Pain in the back of the thigh, also known as hamstring pain, is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. The hamstring muscles consist of three main muscles that enable movements such as bending the knee and extending the hip. Causes of hamstring pain are varied and can include muscle strains, overuse from sports activities, tendonitis and injuries such as muscle fiber tears. Symptoms often include pain in the back of the thigh, which can radiate to the buttocks or the back of the knee, as well as stiffness and limited mobility.

Information
General information on the hamstring
The hamstrings are a group of three muscles on the back of the thigh, consisting of the biceps femoris muscle, the semitendinosus muscle and the semimembranosus muscle. The interaction of these muscles is responsible for flexing the knee and extending the hip and play an essential role in activities such as running and jumping. The hamstrings connect the pelvis to the lower leg and are surrounded by a strong tendon and ligament structure that ensures stability and flexibility. Well-trained and stretched hamstring muscles are crucial for preventing injury and maintaining leg mobility and strength.

How does K-Active® Tape help for hamstring pain?
K-Active® Tape provides targeted support for hamstring pain by stabilizing and relieving the affected area. The elastic properties of the tape allow it to adapt to the movements of the muscles without restricting freedom of movement. This supports the muscles and reduces the strain on the hamstrings. The gentle lifting of the skin by the tape promotes blood circulation and lymph flow, which reduces swelling and inflammation. At the same time, the tape stimulates the sensory receptors, which helps to reduce the perception of pain. This multifunctional effect of K-Active® tape helps to speed up the healing process and prevent re-injury.
