We hear a snippet from that podcast and learn about tendon rehabilitation and preventing a tendinopathy.We break rehab into stages:Stage 1: Identify daily compression and reduce if required.Stage 2: Start tendon loading & monitor response. Including isometrics, eccentrics, concentric/eccentric, power, speed.Stage 3: Return to sport & monitor symptomsStage 4: Start addressing entire kinetic chain while returning to activity.Brodie then chimes in with his 5 key injury prevention tips & comments on the Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy insights.

We then dive into specific sports, tasks, movements and positions that elevate tensile and compressive strain on the hamstring tendon.Brodie helps explain the walking/running action and the function of the hamstring during it's swing phase, contributing to high eccentric loads.We then talk about proximal hamstring tendinopathy symptoms including deep, localized pain in the region of the ischial tuberosity that often worsens during or after running, lunging, squatting, and sitting.We finish off with describing  provocation tests & potential differential diagnoses such as lumbar, hip, sacroiliac joint, somatic referral, radiculopathy or sciatic nerve involvement.
