Three Simple Distal Hamstring Tendinopathy Exercises

[@cristianwithnoh2951]

I've literally been dreaming for someone that has this much passion on the subject that they can properly delve into each and every single aspect of the injury. Thank you so very much for this video.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're welcome, and good luck with your recovery!

[@rwdtk000000]

This is exactly what I have. Thank you for the video. There are literally no other KZbin videos for this condition, so I was feeling hopeless about this. But you went ahead and made an hour long video. So thankful!🎉

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're very welcome!

[@fpupesh]

i wish that video was out 7 months ago when i had that issue. i did it cause i decided to start running and went from sitting on the sofa all day to running, completely ignoring the signals from my legs. ended up in insane pane in the pes anserine on both legs and 2 weeks recovery. my physio also advised that weak glutes could also cause hamstring overload. great video!

[@enjoyinglifeeveryday4015]

Hello! What type of physiotherapy did you do specifically? I had hamstring tendinopathy and now my pes anserine bursa on the same leg / knee, been a couple months of pain, would you be able to let me know what your physio said?

[@CoachSteve_69]

I've been trying to understand my injuries for months, my physio never really explained my ultrasound results like this. My current loading exercises still gives me quite a bit of pain, hopefully with this approach I can get back onto the bike soon. Brilliant video. Thank you so much!!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!

[@gary6598]

Been suffering bilateral distal tendinitis now for 9 months or so, been rehabbing from hospital physio, but no advice on not straightening out leg on hamstring curls, leg raises etc, which as you say can really aggravate the tendons and does, thank you for excellent advice, a brilliant video, I shall adapt my schedule to suit. Just started with ECSTherapy last week, no pain during session, but next day pain in both knees was full on, next day seemed much better so fingers crossed, don’t apologise for length of video, most informative out there as, doesn’t seem to be a lot about this injury. Thank you.

Great video and presentation! I'm going to a physio after watching this, but it's most likely this. Been struggling to find information on my symptoms until I find this amazing video, you're giving such in depth and nuanced advice. Worth gold. Thank you!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're most welcome!

[@babyfaced1403]

Wow. Very thorough and passionate! I've always had a feeling that the hamstring stretches were causing more issues. I definitely started mine prematurely. I wish General practice physicians were this thorough! One can indure months of co-pays and deductibles and still not get this type of guidance. Thank you so much! What a blessing

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You're very welcome!

[@cristianwithnoh2951]

I started getting it towards the summer between my sophmore and junior year of high school and neglected treatment because there was only pain after activity rather than during. I also didn't have a parent that would drive me to a physical therapist or anything. After seeing this video I could cry tears of joy, but I also feel very anxious because of the potential restructuring of my tendon because I neglected treatment for easily over a year. Played soccer and basketball back to back for 2+ years which I believe to be the eventual cause.

[@PKonstantinou64]

I dare to say that that your video is the best i 've seen. Full coverage of the subject, from the anatomy to possible solutions with pros and cons. AND References! A true scientific approach...(As someone who works in pharma industry i couldn't be more impressed). Vere very well done!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@Themix274]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m 29 yo and a year ago I injured my hamstring in both legs during an exercice in the gym. Ultrasound did not find any abnormalities but I was still diagnosed with distal hamstring tendinopathy by the sports doc. It has been hard dealing with this injury. The only hobbies I have and enjoy are sports like hiking, running and going to the gym. I can’t do these the way I used to do, and I’m always in pain afterwards. Sitting for longer periods on a hard chair or in my car can also be aggravating. Mentally it has been tough. I went to a local fysiotherapist (kinesist) for 8 weeks, 4 months after the injury but I only got massages there and one exercice to perform at home - a Stability Ball Leg Curl - which was too aggravating. So I gave up on the rehab and just hoped for the ‘wait and see’ method which has improved my day to day symptoms but didn’t give me improvement when performing sports. Cortisone has been proposed by the doc but I refused this for the moment.. MRI might be scheduled. Your explanation and advice on this topic has been the first time in months I’ve had some hope that distal hamstring tendinopathy might be treatable and there is light at the end of the tunnel. I will start with the exercises u described and might visit a sportsphysio in the near future. I want to be able to exercice pain free again. Bedankt!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

[@Gaga-l2c]

Hi! I have exactly the same same as you explained! Mine started 3 years ago and ever since it has been on and off, I was basically neglecting it 😢! 5 weeks ago I got calf strain muscle and I was sitting more than usually and I aggravated it again, now is bigger pain that ever! I went to see ortopedic and she said it is hamstring tendinitis and she prescribed me physical therapy with laser, needling (whatever) that is! Never done it before! All I know I have changed 3 different facilities and PT’s are terrible, all they do they show some exercises that we can do at home, they did not even massage my calf! Now with this hamstring I really hope I will find someone who can help! I love to workout and it has been a long time that I have been pushing through this pain. It is good to see I am not alone, I just hope I am not too late and this hamstring did not reach some incurable stage 😢 Thank you for sharing nicely and honestly! I hope you are cured by now 🙏

Thank you!!!

