This course will discuss hamstring injuries and prevention techniques and the steps and phases of return to play protocols. According to a systematic review, by the age of fifteen, 50% of them will have reported back pain. However, it is very hard to tell what is causing the back pain because most of them will never follow up suggesting that over time the pain goes away. The course will discuss core injuries and how best to treat and enhance performance. Lastly, a live spine/core exam will show attendees various different ways to test clinically and what to look for when presented in the office.
