Luke Nelson: Hamstring Tendinopathy
Listen now
Description
Welcome to the Peak Endurance podcast! Episode 120 is another interview with Luke Nelson, chiropractor at Health and high Performance. In this episode we discuss hamstring Tendinopathy. A hamstring tendinopathy is an over use injury of the high hamstring tendon where it attaches to the ischial tuberosity (sit bone of the buttock). Typically, this condition occurs in runners who have suddenly increased their training volume/intensity, or started hill running. Those with a developed hamstring tendinopathy will complain of a deep, annoying buttock pain during activities such as hill walking, running and/or prolonged sitting/driving.