[@hapitatrichard9600]

Hi, I think we have the same issue, this started when i begin training for half-marathon(doing some slow and easy runs). the back of the knee and inside gets tight. Doing the single leg bridges helps. at the moment after 5days without running, the pain is somehow 70% gone. let me know what happened to you MRI.

[@NatashaNanda-mr3wm]

That was simply an awesome video. I was struggling with my injury and was so anxious how to go about it. This video made things crystal clear. Hopefully, I should run again in a couple of weeks. I am 59 and an avid Marathoner.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!

[@cristianwithnoh2951]

10:23 described my situation perfectly. I'm a soccer player and only have pain AFTER activity, on the side of my knee. At first my problem was diagnosed as "Illiotibial Band Syndrome," then later was diagnosed (by the same sports physical therapist) as "Hamstring Tendonitis." The pain is right where the I.T. Band ends on the side of my leg and I wasn't sure that my problem was Hamstring tendonitis, but after hearing that a symptom of HT is pain AFTER activity, I feel more comfortable about the diagnosis. I've been trying to find any information about pain after activity, and this is the first source that actually mentioned this.

[@TheMbudzeni]

I was starting to feel the same pain the past two weeks when I was recovering from a hamstring pull. I have not felt it since I started playing soccer 3 days ago

[@noahroberg-perez4862]

Same. This sucks 😢

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

I find this video pure gold! thank you so much for the detailed guidance! looks like I suffer from biceps femoris tendonitis and when I stretch the leg and try to work tight hamstrings it feels uncomfortable. The choice of your exercises (as you can do it at home) is very thoughtful. 47 mins is not a short video to follow through, but it was worth every minute. I felt even more irritated with classic hamstring stretches. Subscribed.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Thanks for watching, and good luck with your recovery!

[@xoxcxsxm]

I have this from dancing, my thought happiness was gone , good to hear that I should continue with low load

[@vladimirdore889]

What an insightful video! The explanation was exceptionally clear. Two months back, during an indoor soccer game, I accidentally kicked the floor instead of the ball due to the uneven turf. Initially, I felt pain behind my knee, which subsided after a few days, except when I exerted resistance on the lower hamstring. Despite this, I decided to return to play, still experiencing some discomfort. Now, I'm noticing new pain at the lower hamstring tendon and on the side of my knee. Although my physiotherapist is excellent, the explanation didn't fully resonate. Nonetheless, I'll diligently follow the prescribed exercises. Thank you immensely!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!

[@mikaelacather6462]

Thank you so much for this! I learned more about what to do for my injury from than I have been from seeing a PT in person. I did the bridge exercises last night and I could tell they definitely engaged the right area. I was scared I did too many because my injury was pretty sore going to bed last night, but I woke up with less pain than I was a few days ago. So thank you ! I'll keep at it!

[@Lubby320]

I had a knee replacement two years ago. I am 75 years old and like to golf three days a week and practice at the range. I have had four back operations in my life, a shoulder operation, an elbow sewn, and a knee replacement among other types of injuries. My back is fine now but I got three months ago, I had a neck fusion from a pinched nerve and played no golf. Once I was released to golf, I got bad pain on the side of my knee and on my upper thigh. My doctor said the implant looked good on the xray but it was a hamstring. I keep golfing and it got to whenever I put weight on it, I had bad pain. I stopped golfing a week ago and after a stretching session, I could walk a mile with no pain. Then after sitting or getting up in the morning, the pain with weight on it started pain again. I think now it's now a little better, still hurts but not as much. I did PT and do perscribed exercises at home every day. I think the walking is helping with the exercises. I guess I should stop golfing for awhile even through the doctor said golf was a low impact sport. My biggest worry is damaging the implant. I long would you think I know it's safe to golf again? I ride in cart when I play.

It really is best to ask your physio because I have no idea of what is causing your pain or what is needed to fix it without assessing you. If you wanted help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m working with a PT and he explained it really well, but I like getting even more info. I started running again (only a mile vs my usual 6-7), and I was worried I shouldn’t because I could feel the tendons a bit. I don’t see the PT until next week, so watching this put me at ease-it’s not uncomfortable. A mile at a slow pace seems okay 😊.

[@lukecostello2748]

Hi, I’m not sure if you will see this comment. But I have a question if you wouldn’t mind answering. First off thank you for such a detailed video and sharing your valuable knowledge. In terms of beginning rehab after resting the tendon, should I avoid doing anything where I notice the tendon is under pressure/discomfort. Such as when I do hamstring curls I can feel discomfort in the tendon. I have been doing exercise to the point where I can feel some discomfort but I don’t keep going when I feel pain. I guess what I’m asking is if there is a way to recognise what level of discomfort/pain is good to work through and when to know when to stop. Thanks again.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

The rule with rehab and exercise is usually that it is OK to do as long as: 1. It only causes a slight discomfort while doing it, AND 2. It does not cause an increase in your pain and swelling that lasts for more than 24 hours So check how your pain responds in the day after and that will tell you if a session is OK or not.

