#11 - What’s new in hamstring injuries with Dr. Nicol van Dyk
About this episode
In this episode of Physio Explained we covered the assessment and treatment of hamstring tears with physiotherapist Dr. Nicol Van Dyk. We covered how to assess a hamstring tear, including the relevance of palpation and strength testing. We also discussed what to include in our strength programs from Nordics to early eccentrics to return to running.
Nicol van Dyk is a physiotherapist and clinical researcher with the Irish Rugby Football Union. In 2018 Nicol completed his PhD on hamstring injuries. During this time Nicol was a physiotherapist at the Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital.
