How I BEAT Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy: Runner's Story

[@dennisaaguilar]

I had the same injury on my right leg. I couldn't run for almost 3 months because the pain wouldn't go Way and got worst when I ran. But after every injury I come back better, stronger and faster. Today I hit two new P.R. Longest run 20 miles, 2:49:52, pace 8:28/mi and half marathon 1:47:28. Love your videos. They give me a lot of insight on how to train better.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Great hope in this comment!

[@dennisaaguilar]

@@SethJamesDeMoor Thank you. I started watching your channel a month ago. I watch your videos everyday now once I get home from work. I am 39 years old and hope that one day I can be doing Marathons at my best pace which I am still figuring out. I love the mystery, the process and reaching new goals every week. So far my best 5k is 20:52 pace 6:39/mi and I did that this week.

[@patrickdriscoll]

How did you overcome this brutal condition?

[@mattbillington]

Had this exact injury at the start of this year, 2022. All I can say is strength train, strength train, strength train. It helped so much and have since PB’d in 5k, Half and Marathon due to the increase strength in the lower body. There is light at the end of the tunnel

[@greganikin7003]

Funny thing there is no scientific evidence of strength training helping avoid trauma.

[@anumakinen974]

@@mattbillington I have this condition, but actually I think mainly from strength training and stretching. Unless it started two years ago when I did some running. It’s a bit discouraging for me to hear that I should strengthen the muscles, because I have been doing that for ten years. I’m also sad about having to take a break from heavy lifting and do just body weight training. But I’m motivated to get rid of the pain I have had on and off for ages. Just wanted to say don’t think you could have necessarily prevented getting this condition if you had done more strength training. It happens, we work on rehab and move on. I only got the diagnosis last week so I’m just starting to take it all in.

[@astolzy]

It hit me in January of 2020. Just like you, I thought it was a sore hamstring, and tried "just stretching" for a month or two, and then even saw my doc to be sure nothing was torn or pulled. He told me to rest it. So I did, for almost 3 weeks, then started running again cuz I was going crazy (start of Covid). I called it my "cranky hamstring" and it stayed lingering in the background for well over a year, close to 1.5 years even. Like you, sitting was the worst! Finally I did enough research and found articles about "high hamstring tendinopathy" - realized that's what I was dealing with. Those articles also recommended loading the muscle and strengthening the hamstrings, glutes and hips. So that's what I started doing. I had been shying away from loading it, thinking it would make it worse (SMH!). So I reversed direction and started loading it and lifting heavy again with both legs: deadlifts, single leg Romanian deadlifts, glute bridges (ugh, my nemesis!), and lots and lots and lots of leg lifts in all directions. Oh, and using KT tape did help it feel better while I was active/ running. It's been GONE now for most of 2022, woo HOO!! The only time it gets cranky again is if I sit too much after running... oh, and long car rides (ouch!).

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

NICE!!! Wow, I can relate so much to this! Thanks for sharing. We got this!

[@mattcarpenter4122]

Think this video will get a lot+ of views. I've been battling this for well over 2 years...man what a doozy of an injury! You are spot on Seth...tendons love LOAD. This is the only solution. You have to progressively keep doing more (strength work) and the moment you back off, it comes back! Took me a long time to figure this out...good luck to all those battling it too. Don't give up!!!

[@denishamarie7667]

Ugh I'm trying it seems like it's just back to square one... I need an mei but Im pretty sure I have PHT my worries are hat it becomes permanent.

[@susanrose8758]

Thanks for the video! I have just had PHT diagnosed- haven’t been able to run last 3 months. Have started the PT now and feeling more hopeful having read your story.

[@patrickdriscoll]

How has your recovery been?

[@patricksharkey7458]

Get started , iv had it 13 months , as I have been to inconsistent with the gym

[@ClarkKasheta]

I never had an injury like this, but I watch these videos to learn the principles and keep them in my mental bank, because I'm sure I'll need them some day.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

wooohoooooo! happy it helps clark

[@SunnyCurwenator]

YEEEEES the video I never knew I was waiting for! May 2020 was as fit as I have ever been, then I started training for a 5k pb, I over did it and injured the area you're talking about. It's never been the same since, I feel it now just walking around the house! Shockwave therapy worked really well but I didn't do any strengthening so when we stopped after a couple of months, it came back. So, going to try these exercises. Thank you Seth!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

you're welcome!!! we're in this together!

