Hamstring injuries are very common in sports and can involve any part along the entire length of the muscles and tendons from the hip to the knee. The hamstring origin is found on the part of the pelvis called the ischial tuberosity, which is easily felt as it is the hard bone that we all sit on in our buttocks. The majority of the muscles form a common tendon that attaches in this area. The muscle bellies considered the hamstring muscles are found on the back of the thigh. The hamstrings attach below the knee on the upper tibia and fibula – the two bones that make up the lower leg.
