In Part 3 of this special series, Brodie tackles more insightful questions from listeners navigating their PHT recovery journey. With practical advice and personal stories, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways for anyone dealing with chronic hamstring pain.

đź§  Topics Covered:

  • Training other leg muscles during rehab:
    Are squats, leg presses, and calf raises safe? What about creating muscle imbalances?
  • Flare-ups after rehab:
    Are they normal? When should you start worrying?
  • Toughest client experiences:
    Brodie shares the most challenging cases he's worked with—and the common thread between them.
  • Psychological struggles:
    How to shift your mindset when it feels like you’ll never get better.
  • End-stage rehab guidance:
    For those almost fully recovered, how to know what exercises to keep, drop, or progress.
  • Running warm-ups:
    What’s necessary when reintroducing running post-injury?
  • Strength progression pacing:
    How to safely increase weights, reps, or volume—especially for seniors or those easily flared up.
  • Does slower recovery = weaker tendon?
    Brodie breaks down the myths and shares what really influences recovery time.

đź§° Key Takeaways:

  • Keep training unaffected muscles to prevent deconditioning and stay mentally engaged.
  • Flare-ups are learning opportunities—not failures.
  • Progress rehab slowly and smartly—especially if you're prone to setbacks.
  • Your mindset matters. Reframing rehab as your new “sport” can be a game-changer.
  • Progress only one variable at a time—reps, weight, or frequency—not all at once.
  • Recovery time from soreness is multifactorial: nutrition, sleep, age, and stress all play a role.

📚 Brodie Mentions:

  • Book: Rebound by Carrie Jackson Cheadle
    (A great read for injured athletes struggling with identity and motivation.)
