 In this episode, I sit down with Kirsten—Melbourne local, personal trainer, and someone who knows her way around the gym—yet still found herself stuck in a long and frustrating battle with proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT). 

Like many runners and active individuals, Kirsten spent months going in circles. Despite doing all the “right” things—rest, isometrics, backing off training—her symptoms kept returning. Sitting became unbearable, training was inconsistent, and the mental toll started to build. 

But everything changed when she shifted her approach. 

This conversation dives into the exact turning point in her rehab—what worked, what didn’t, and the key mindset shifts that helped her go from constant pain… to full confidence in her training again.
