Introduction

At last year’s London International Consensus and Delphi Study on hamstring injuries (Paton et al., 2023) which involved over 112 physicians, physiotherapists, surgeons, scientists, researchers and trainers, a level of agreement was reached on various aspects of managing hamstring injuries. As part of their study 91% of the experts agreed it was “important to assess, treat and prescribe exercises addressing the whole kinetic chain”. The authors go further and discuss a number of lumbopelvic considerations in hamstring injuries.
