Hamstring Solutions: Inside the clinical mind of a highly sought after sports physiotherapist

Event Detail

Hamstring Solutions: Inside the clinical mind of a highly sought after sports physiotherapist

Despite decades of research and intervention, hamstring incidents have not decreased due to their complex, multifactorial nature. Join us for an in-depth session with Nick Cross, a leading titled sports physiotherapist, exercise physiologist, and sports scientist, as he delves into his clinical assessment methods for classifying hamstring injuries and his comprehensive approach to rehabilitating athletes back to high performance levels.

Drawing from his extensive education, including a Doctor of Physiotherapy, a Masters in Sports Physiotherapy, a Masters in Exercise Rehabilitation, and a degree in Sports Science, Nick will practically demonstrate how he has successfully returned world champions and Olympians to elite standards. He will also touch on clinical cases involving AFL and A-League footballers, providing valuable insights from his experience with top-tier athletes.

Nick will talk through the biomechanics and myokinematics involved in hamstring injuries, offering a detailed exploration of these crucial factors in injury and recovery. This will assist clinicians in thinking laterally, encouraging them to adopt a holistic approach rather than focusing solely on the hamstring. By understanding the broader biomechanical and myokinematic context, clinicians can develop more effective, comprehensive rehabilitation strategies.

This event will take place at Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine Clinic, ensuring a hands-on, practical experience that highlights the latest techniques and methodologies in sports injury rehabilitation. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field and enhance your understanding and skills in managing complex hamstring injuries.
