They can be challenging and frustrating to treat because of the high recurrence rate. Hamstring strains account for 12-16% of all injuries in athletes1-5 with a reinjury rate reported as high as 22-34%.5-7 Furthermore, recurrent hamstring strains have been shown to result in significantly more time lost than first time hamstring strains. (Brooks, Woodruff, Wright and Donatelli, 2005) In order to decrease this rate we must first examine the potential risk factors for injury and then address them accordingly. While there is a myriad of studies focusing on risk factors for hamstring strains, there is a paucity of high-level evidence with regards to the identification of these risk factors as well as rehabilitation with an emphasis on reducing the risk of reinjury. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to examine the risk factors contributing to such a high recurrence rate and propose a unique rehabilitation strategy addressing these factors in order to decrease the rate of
