Hamstring Injury

 

Hamstring strains are one of the most common injuries we see in local footballers, soccer players, runners and gym-goers around Bicton and Fremantle. At OnField Physiotherapy, we provide sports-specific hamstring injury assessment and rehabilitation, using our on-site gym to guide you from early pain management through to high-speed running and return to sport in Perth’s southern suburbs.

Common Hamstring Injuries We Treat

We see hamstring injuries across all levels of sport, from weekend warriors to WAFL-level athletes. Common presentations include:

  • Acute hamstring strains and tears during sprinting or kicking

  • Recurrent hamstring strains that keep coming back each season

  • High-speed running–related hamstring injuries

  • High hamstring tendinopathy in runners and field athletes

Our Hamstring Rehab Approach at OnField Physiotherapy

Our approach to hamstring injury rehabilitation is built around three key principles:

  • Accurate diagnosis and load management
    We assess the severity and location of your hamstring injury, identify contributing factors such as strength deficits or running mechanics, and design a clear plan to manage pain and load in the early stages.

  • Progressive strength and conditioning in our on-site gym
    Using our gym facilities in Bicton, we focus on eccentric hamstring strength, hip and trunk control, and sport-specific conditioning. This includes exercises such as Nordic hamstring curls, deadlifts and running drills tailored to your sport.

  • Running progressions and return-to-sport testing
    We guide you through a structured running and sprint progression, change-of-direction drills and sport-specific skills. Before returning to competition, we use objective criteria and testing to reduce your risk of re-injury.

Who We Help in Bicton, Fremantle and Perth’s Southern Suburbs

We commonly work with:

  • WAFL and community footballers in Bicton, Melville and Fremantle

  • Soccer and rugby players from local clubs in Perth’s southern suburbs

  • Runners training along the Swan River and around East Fremantle and Attadale

  • Active adults and gym-goers managing recurring hamstring tightness or pain

Preventing Hamstring Re-Injury

Recurrent hamstring strains are often linked to incomplete rehab, inadequate strength or a rushed return to high-speed running. As sports physiotherapists with experience in WAFL and professional football environments, we place a strong focus on:

  • Building long-term hamstring and hip strength

  • Improving sprint mechanics and change-of-direction control

  • Integrating hamstring conditioning into your regular training program

  • Providing clear guidance on warm-ups and in-season maintenance
