This episode covers the beliefs behind stretching and when it is safe and not safe with proximal hamstring tendinopathy.

Stretching was once a common treatment option for this condition but as our understanding has changed, so has the management.

But a lot of people with PHT need to return to stretching. Whether it is a pilates or yoga class or stretching without their chosen sport or physical activity. In addition, stretching the hamstring is a part of everyday life. Bending forward to put on shoes or picking something up off the floor is required but can sometimes cause discomfort.

So, when is stretching okay for proximal hamstring tendinopathy?

Charlie has been managing proximal hamstring tendinopathy after completing a marathon block in 2020. Pain originally started down the hamstring but eventually worked its way into the sitting bone.

Initial treatment attempts included shockwave, strength training and steroid injections however PHT persisted. 

Through dedication and willingness to understand this condition, Charlie finally turned a corner and shares all of his insights on today's podcast.

Brodie answers your proximal hamstring tendinopathy questions:

1.) Does it mean it is improving if you are progressing with the weights but sitting pain still remains painful?

2.) While strengthening seems to be the primary mode to rehab. What, if any, is evidence on modalities like stretching, foam rolling, massage gun for temporary relief from pain so we can do the strengthening protocols?

3.) What are the best warm-ups and warm-down stretches when you are easing yourself back into running after a PHT Dx?

Brodie answers your proximal hamstring tendinopathy questions:

1.) I am managing to get back to running and close to my previous pace, do you ever recover from this injury and do you have any more good news stories?

2.) How effective is shock-wave therapy & PRP to treat PHT?

3.) I've had PRP 3 times, PT, Tenjet, growth factors and wondering are there any Drs that do surgery to remove the micro-tears? 

I can find Drs that do surgery for complete tears but not these micro-tears that I have?

In today's Q&A Brodie answers the three following questions from podcast listeners:

"I'm a marathon runner and I've been suffering from PHT for 3 years. Progressive loading exercises didn't work and eventually, I gave up. Nothing seemed to work. I've now started running again building up very slowly (started with 3x1 minute running and a minute walk between). I can now run 3.5 miles pain-free. In your opinion is this something that could continue to work for me and has anyone ever recovered from PHT in this way?"

“Is there any technique to build LL muscle with this tendinopathy? PHT about 3 years. Finally, a year ago I found a PT which made me workout through pain (at no more than 4-5) with controlled movements, which has helped me be able to squat, deadlift, and some other movements at 75%-85% of my 1RM, which has improved my body quite a lot. I still find limits in what I can do or how much stress I can put into my workout. So please some advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated!”

“Would love to hear more about rehabbing PHT while training for a race. I'm scheduled to run Boston in April and have been rehabbing since December 3rd. I haven't yet introduced speed back in but slowly building up mileage. Trying to decide if I should back out of the race or if I should run it and just take it easy. Just don't want to jeopardize my progress”.

Nathan Carlson is a US-based Physical Therapist and co-host of the Runners Zone podcast. Brodie and Nathan talk about the importance of developing independence during a runner's rehabilitation and how a therapist needs to nature the independent process.

This is important for every PHT sufferer to know. Some therapists may misdirect rehabilitation toward a short-term, dependant strategy, resulting in high consultation frequency & poor evidence-based approaches.

Nathan talks about hands-on, passive treatments and when they are validated versus exercise-based rehabilitation. He also discusses the importance of empowering the runner through this process.

Finally, Brodie and Nathan discuss red flags to look out for to see if you're on the wrong rehabilitation path.

Inspired by a chapter in the upcoming run smarter book. Brodie chats about the spread of misinformation and misconceptions. 

Searching on the internet, it is common to come across FADs, gimmicks, false claims ad outdated advice. In addition, asking for advice on social media results in a wide variety of responses. Some that contradict one another. But why?

Brodie covers 6 reasons why he believes this exists.
