Hamstring Overview. The hamstrings are a collection of three muscles located in the back of the thigh that are responsible for bending or flexing the knee.he hamstring muscle fibers gradually become tendon fibers near the knee to attach to bone. One can appreciate the thick tendon bands when feeling behind the knee joint. The hamstring muscle is balanced by the quadriceps muscles that are located on the front of the thigh and cause the knee to extend.
The hamstrings are in a connected line of pull from the pelvis via the sacrotuberous ligament structure to the sacrum, up the back extensor muscles all the way over the skull to the eyebrows. Also in the opposite direction, the hamstrings are part of a line of pull that connects down to the plantar surface of the feet. The hamstrings and muscles of the back body create a line of pull that keeps us upright and the tension in the back keeps the shock absorbing curves strung.
