Presentation description
Hamstring injuries remain one of the biggest challenges in elite sport, with high-grade strains often leading to prolonged absences and increased risk of re-injury. In this must-watch presentation, Fearghal Kerin takes a deep dive into the latest evidence-based strategies for rehabilitating intramuscular tendon (IMT) and T-junction injuries—some of the most complex hamstring pathologies. Through real-world case studies, progressive rehab frameworks, and exclusive rehab videos, this session breaks down why traditional approaches often fail, how to optimize loading strategies, and the critical role of eccentric and isometric interventions in restoring function. Fearghal also shares insights on alternative imaging techniques, activation deficits, and practical solutions to accelerate return to play while mitigating re-injury risks. If you’re working with athletes recovering from hamstring injuries, this is an essential guide to applying cutting-edge research in practice.
