical professional for an
evaluation. Rest leg as much as possible and ice after any activity
to promote healing. Use a brace when participating in any strenuous
activity to reduce stress to area. Stretch the hamstring muscles as
long as stretching causes no pain.
The Hamstring Compression Wrap is designed with a 4"
by 6" compression pad to provide targeted compression where
you need it. It is made from a UBL neoprene that is
extremely comfortable and Velcro compatible. In addition, a
dual strap attachment makes it easy to adjust the tightness
and compression of the brace.
Absorbs stress, stabilizing
the hamstring area. Consistent compression may help reduce
pain and prevent further injury.
Application: Alleviates conditions of hamstring tear or
strain.
