Nordic Hamstring exercisesreduce hamstring injuries by50%

The mountain of evidence that Nordic Hamstring Exercises are a

crucial part of preventing hamstring injuries has been re-inforced

by a recent paper published in the British Journal of Sports

Medicine. Nicol Van Dyk and her colleagues conducted a meta-

analysis of all the current literature and found that including

Nordic Hamstring exercises to a conditioning program (twice a

week as part of a warm-up) reduced hamstring injury by 51%

through a season.

In real terms, that's 4-6 weeks of playing time not missed by

performing a simple warm up exercise.

Previous hamstring injury doubles your risk of injury, for a number

of reasons, one of which is incomplete rehabilitation. They simply

don't just recover with rest or an off season. At Kinetic Sports

Physiotherapy, we are able to assess your hamstring injury profile

using our Nordbord, providing you with a graphical summary of

your hamstring strength. We run training sessions where you can

utilise the Nordbord as a real-time feedback tool to get the most

out of your workout.