[@jrwilker]

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you SO much!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

[@kassandramcpherson2839]

My question is about instability. I had a hockey injury in college that led to lateral knee arthritis. Had a lateral knee replacement 2 years ago. 5 weeks ago while playing hockey (I don’t learn, do I) I did something to injure the knee. Middle of the night I had extreme pain in region of biceps tendon, and significant swelling of the entire knee. Could hardly straighten my leg. When I tried to walk, my knee kept buckling. It was BAD. Extreme pain, my femur seemed to shift forward and my tibia backward. Also, my patella seemed to luxate laterally. Completely unstable. Surgeon said what they always say: “Well, the implant is fine!” If this is a hamstring tendon problem, why the instability? It’s been 5 weeks, it’s better but I have to be sooo careful.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It doesn't sound like a hamstring injury - the amount of swelling you are describing sounds like you injured something inside the joint. Did the surgeon check your ligaments?

Genuinely appreciate the time and effort that went into this video. I've had an unhappy triad that was diagnosed as 2nd grade MCL, treated as so for two months then another injury lower hamstring tendonitis that I've been using hydro and physical therapy for about 2 months now. Things are much better, pain is going away and strength is increasing, but to go back to playing soccer, does the pain have to be 0% or would I risk having a complete ACL/MCL tear?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

The pain doesn't have to be 100% gone but should usually only be like a niggle rather than proper pain. The important part is that your rehab should have built up to the point where you can actually do exercises and activities that are at an intensity and complexity similar to your sport.

[@hosamovic8518]

Thank you for your response. I'm at the niggling part of recovery at the moment with my triad. The tendons behind my knee are still stiff but the range of motion has increased to about 90% without pain. The stiffness always goes away after warming up. As I understood from your comment and video, I could focus on the exercises you presented along with other PT concentrating on soccer movements until the therapist feels I'm readyto go back to football, correct?

[@jarlathfalls]

What a brilliant video! Thank you so much. If I can ask: Should a 'load' day during rehab include a form of bridge, curl and deadlift? Or is this typically too much?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Totally depends on how sensitive yours is and where you are in your rehab - I usually start my patient on bridges - then add in light curls and lastly deadlifts - so they can eventually do all in one session but start really light and build over time.

thank you so much for this 💓💓 at what point would you introduce stretches? as a dancer, flexibility is a big part of my training.. would you say it's safe to stretch only to the level when you feel no pain? or would u refrain from all stretching until later? (when?)

I would only start stretching once you have regained full strength through full range and then definitely restrict it to pain free range - start gentle with short holds and observe the 24 hour pain response. Then slowly build it up.

What a great video and thank you very much!!! Would this hamstring tendinopathy cause swelling of the knee? And difficulties of going upstairs? Felt sharp pain around the area where you are describing in your video while playing soccer. If i rested, i felt better. So went out and played and then came home with (or the day after) with a swollen knee. After several repeats of this i finally gave up. No progress after 8 PT sessions. My therapist has been working on my glutes. Very frustrating!! Perhaps I will try your exercises. Thanks again.

It might cause a bit of puffiness around the tendons but not a lot of swelling in the knee itself. If you felt a sharp pain when you injured it the first time, it may be that you've torn something actually. If you want help with your rehab, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call.

A very informative video 👏🏻 I’ve got a hip impingement, and then recently in the last week have felt the symptoms you have mentioned. Due to tight hips and also hamstrings previously. Due to this have done quite a lot of Hamstring work stretching and strengthening to try help so I can continue to play football training 2/3 times a week with a match at the weekend, they have now been possibly overworked to much? Now I am icing and resting to wait for an improvement. 🤕

It is likely that you've just overdone it on the exercise side - it should calm down nicely if you allow it a bit of a break and then observe how different exercises and stretches affect it when you go back.

What if the pain has been over several years? I had an underdeveloped hip that caused chronic knee dislocations, had a few surgeries and still not able to bounce back. I also have chronic pain diagnoses and find I'm in a catch 22 with training the knee irritates the hip and training the hip irritates the knee. It makes it feel like the skin is tearing. How long can I expect my recovery to take?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Your case isn't really a clear cut one - your physio who knows your full situation is better placed to answer this question.

Hi, thank you for this great video. I’m a runner, and It has helped me work through and heal my tendonitis. It’s very common for me to blame my running injuries on my shoes, but would you say that this lower hamstring tendonitis could be a reflection of my shoes? Currently my shoes are pretty new, only about 200 miles, and I have had my shoes kinda specifically picked out for my specific arch but there are obviously other shoes with that same arch style. I’m wondering this because I have never had this issue with any other shoe I have tried. I would love you hear your feedback. Thank you for these great videos they really really help me ❤

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

This is usually down to training error - I've not seen a case caused by shoes.

I’ve been having issues in that semimembranosus area recently. In a 5k race in early May and again this past 4th of July, I felt a strain at around the 2 mile mark and had to basically jog in to the finish. It seems that when I run at my race pace for at least 1-2 miles, that area in the lower hamstring wants to bark at me. Thanks for this information

Thank you for the great video, you describe precisely what I have after running 12 km..I started running a few months ago and normally I run between 5 and 7 km, 3 times per week and one day I felt in a good shape and I run 12 km..it wasn’t a good idea :(
