Overcoming Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy

Brodie answers these PHT questions: Sandrine: Two weeks leading to race day I typically stop all lower body strength exercises. That is when I sometimes feel a little ache in the proximal hamstring. Now I do some deadlifts which helped up to a week leading to race day. I know body weight exercises like squats will not help but I want to hear your thoughts about body weight squats leading to race day? Lara: Any issues with strength training quads and glutes while rehabbing pht? Jeff: Does sitting prevent healing from PHT? If I have a desk job with PHT, should I invest in a standing desk? Michelle: For those of us who are recovering from proximal hamstring tendon tears how do we prevent future tears or inflammation? Jason: Do you think some people have a genetic disposition to tendonopathies, I’m currently going through PHT and have had various other tendonopathies throughout my life. Siân: I would love to hear your thoughts on whether some of us are more at risk of tendon issues than others. I read that women are at higher risk when we get to peri/menopause too. Thoughts? What can I do to prevent any more? Patrick: Anything about ischial bursitis/swelling of the sit bone🙏🙏. The constant inflammation is driving me crazy. Louise: I have partial tears but a surgeon said it was my spine, not hamstring. 3 Sports docs don't agree. I just go around the circuit of physio, sports docs etc. I'm about ready to go out of province or country for help. Any suggestions? Fabienne: How come my MRI showed severe tendinitis in hamstring and glute tendons but I never had pain? (Until full avulsion) Maria: Approximately how long does it take to get full strength in your tendon following tenodesis surgery?

The podcast episode features Mark, a competitive masters runner in his sixties, sharing his journey overcoming proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT). We start exploring his initial symptoms, mistakes made, setbacks, and successful recovery methods. Mark's proactive approach to understanding his condition, especially upon receiving a diagnosis, led him to discover Brodie's podcast dedicated to PHT. Mark's injury originated from intense post-race training that exacerbated the PHT. Despite his initial resistance, Mark realized the importance of prioritizing rehab over running, a mental shift essential for recovery. His mistakes included running too much and participating in races prematurely. Gradually, he learned to follow prescribed exercise routines and mastered techniques like the deadlift, which significantly targeted the affected tendon. The conversation emphasizes the mental aspect of recovery, with Mark highlighting the significance of maintaining a routine, even during injury, for both physical and mental well-being. His dedication to sustaining a runner's routine, adjusting workouts, and staying positive played a pivotal role in his successful rehabilitation.
