Hamstrings

The hamstrings are a group of three muscles located at the back of your thigh. They connect your pelvis to your shin bones and are essential for bending your knees and straightening your hips when you move, such as walking, running, or jumping. These muscles also help stabilize your hips and knees, playing a key role in maintaining proper posture and balance. Hamstrings work together with other muscles to enable smooth, controlled movement and are important for athletic performance and daily activities. Proper strength and flexibility in the hamstrings help prevent injuries and improve overall lower-body function.
