If you're experiencing hamstring pain (from mild irritation and cramps to strains and tears) you might be surprised to find that the root cause of that pain is almost never the hamstrings. The site of pain is almost never the problem and that holds true with the hamstrings.

Hamstring pain is most often caused by one of two things:
1) Reciprocal inhibition issues with the quads - When your quad contracts your hamstring relaxes, and vice versa. If there's an imbalance between these opposing muscle groups (quads and hamstrings) you can end up with pain in your hamstrings. In other words, the root cause of your painful hamstrings might actually be your tight/restricted/overworked quads. The solution: release your quad fascia, and don't massage your hamstrings.

2) Tight/restricted fascia near the hamstrings. This is often restricted fascia in the adductors or the IT band pulling on the hamstring and causing pain and irritation. The solution: Just like before, go to the root (adductor, IT band, or quads) and release the fascia there. And again, please don't massage or beat up your hamstrings... they've been through enough already ;).
