Who Don’t Get “Easy” Hamstrings

Complex proximal hamstring cases, without flying blind

Is this you?

This is for physios working with high-demand athletes like dancers, climbers, sprinters, field sport - and for those who have become the local hamstring referral magnet.

You’re not guessing, you know how to treat them. You’re just missing orthopaedic visibility when things get serious.

Common realities:

  • You inherit brutal post-op hamstrings with vague op notes and no real return-to-play criteria.

  • You’re often more current on load and rehab than the surgeon, but have no ortho backup when the case stops behaving.

  • You’re asked to progress a tendon you’ve never actually seen on MRI.

  • You hate the grey zone: unsure whether you should have pushed harder for surgery or stayed conservative.

  • You want an MD who doesn’t panic when tissue is loaded, but also respects red flags you can’t see clinically.

  • Insurance stops, symptoms don’t and there’s no long-term structure beyond “see how it goes.”

  • You’d love to say, “Let’s get one proper hamstring second opinion and a roadmap,” without losing the athlete to a hospital conveyor belt.

If this sounds familiar, the problem isn’t your rehab skill.

It’s the lack of a hamstring-specific orthopaedic layer that understands MRI, surgical thresholds, and the realities of progressive loading, while you keep the athlete, the rehab, and the relationship.

In short, here’s my offer:
