Pain or No Pain During Hamstring Rehab Exercises (ptinquest.libsyn.com)

• RCT compares pain-free vs. pain-threshold rehab for hamstring strains
• No significant difference in return to sport or reinjury rate
• Clinical implication: individualize pain tolerance during rehab

"This podcast episode discusses a randomized controlled trial by Hickey et al. (2019) comparing pain-free versus pain-threshold rehabilitation for acute hamstring strain injuries. The study investigated whether allowing pain during exercises improves outcomes. Results indicate that pain-threshold rehabilitation may not be more beneficial than pain-free. The episode highlights clinical implications for physiotherapists."
