Today, we feature one of our long-term clients who recently returned to clinic for a hamstring injury.
Although her rehabilitation took several months, this was essential as she is an explosive athlete who trains at an intermediate level.
In a sport like wrestling, where lifting, pushing, scrambling, and flexibility are required in very quick bursts, and endurance in grapples can test one’s patience, a full and complete rehabilitation for her hamstring injury is non-negotiable.
Moreover, contact sports carry a higher risk of accidents during both training and competition. Prehab also plays an important role in reducing fear and rebuilding confidence when returning to sport at the same level as before injury.
The full Nordic curl can be too intense for many people to perform safely. However, we have regressed it into an entry-level variation that most people can consider.
Isometric exercises allow for maximal muscle engagement while reducing the risk of re-injury before progressing into the full eccentric Nordic curl.
