Pulled Hamstring / Hamstring Strain “A hamstring strain or a pulled hamstring as it is sometimes called is a tear in one or more of the hamstrings muscles. Strictly speaking there are three hamstring muscles (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus and Biceps femoris) which are known as the hamstring muscle group. These muscles all originate from the ischial tuberosity of the pelvis (see figure 1). Biceps femoris, in addition, has a second portion, known as the small head, that originates from the lower outer portion of the femur bone itself.” Pulled hamstring: How long does it take to heal?
