Hamstring tears are one of the most common sporting injuries we see at Mount Lawley Physiotherapy and Podiatry. They are particularly prevalent in sports involving high speed running, such as the football codes. They also have a very large recurrence rate, meaning once you have had one you a far more likely to do it again.
The good news is that Nordic Hamstring Curls (see video) have been scientifically proven to reduce your risk of sustaining a tear by over 50%.
This 10-week program can be used by people with recurrent issues or if you just want to reduce your risk.
