Pacey Performance Podcast

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Lecturer in Musculoskeletal & Sports Injury Rehabilitation at Australian Catholic University, Jack Hickey. As well as being a lecturer, Jack is a researcher in the ACU hamstring injury group alongside previous podcast guests David Opar and Anthony Shield. As hamstring injury rates continue to rise, the area of hamstring injury rehab is only going to grow so it was great to get Jack on to give us an update on what the research is telling us and how it can relate to our practice. Hope you enjoy this episode with Jack Hickey. In this episode we discussed...
