Comprehensive hamstring rehabilitation in clinical practice

Over the past decade, Nick has developed a systematic approach to rehabilitation while working in the AFL. This approach relies on benchmark data to steer exercise progressions and facilitate return to play. In this workshop, Nick will present straightforward and effective rehabilitation benchmarks specifically tailored for athletes recovering from hamstring injuries. These benchmarks are based on elite field sport practices but have been adapted to suit the practical needs of busy in-clinic practitioners, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

Attendees can expect to receive clear guidelines indicating an athlete’s readiness to resume activities such as running, kicking, and engaging in high-speed running. In considering these guidelines, practitioners can confidently guide their patients through each stage of recovery, from injury to full functional capacity. This workshop aims to equip participants with practical strategies and tools that can be seamlessly integrated into clinical practice, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to athletes recovering from hamstring injuries.