[@yalokim5264]

Shoot, that must be the same for me since March! I'll speak about it with my doc. I got to get rid of it finally! Good video Seth. Thanks

[@shannonsides6017]

Hi Sunny! I remember when that happened! Tendons are so frustrating bc muscles can tear and heal, bones can break and heal, but tendons are like rubber bands and if they lose their elastic, it’s hard to resolve the pain. I have that with my post tib tendon

[@mariamarino138]

Thank God for your post, as I was going to try the shockwave therapy !!!

[@ceclay1]

I’m 51 and have had the injury for 4 months and just figured out what it is. I’m just learning what to do about it now. I hope I can overcome this. It’s quite aggravating! 😢 Thanks for the video and perspective. I’m glad you made it through. I just wonder how long it’s going to take to heal.

[@Blockchain778]

Hey how are you now ?

[@mc603]

I've had PHT several times over my 11 yr running career. Like another viewer said, I dreaded car trips even to the grocery store & could not make long trips. PT has always helped but I never felt it completely knocked the PHT out. About 2 months ago I started hamstring curls, which is the first time in my life I have done any hamstring exercise, outside of PT. But I can run, so I have nada to complain about.

[@rigobertomartinez3986]

Long time dealing with PHT. My personal trainer suggested the leg adductor and abducter machines and that has been a game changer for me. I am able to sit more without pain.

[@salvy131]

Amazing so glad you gave great advise

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annestrock4917]

I actually got this injury 20 years ago (before I took up running )demonstrating a straddle jump on the trampoline while coaching gymnastics. As a runner now, it rears its ugly head occasionally. It's almost always related to me overstretching splits with the kids when I'm coaching( the elasticity is not what it use to be at almost 60!) Your description of it is exactly what I've experienced.I remember dreading getting into the car to drive! I do alot of hamstring strengthening exercises but have really learned that I've got to be super careful about how I stretch that area!

[@donaldodonaldo1242]

It's like you are actually me the way you described your pht! Thank you thank you Seth...in the very beginning stages of healing and I love your positivity...it has been a very depressing injury for me as a life long runner (70 yes old).

[@johnbrasier5144]

Hi Seth, great video. Nordic curls knocked it out for me. I can do more harder efforts now without worrying about my hammies. I’ve been working on the eccentric lowering phase as I cannot do a full rep yet. 3-4 sets of 5 reps at the moment. Knees over toes guy describes it best on you tube

[@IndianaNaturalDog]

How did you end up progressing the nordic as far as weekly frequency?

[@MrKingamaziah]

[@ed-gn6kl]

glad i stumbled on this video. got excruciating pain in my left hamstring especially when sitting. As i sit longer, it radiates down my entire leg. It sucks. The only time i have relief is when im actually exercising (tennis, running, boxing etc) because it warms up. Will do these strengthening exercises going forward

[@gerardquinn9469]

I have it and this video is very useful I must say. I had shockwave therapy and this really helped the recovery. I can still feel it today but will start this type of exercises you recommend ...

[@Davidparle71]

Static loading isometrics got me started and i can now painlessly lie on my back and lift off the ground with a straight single leg on a step. I now mix movement in with curls and hip bridge work. Third month into physio and running intermittently on gentle hills. Its gradual be patient...i think my running will be a lot better coming out of this injury

[@kippmajors]

I got it now. I do home strength and hiit workouts. Mornings I can barely walk. I’ve been doing exercises proscribed by PT based on assumption it was periformis syndrome just to literally help me move. Can do much at all in way of usual activists. Driving or sitting in cars etc kills me. On NSAIDs to help with pain. Hopefully can do some of this strength work but right now I have to slowly roll off a bed to not antagonise the area and slowly lower myself to lying down. Had it bad 6 weeks now. Hindsight it was there 4 months ago but I worked through the pain. Here’s hoping for hope!

[@Blockchain778]

Hey (: how are you now ?

[@richborrero9363]

The hamstring is a two joint muscle-crossing the knee and crossing the hip. I have a feeling that the dead lift helped alleviate your sitz bone issue, which is more a hip hinge movement pattern. The standing hamstring curl is more of a knee flexion.

[@GuruNithish-l7x]

Sir Your golden word tendon likes load, Tendon likes to work .but Tendon don't likes compression and stretching 😊 perfect bro

[@MrDaanram]

I've had this for a year and a half now. Tried all those excercises, deadlift 100 KG etc. Finally to the point where I am sick of it and will get a jab to help me fix it hopefully

[@karenk9404]

Have you made any progress?

[@87Hadley]

I never even considered that the short head of the biceps femoris is only activated when doing leg curls or knee flexion... I've been neglecting knee flexion exercises for more knee extension hip hinging exercises for the past year and a half.... I thank God that my gym as this hamstring curl machine and the kneeling hamstring curl machine, I'll be adding those to my Monday and Wednesday workouts asap!

