understanding more of their training regimen, obviously the amount of play that they have, there's definitely more mileage on these guys.

I don't, I think it'd be tough for me to sit here and just be like, well, why does the NBA have an uptick?

I'd have, I don't know.

I'd have to really look and see, is it, or is it just happening to more high profile players?

So it's more, we're more aware of it.

Maybe I'm, you know, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I mean, the number one predictor of a hamstring strain is have you had a previous hamstring strain?

I mean, that is number one.

And then how quickly you're coming back from the hamstring is also really concerning because there's a high rate of re-injury.

I see this all the time.

And so kind of to our earlier conversation is really understanding the diagnosis.

What kind of hamstring strain is it?

What kind of treatment does that hamstring strain need?

And then what are some objective measures that you would want to go through before you ever let that player get back to the court?

And there's so many multifactorial things that lead to the hamstring and it's the whole chain.

It's from the ankle all the way up through the back.

And so those things are always so concerning because when they come back, that risk of re-injury is so high in those initial weeks after.

And then when the hamstring heals,

It never heals with normal muscle.

I was looking at a hamstring strain today on an NFL player.
