Aug 7, 2024 · Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy (PHT) describes a condition in which the tendon that connects the hamstring muscles to our pelvis (ischium) become irritated, resulting in pain and limited function.
Mar 18, 2020 · Ischial bursitis exercises typically do not include strengthening — at least not until your symptoms have subsided. These bursa sit between your hamstring tendons and the ischial bone. Performing strengthening exercises increases compression on your already-irritated structures.

A muscle group is commonly known to the public, and often better recognized by the stereotypical, sports medicine distress call of “I just pulled a hammy!”, the hamstring musculature gets a ton of recognition. In an NFL team data publication tracking injuries from 1998 to 2007, hamstring strains were found to be the most common muscle strain and th...
If you didn’t know, your hamstrings are actually a complex of 3 different muscles: the biceps femoris (comprised of both a short head and long head), semitendinosus and semimembranosus. All of the hamstring musculature, with the exception of the short head of the biceps femoris, originate from the ischial tuberosity (6), often referred to as your “...
Tendinopathyoccurs in loaded tendons resulting in decreased exercise tolerance and a reduction in function. Literal changes occur in the tendon structure, resulting in a tendon that is less capable of sustaining repeated tensile load (13). In short — the tendon becomes painful, and it sucks. Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is considered to be inser...
The key to management of all tendinopathies includes load modification and progressive loading, performed within a pain-monitoring framework, to initially reduce pain and later restore function (1). These are the bread and butter of a well-trained sports physical therapist, athletic trainer, strength and conditioning coach, or chiropractor; any of ...
Load modificationinitially includes identification of the tendinopathy, and appreciation that its load capacity has been exceeded. A discussion should be held with the patient (or can take place personally through a training journal) over recent training trends detailing intensity, duration, and overall load. Was there a spike in one of these varia...
Increasing tendon capacity through rehabilitation with gradual tendon loading, more often than not, reduces pain and improves function eventually allowing the patient to return to their hobby or sport (14). Previously, the medical model traditionally would recommend complete rest — we now know that this is far from best practice, despite many clini...
Please keep in mind, that there are many different routes to the successful rehabilitation of proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Rehabilitative specialists often “live in the gray.” There are so many right answers, and so little few wrong, that we all program with slightly different tastes. Generally, after 48 hours of rest following the initial inju...
An isometric exercise is a form of muscle contraction where you build tension in the muscle, but the actual fibers don’t change length. It is generally celebrated in the rehabilitative health care community for its appropriateness in post-surgical neuromuscular re-education and the generalized pain inhibitory response it provides (20). If you’re lo...
So you’re no longer experiencing pain with your isometric programming. That means you’ve generally graduated from hamstring isometrics! That doesn’t mean you can’t continue to utilize them in your programming, but as your tissue capacity increases, so does the level of your programming. We’ll now shift our focus toisotonic exercise. Isotonic contra...
By this point, you’re likely starting to feel pretty good again. However, we haven’t really focused on the positioning you likely found yourself injured in the first place: those deep, end ranges of hip flexion. The goal in this stage remains the same as stage 2: continue improving hamstring strength and encouraging hypertrophy, except now we’re ve...

May 9, 2024 · Your ischial tuberosity is the rounded part of the bone where it attaches to your hamstring tendon. You may also see it called ischio-gluteal bursitis, for the bursas that separate your ischia from your gluteus maximus muscle.
Apr 15, 2019 · Ischial bursitis can result from sitting for long periods on a hard surface, from direct trauma to the area, or from injury to the hamstring muscle or tendon through activities such as running or bicycling.

Jul 8, 2024 · The hamstring muscles flex the knee joint and extend the thigh backward to propel movement. Located at the backs of the legs, the hamstrings are the opposing muscles to the quadriceps. Because the hamstrings originate at the sitting bones, they are naturally stretched while sitting.
