Hamstrings Masterclass with Nick Van der Horst

Purpose

  • High-level education of health scientists

    Evidence-based prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, and rehabilitation of Hamstrings  injuries

Aim

The acquisition of documented knowledge:

pathophysiology

classification

epidemiology

differential diagnosis

clinical assessment and risk factors

Treatment of the injury from the initial timee to the final return to sports 

Target Audience

The workshop is designed for health scientists(doctors, physical therapists etc), fitness trainers, coaches, and others seeking to enhance and broaden their understanding of hamstrings injury treatment

 

Education method

Speakers

Keynote speaker:

Dr. Nick van der Horst is a sports physiotherapist working in elite football. After working as the head of the medical staff for Go Ahead Eagles Football Club in Netherlands, he was employed by the Dutch national football association KNVB where to primarily be responsible for rehabilitating injured professional football players. At present, Nick is working as the rehabilitation coordinator for PSV Eindhoven. In 2017, Nick obtained his PhD on behalf of his research about the prevention of hamstring injuries in football. As an embedded scientist, he is also involved in research and lecturing about football medicine and physical performance.

Venue

The seminar will be held in Thessaloniki. The details will be announced soon.

Fee

Modern live education(lectures, videos, clinical practice) and interactive real-time practice.

The educational seminar is implemented in small groups of participants and lasts one to two days. It is based on a combination of modern live learning and modern live interactive real-time learning.

Modern life learning concerns theoretical and clinical practice and will include lectures, videos, the interaction between trainers and participants, and clinical and laboratory-practical education.

Modern real-time interactive learning includes the interactive application of therapeutic exercise with demonstration, simulations, and reenactments in real-time scenarios in the rehabilitation area and on the football field.
