Nice video and exercises. I do the bending at the hip on one foot exercise couple times per week. But your variation of the bridges seems interesting and are different than what I've seen before. Going to give them a try. I've had this condition for about 4 years and it really put me through the ringer the first 3 years. Making progress now. This injury takes up to 2 years to fully heal provided you are doing the right things to heal it. I'll add some things that have helped me: 1)get plenty of sleep each night, 2) do not got fast when exercising(slow is fast) (do a morning and afternoon session)(mobility every day) 3) a little pain/discomfort is OK when working out( everybody's pain is different) but nothing sharp or long lasting. If it is stop immediately and re-evaluate. 4)Be consistent 5)consume only water, organic veggies when possible, clean meats(i.e grass fed beef, pasture raised chickens, farmed raised salmon)(try fasting a couple times per week on the days you do not exercise. only eat between 1-5PM ) 6) use collagen with 40-80mg vitamin C before workout, supplement with magnesium glycinate 7) walk daily at least 7500 steps 8) get a standing desk 9)give your self days off from exercising at least 1 day between sessions but continue mobility. don't over do it! 10) get into cold water for 2-4minutes daily. 11) lastly tell yourself every day you will not give into your body or give up. Enjoy! :)

did you climb stairs during the rehab process? I am currently suffering from this, and I cannot climb up stairs without pain. Also the pain worsens after an episode of stair climbing.

Great video. I had a triplet pregnancy 12 years ago and my body has never been the same. I had pubic symphysis during my pregnancy . It was so painful and I was on bed rest. For about 4-5 weeks I have developed terrible sit bone pain on my right side. I have been in terrible discomfort, I think it’s related to the pubic pain. Tomorrow I’m getting a Proletherapy injection tomorrow. My son who’s 11 is playing at Carnegie hall April 16. I need to get better so I can see him perform. Can I do these exercises when I’m in intense pain or should I wait? Thank you
@MichaelBraccio Жыл бұрын
Hi Carolyn! Pain isn't a contraindication for doing exercises for tendon pain. It's a balance between finding some exercises to start building up tolerance but not doing too much where the tendon is irritated for the rest of the day and interferes with other activities.

Can you please explain why we want to put loading on a tendon that is already inflamed and in a stressed condition ?
@MichaelBraccio5 күн бұрын
Of course! It depends if it was caused by a sudden increase in loading or more of a chronic overload. Sudden overload we want probably reduce the load to allow the tendon to calm down. But for chronic overload, there are altered proteins in the tendon which are drawing more fluid into the tendon leading to the swelling/inflammation. So gradually loading helps to change this protein composition. Also exercise can have a pain relieving effect when dosed appropriately so short term this can be helpful.
@mrpentium5 күн бұрын
very interesting. Is there something I can Google to learn more about the protein composition that changes with exercise ? Is this another way of saying inflammation alleviation?
@MichaelBraccio5 күн бұрын
Kind of. The inflammatory process involves different pathways, so they are often absent in tendinopathy. But in both cases, fluid can accumulate in the area. This article might be helpful: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6737558/

No way I could do any of these excercises. Maybe you could come up with a very beginner excercise for people that have had this condition for years and haven't sat. Maybe the first excercise but not even lift my butt just push my heel into the chair? Idk, my body sucks😢

Hi Jenna! A modification could be just putting one leg on a chair and pushing down while your hips are on the floor. The key is finding a place to start that you feel comfortable and gradually progressing from there. You got this!

Sir the thing is I m a cricketer and that too a fast bowler which requires sprinting and jumping with very high loads , I have been suffering from this Hamstring tendinopathy on the right leg from past 1.5 years , therefore has been in and out of play , while being injured I kept on bowling because it wud never cause pain during play but only pain when I come back in rest mode, I have seen some of physios out there in New Delhi but didnt recovered only because I could not identify the right sets of exercise that would suit me to be able to do without pain(irritating the sciatic nerve) and so that I can beleive in the process and then finally recover... earlier the pain was only radiating down the hamstrings after my game and while sitting for longer but now a days since past 6 months I am also getting a radiating pain down in my calves specially around my knee while bending & sitting, the pain is shooting and tingling that means most probably sciatica , that means now the tendinopathy is irritating the sciatic nerve as well....I m also having a disc bulge in l4-l5 but without any prior back pain...so I am unable to get a proper diagnosis of my problem whether the whole pain ( tendons + sciatica) is due to my tendinopathy only or is it a combination of tendinopathy and disc bulge ? Whether the sciatic nerve is getting irritated due to tendinopathy or the sciatica is due the a disc bulge, or it is a piriformis syndrome? Lots of confusions... I have oppurtunities in front of me to play for state premiere leagues once I get 100% fit. I m also longing to play for the IPL and represent my nation INDIA..so want to get recovered as early as possible to start playing and work on my sprints...I m 26 now and its already been too late with this injury of nearly 2 years ....I can bowl 130 kmph now and aiming to bowl 150+...pls help to get me recovered...I m going through lots of stress and depression !