[@CAIrondad]

Great to see you back! Woo Hoo!!!!! DGR, baby!!!😎❤️😜

[@markjeter6117]

I had this injury WAY back in 1995 on my left hamstring. I remember I was in speed skating training but decided to go out to a local HS track and do 400m tempos on a somewhat colder than normal Nov day (like 20 deg). Being that I was already at a high workload It makes sense that the tendon just got tired. It wasn’t the muscle or tightness because of the cold as I thought I sort of trained through it, not out of wisdom, but ignorance. I thought it was a hamstring muscle strain but I remember for weeks I could never “stretch it out”. Because I was doing a regular circuit weight program, along with skating a lot as matter of course, it sort of got half better and then the season ended. I had reduced mobility and it was noticeable on the video tape of my last season races -my recovery bend on the straightaway on that leg was less than on the good leg. Much like the running recovery motion. The off season rest and continued hamstring curl exercises “fixed” it and it sort of went away. Now it makes sense and was probably PHT! Thanks for solving the mystery! I now do PREHAb with a medium band much like the last machine you showed. I can balance and do it or gently hold a table or desk to keep stable. 2x 10 daily to keep those tendons stimulated!

[@brettfromm4418]

Oh yes, thank you!!! Now i know that this is exactly what I am dealing with right now as i am trying to start my training block for the Chicago Marathon. I dont know if I'll be ready as I'm pulling way back with my running. Today I'm starting with the resistance band and then I need to get to the gym. Hopefully I'll still get to see you in Chicago! Onward and upward 🥴

[@steveflor9942]

Hi Seth, Pretty sure I'm going through the same thing, on the same side! In August, had to stop running a few weeks. Painful to sit on my left perch bone. In calmed down, but never went away. A light, dull ache as I sit writing this. Thanks so much for this video. Will definitely try these exercises.

[@michaelwheeler5691]

Did you manage to get the ache to go away?

[@ImperfectAnalysis]

Amazing, Thanks for the insight. Had this injury for 2 years...time another attempt to cure!!

[@XXXENOWRAITHXX]

I started having issues with this 5-6 years ago during my track season. Took a few years off and have gotten back into running and it started coming back as I was getting into better shape and getting faster. It really only bother's me when trying to do speed session below 6:30 mile pace. Easy runs aren't much of an issue. I think It is about time to do some PT and get it sorted.

[@AbleHammer]

Excellent machine the leg curl. Ironically I just started using it. I found out My hammies are weak😮. I call it active recovery 😊

[@desertrose4475]

I love what you said about tendons like work - that's what my doctor said too. She said I have to strengthen my hamstrings. After seeing this video - I think it's starting to sink in. Thank you for your story. I'm going to get to work. 😉

[@Blockchain778]

Hey (: how are you ?

[@ivanastojanovic3427]

I had this problem for the past year. It took me long time to ask for help. Did a lot of streching which just made it worse. Fortunately I did go to the doctor and got pleanty of help by physical therapist. The best exercis for me was while lying down on my stomach, legs a litle bit spreaded, knees bent squeezing pilow or a roler placed between heels. Hold that preasure for 30 seconds and let go for double the time. 5 reps at least once a day helped the most. Unfortunately neck injurie (diskus hernia) banned me from runing for now. But I am struggling to get back🙂

[@catmaclaggan]

Thank you for making this video!

[@Julia-lg2on]

I recently had PHT in my left leg as well. I caught it very early, thanks to your previous videos on it! Mine was caused by accidentally overworking my legs and then over stretching to try to fix it. I took 2 months off at the end of summer, and have been very slowly building my running and speed back up for the last 7 weeks. That machine you showed looks great! I’ve noticed that that motion feels really good for mine as well. I followed James Dunne’s guide for PHT, as well as incorporated Emma Coburn’s warmup into my daily routine because my warmup routine was lacking.

[@Dan_South]

Sumo deadlifts are great for abductor adductor recruitment. I like conventional but I think sumo, RDLs, and Jefferson curls are better than conventional for runners 👍

[@annedel111]

Thank you for posting this. I have had PHT for over 20 years. I have tried everything - dry needling, shockwave therapy, tenex, PRP, Peptides, prolotherapy, physical therapy, doing nothing for months and cortisone shots. I recently started researching stem cell treatment in Mexico. I will try some of these hamstring exercises. For what it's worth, I am a very fit 51-year-old woman who eats healthy and works out about 5x/week. I don't know why it's taking so long to heal. I recently stopped doing deadlifts (too painful) and started on some of the exercises you mentioned.

