I had a patient in the other day with a hamstring strain. He'd been talking to a friend of his in Australia who plays high level rugby. Apparently, they are strengthening muscle strains Day1-2 post injury. Is this right? I asked the patient all about it, but he was vague. Seemed to think they strengthen the injured muscle asap. Does this sound right to people in Sports physio in Australia? Is there any evidence supporting it and what is the rationale behind it?
I'm a bit our the scene over there and it sounds like something they're trialling, or perhaps they're strengthening all around the injury?
Hope someone has some information.
Thanks
Miffy
