Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 1:00 PM EDT / 10:00 AM PDT

You asked, we listened! We’re excited to offer a daytime webinar session to support different schedules. This webinar is offered twice (evening and daytime); please register for only one that fits your schedule. You will only receive CE for one.

Hamstring strains remain one of the most common and recurrent injuries in sport, particularly in high-speed and field-based athletes. Despite advances in rehabilitation research, reinjury rates remain high often due to incomplete integration of evidence-based practice with movement-focused clinical reasoning.

This advanced webinar is designed for sports physical therapists and athletic trainers seeking to elevate their evaluation and intervention strategies for hamstring strain rehabilitation. Participants will examine the latest evidence from systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines and translate that evidence into practical, performance-driven intervention strategies. Emphasis will be placed on integrating research-informed loading principles with systematic movement evaluation, including lumbopelvic control, regional interdependence, sprint mechanics, and kinetic chain contributions to hamstring strain.

Through applied case examples and practical intervention demonstrations, attendees will learn how to move beyond isolated muscle treatment toward a comprehensive, movement-based rehabilitation framework. The course will focus on optimizing outcomes, enhancing athletic performance, and reducing reinjury risk through advanced clinical reasoning and evidence integration.

Participants will leave with actionable strategies to immediately apply in high-demand athletic environments and a structured decision-making model to guide rehabilitation progression and return-to-play planning.

Learning Objectives

  • Interpret current epidemiological data to identify incidence and recurrence trends of hamstring strains across sport types and levels of competition
  • Prioritize clinical practice guidelines to enhance clinical decision-making following a hamstring strain
  • Create neuromuscular re-education techniques to correct dysfunction associated with hamstring strains
  • Integrate principles of regional interdependence into a comprehensive assessment strategy for athletes with hamstring strains
  • Assess lumbopelvic control, trunk mechanics, and kinetic chain contributions to hamstring strain injuries
  • Develop an injury prevention plan that integrates strength, neuromuscular control, trunk stabilization, and agility to reduce risk for future hamstring strains
