Clinical Case - Recurring Hamstring Strains

In this clinical case we unpack clinical cases just like we see them on our face sheets. In each episode, we apply the five pillars of Athletic Performance Therapy to guide our thought process, share our working hypotheses, and highlight the evaluation strategies and educational tools that shape our care. Today, we’re diving into the case of an adolescent athlete with a history of recurring hamstring strains—a frustrating and all-too-common issue in youth sports. We’ll talk through what we’re looking for, the questions that steer our assessment, and how we build a plan to not just rehab the injury, but address the root causes and prevent recurrence.
