Understanding Hamstring (Proximal) Tendinopathy
This condition typically presents as deep buttock pain, especially during sitting or physical activity, due to irritation of the hamstring tendon near its origin. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, assessment focuses on load tolerance, flexibility, and movement mechanics. Treatment includes manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and progressive strengthening. Shockwave therapy may be considered in persistent cases to encourage tissue healing.
Our Specialized Approach
- Tendon Load & Symptom AssessmentEvaluate proximal hamstring tenderness, strength, and pain response to loading to classify tendon irritability and guide rehabilitation.
- Pain & Tendon Irritation ManagementModify aggravating activities, apply ice, and use isometric exercises to reduce tendon pain and calm acute irritability.
- Hamstring Flexibility & Neural MobilityCarefully address hamstring and sciatic nerve mobility, avoiding aggressive stretching that may further irritate the proximal tendon.
- Progressive Tendon LoadingImplement a structured eccentric and heavy slow resistance program to stimulate tendon remodeling and rebuild proximal hamstring strength.
- Gluteal & Core StrengtheningStrengthen gluteal and core muscles to support the proximal hamstring, reduce tendon overload, and improve overall hip function.
- Running & Sport-Specific RehabilitationProgress through graded running, sprinting, and sport-specific drills to achieve full and pain-free return to athletic activity.
