Hamstrings are one of the more frequently injured muscles in sportspeople, and in this episode, Alison and I discuss hamstring tendinopathy, symptoms, assessment and treatment of this common condition.

Some of the aspects we explore in this podcast are:

Subjective clues that someone may have a Hamstring Tendinopathy
Differentiating Hamstring Tendinopathy from pain of Lumbar origin
Assessment of the hamstring
Tests to confirm or rule out a Hamstring Tendinopathy
Causes
Advice for patients
Rehabilitation
Deep hip muscle activation
Keys to a successful treatment program
a whole lot more

There is currently limited research around the area of hamstring tendinopathy, and Alison's tips and insights are based on this evidence base as well as her clinical experience.

I hope you enjoy it!
