Following on from episode 3, in this episode of The Go-To Physio, I share with you a test that I use all the time in the clinic to assess hamstring load tolerance. If you’ve listened to episode 3, you’ll know how important the hamstring is for glute function, so this test is very useful to me to ensure my athlete’s and patient’s are safe to return to sprinting, running, and lifting.
This test is just a small part of my overall objective assessment and I use the findings to link with the other tests to form a hypothesis of what the problem is. It’s not a magic “find all” RCT tested technique, but it gives me very useful information to guide my treatment plan.
