Derek Hansen’s approach to rehab is brutally simple — and incredibly effective. In this episode, we explore why sprinting is one of the most powerful tools in the rehab toolbox — especially for hamstrings, achilles tendons, and post-op ACL patients. Derek unpacks his famous 10x10 sprint protocol, the science behind tissue adaptation and nervous system rewiring, and how loading athletes in smart, deliberate ways allows for faster, safer returns to sport. We also cover why rehab needs to move beyond isolated exercises and machine-based work — and how movement quality, repetition, and stress exposure lead to long-term success.
