Brodie answers these PHT questions: Sandrine: Two weeks leading to race day I typically stop all lower body strength exercises. That is when I sometimes feel a little ache in the proximal hamstring. Now I do some deadlifts which helped up to a week leading to race day. I know body weight exercises like squats will not help but I want to hear your thoughts about body weight squats leading to race day? Lara: Any issues with strength training quads and glutes while rehabbing pht? Jeff: Does sitting prevent healing from PHT?  If I have a desk job with PHT, should I invest in a standing desk? Michelle: For those of us who are recovering from proximal hamstring tendon tears how do we prevent future tears or inflammation? Jason: Do you think some people have a genetic disposition to tendonopathies, I’m currently going through PHT and have had various other tendonopathies throughout my life. Siân: I would love to hear your thoughts on whether some of us are more at risk of tendon issues than others. I read that women are at higher risk when we get to peri/menopause too. Thoughts? What can I do to prevent any more? Patrick:Anything about ischial bursitis/swelling of the sit bone🙏🙏. The constant inflammation is driving me crazy. Louise:I have partial tears but a surgeon said it was my spine, not hamstring. 3 Sports docs don't agree. I just go around the circuit of physio, sports docs etc. I'm about ready to go out of province or country for help. Any suggestions? Fabienne: How come my MRI showed severe tendinitis in hamstring and glute tendons but I never had pain? (Until full avulsion) Maria: Approximately how long does it take to get full strength in your tendon following tenodesis surgery?  Book a free 20-min physio chat here Click here to learn more about the PHT video course & to receive your 50% discount If you would like to learn more about having Brodie on your rehab team go to www.runsmarter.online
