These advanced protocols will help you optimize recovery timelines and improve functional outcomes for your patients, from early-stage recovery to return-to-performance.
- Hands-On Exercise Demonstrations: Our expert-led video demonstrations will guide you through specialized exercises designed to strengthen and restore function in the hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf muscles. These practical tutorials provide the tools you need to confidently prescribe and progress exercises in your clinical practice.
- Clinical Case Studies: Work through real-world case studies that will challenge your clinical decision-making. Analyze and apply advanced rehabilitation concepts to complex patient scenarios, ensuring you leave the course with actionable skills.
Why This Course Stands Out
- Expert Instructor with Global Experience: The course is led by Enda King, PhD MSc, an esteemed sports physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach, researcher, and educator. Enda combines his extensive experience working with individual athletes and elite teams across a wide spectrum of sports and disciplines. Currently serving as Head of Elite Performance and Development at Aspetar in Doha, Qatar, Enda works internationally with athletes and professional clubs.

very nice course!
Brilliant course
This course was one of the best professional development courses I have ever been involved in. The content is clear, applicable and intuitive. The level of detail in this course is amazing.
I would recommend this course to anyone who works in rehabilitation.
Excellent, practical and backed with innovative methods for injury prevention and rehabilitation
This course was excellent at breaking down the rehabilitation process of the big 3 (Quadriceps, Hamstrings and lower leg injuries). The content is very practical and applicable to advance your methods of rehabilitation and also to to develop robust methods for injury prevention and building resilience with your athletes. I particularly liked the progression of rehab shown from the acute stage right through to the return to training and performance phase. The exercises and rehab techniques highlight the importance of building structural strength and their progression and integration into more dynamic exercises as they relate to the phases of gait, running cycle and specific movement patterns in multiple planes . All material is supported with evidence based research, a list of further references and practical video demonstrations for you to practice.
Really good course. Much better understanding in Pathomechanics, risk factors and management of rehabilitation.
great course
As a recently graduated physiotherapist working with athletes regularly, this course helped me a lot from assessing to building a rehab program for every individual.
Useful and inspiring
This course is really useful and well made.
If you really can learn all the notions , you’ll be a better physiotherapist for sure.
awesome
the amazing amount off detail Enda gives was a huge Eye opener for me.
Not the regular elearning i was used to. love this!
very nice overview of all the influencial mechanics and rehab options
Thanks for the excellent refresher!
Big 3 Course by Enda King
The presentation is quite evidence based and evidence informed. It is presented in a structured manner. The author has put lots of effort. It is an application based course.
Excellent course, incredibly knowledgeable
This is a fantastic course, with loads of information that is very applicable to daily practice.
I think this course has offered me the most in terms of learning and professional development out of all the courses I’ve done so far.
The set-up of the course is really well-structured. The videos are clear, the information in the text is evidence-based, very in-depth, and at the end of each unit, you can find further readings for anyone who wants to dive even deeper into the material.
I would highly recommend this course!
An excellent course on the rehabilitation and management of lower extremity muscle & tendon injuries! Enda covers serious range in this course with lessons on muscle & tendon physiology all the way to late stage rehab and discussions around power & reactive strength development. This course is comprehensive and covers many of the overlooked aspects of muscle and tendon rehab. Enda highlights foundational rehabilitation concepts in an easy to digest manner that is guaranteed to influence the way you practice.
Big 3
The course is very well structured, the anatomical reminders are relevant, each stage of rehabilitation is well detailed and the videos of the exercises make it easy to see and understand what needs to be monitored and done.
In my opinion, the last phases of rehabilitation are the most interesting, as they are rarely covered. This helps to reduce the gap between the load at the end of treatment and the load of a return to sport.
Review the big 3
Nice and in-depth course. For me a bit heavy on the phsiology, but the practical aplication has its place in this course. I would recommend the course to a co-worker.
Very thorough and Excellent job using Evidence based Practice
Enda does a great job with this course and dives into as much detail as you would like throughout. Excellent job of keeping the most up-to-date information in the presentation. Takes time to get through it all, but very worth it
Yoran Deleu
Well structured course from the theoretical background to clear practical exercises needed for rehabilitation!
Review of THE BIG 3
I experienced the course as very well-structured, maintaining a clear thread throughout the entire program. The content is clearly based on updated evidence, providing numerous valuable tips and tricks for implementing rehabilitation of THE BIG 3.
What I had wished for to be different is to include more recorded lectures, as there is currently a considerable amount of test-based information.
Very structured, thanks
Very structured, covering everything from anatomy to injury to rehab and movement patterns. Quizes were a bit annoying after every chapter. Still enjoyed it, refreshing course to stay sharp in my rehab plans.
Very detailed course
I found the course to be very well structured in logical and clear steps. A nice balance between evidence and practical tools! I think they do a great job throughout the course of making it clear that injuries and recovery are both biomedical and psychosocial. In doing so, they highlight the complexity of the human being and discuss many of the risk factors and pitfalls/points of attention during the rehabilitation of the big 3!
Prima informatieve cursus
Course Summary
I thought the course presented great content and was well organized. The format moving from general to injury specific was easy to follow. It could have been helpful to have a few more narrative sections, especially for the Case studies. Being in a High Performance setting, the course also allowed me to get some confirmation bias while at the same time providing the foundational understanding of tissue biology. The exercises and progressions also provided an alternative for the clinician and performance specialist.
Informative and Efficient
A very usefull course as an sportsphysio. Focussing on all important factors in injury risk, prevention, rehab and more!
BIG 3
Interessant en meteen toepasbaar in de praktijk!
Awesome info
I really enjoyed the course. Could not recommend it enough!
revalidatie onderste exstremiteiten
zeer nuttig om je inzicht te vergroten bij revalidatie van sporters met klachten aan de onderste extremiteiten
Worth the investment!
This was my first online experience with courses. It was a very comprehensive and complete course. Management of tendon and muscle conditions in the lower limb became very clear in a way that no stone remained unturned.
Fantastic course on the topic of muscle and tendon injury
The course does a great job of summarizing the research in the field and Enda provides clinical expertise along the way. A must-do course for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of muscle and tendon injuries.
GREAT COURSE
The course is very informative – a lot of knowledge, exercises, tipps, a great structure,…
I can highly recommend the course! 🙂
Perfect course
Perfect course. Provides a comprehensive overview of diagnosis, prevention, and evidence-based rehabilitation of ‘the big 3’. Thanks!
