Just what I needed. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Thanks for the detailed information. One question. On the Bridges, you don't mention squeezing your glutes together.

@kevinchan4951 3 years ago

Do you do any cross fiber friction massage to the tendon before or after training?

Hi Micheal. Very clear and useful! What do you think about PHT and bycicle? And what about elliptical trainer? Could I use bycicle and elliptical for some cardio workout? Or it's better to avoid them? Thank you

Can I just stretch it and it will get better because for a month straight I’ve been stretching and it really hasn’t gotten better

@newts-fv8kl 5 years ago

hi Michael, I have both glute and hamstring tendinopathy on right side which is causing tight ql on same side which may be caused by raised pelvis of approx 2cms
I find stretching doesn't do much so am I best to concentrate on strengthening the glutes and hamstring and stretching the ql muscles

Thanks for the video!

1 How often would you recommend doing this? Daily?
2 What kind of time frame do you estimate for partial and then full recovery? Weeks? Months?

Thanks for this video, really helpful with tons of exercises. I have been dealing with this for two weeks. it never hurt too much maybe around 6, and now I am more about 2/3. I am currently running flat and cycling. Since I am doing easy work with no hills on running, I don't have any discomfort. I am also doing some of the exercises that you recommended. My concern is that the pain doesn't go away so I am not sure if I have to rest or keep doing what I am doing. Not sure if I have to add some more intensity or hills to my run, since probably I will feel some pain. Thank you!

Hi Michael, I've been dealing with left-sided high hamstring tendinopathy for roughly the past six months. You video was very useful and informative, however, I have a question concerning using a straight single leg deadlift as therapy. Most videos I've viewed regarding treating this condition strongly caution against any stretching. In fact, some videos specifically cite the single straight leg deadlift as a counterproductive exercise due to the hamstring stretching involved. What's your position on the potential of a straight single leg deadlift causing harmful stretching? Thanks, I'm interested in your take.

Michael, I believe my daughter has PHT. She recently did the long lever exercise and upon doing so, the pain went from the top of the hamstring and moved into the glute. Is this normal? should she continue to do the exercise or stop? should we see the proper doctor for further testing/imaging?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael ! Thank You So much for sharing. I am curious, I was diagnosed w/ a tendinopathy ( right hamstring) I went to therapy like for a month and I can't continue for now,, its been around since November and I didn't know what happened to me on the time until I started with pain.

Do you think this still can help me??

I still have some pain, specially when I flex and practice my yoga flows. I am a little frustrated 😅 hope you can give me some advice!

Thanks again!❤

Thanks Michael. How long and often should I be doing these? 3 x weekly, a few sets each for up to 6 weeks for example? The first exercise the long lever bridge gives me instant pain relief. However, within a few minutes the mild annoying pain comes back. This needs to be a routine in order for me to maximize the benefits.

I’ve had pain in my upper hamstring for 2 weeks now because I got injured from sprinting. Should I ice or do exercise to strengthen my hamstring like bridges and stuff. Please reply I really need to start sprinting

@kevinchan4951 3 years ago

Dude this injury is super annoying !

@sareth71 5 years ago

Hi Michael, awesome video! I have a question when I do the first exercise I feel the lateral side of my knee is being pulled (the leg that I’m having problems with). Why or is it normal to feel like that because of the hamstring issues Hope to hear back from you soon!! Thank you