[@novacalucas]

Sorry to hear that. I am struggling with PHT too. How are you now?

[@jasonhawen3272]

I've got gluteal tendinopathy... hopefully knock it out soon with similar exercises

[@chris.s.3163]

I think I understand what You are talking about. I' ve had the same issue very mildly. But I did realize the same for myself: rather don't strech it (otherwise I love using an old bike tube for leg streching while lying on my back. I do this mainly for conditioning muscels around my knees) and yes ist's the hamstring muscel weakness not the lack of streching it! For me it seems sufficent to train them with theraband though. Also hip rotation exercise while resting on Your forarms and knees does help.

[@dc9071]

Thanks Seth for the blog. Dealing with it now. This video helps.

[@runnerfromhel]

I saw this video when you released it. Didn’t have PHT then, but now I think I got it. 😅 Back to the lying hamstring curls.

[@Marsubleu]

Had that issue a year ago. Was really bothering me as indeed no stretching seemed to work (of course). Healed it mostly through glutes work, a bit of deadlifting and some other exercises with the elastic belts as you show. These days it's coming back though...

[@justjustjoo]

A little correction to the biomechanics of running: The hamstrings actually work very little or if at all when we ''lift'' the ankle up. It's actually a passive motion which is created by the hip flexors driving the knee forward. Where the hamstrings do alot of work during the running gait though is 1. ECCENTRICALLY decelerating the swing phase just right before the foot lands on the ground (this is actually where the hamstring does the most work in terms of power, and it's the most typical moment when a hamstring tear occurs in running.) and 2. It extends the hip joint CONCENTRICALLY right after ground contact.

For me when I get these injuries is when I realise how my muscles aren't strong enough , so i have to strengthen and work them way more. Definitely we need to always listen to our bodies.

It started affecting me about 40mins into the workout/match and just get worse to the point I couldn’t run without pain I just kept stretching it thinking it was just severe tight hamstrings from the heavy work load but the pain just got unbearable it was like this for days after and it would flare up every-time I started to run I just couldn’t put my finger in it. I decided to take lots of pain killers and just try I get through it but obviously this wasn’t the answer and I ended up pulling my hamstrings.

Hip bursitis for years, then PHT following a hamstring tear, probably over 2 years now. Did lots of physio and was managing it, got back to a sub-90 half as a 48 y.o. then got lazy and now starting the journey over again. Eccentric loading is a good, much like heel drops for achilles, reverse leg(s) curl on swiss ball, i.e. from a bridge position on a swiss ball, roll and extend the leg(s) out.

[@topinjs]

Have had this injury on and off for years. Muscles are lazy and therefore tendons have to pull double duty, hence why they get injured so much. Hamstrings are tough to heal because they tend to have poor blood circulation, they are two joint muscles and they do mostly eccentric work. Unfortunately this injury never really goes away but is manageable with gym work. We should challenge you to do some nordic hamstring curls, those are a beast.

That's really weird that kind of injury hurts less when you run vs sit. I had a minor knee injury in 2016(?) where it only hurt when I walked (not when I ran). It fixed itself in a week, but that was really weird

[@greatjuankenobi217]

Is this the same as pulling a hamstring muscle??? I’m a bit confused. 😆

[@catmaclaggan]

PHT is an injury/inflammation of the tendon which attaches the top of the hamstring to the sit bone. It generally occurs due to repetitive use and/or overstretching of this tendon and insufficient strength in the surrounding supportive muscles.

[@novacalucas]

Thank you for the great video! Very helpfull! I have been struggling with this for almost 20 months now. In the first 6, I was stretching too. Huge mistake! But the doctors took too long to correctly diagnose me. Have you ever felt pain in the perineum area and in the back of your foot while seated? Seems like some people have adhesions of the sciatic nerve or the posterior femorall cutaneous nerve on the tendinopathy.

I also feel the stab pain below the ischium, close to the groin area. I also feel some tingling on my foot while seated. I start feeling these pains only after I sit. I did block test on the Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve and the pain was gone. But the test works only for 1-2 hours. I will try pulsed radiofrequency on these nerves.

I have been dealing with PHT for the last 5 months since running my first marathon in June. I have been seeing a PT and have had shockwave treatments but mostly exercises to strengthen the muscles. Including hamstring curls, donkey kicks (with pelvis on mat), side leg raises and reverse clams, all with ankle weights, now up to 5 lbs. These plus some others all helped to get it almost 100% even while training for my first 50k trail race in October. But unfortunately it is back now after the race so kind of starting over... 😣
