Hamstring tendinopathy is associated with long-term degeneration of the hamstring tendons. And in this video, I'd like to share a few great exercises that can help you relieve the pain and strengthen your hamstrings. Download the free hamstring tendinopathy exercises here: https://www.coachsofiafitness.com/hamstring-tendinopathy-exercise-plan/ Anatomy of the proximal hamstrings: The proximal aspect of the hamstring attaches to the ischial tuberosity. This area consists of 3 main muscles, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the long head of the biceps femoris. The primary role of the hamstrings is to slow down the knee extension and initiate hip extension during gait. And due to their anatomy and attachment to both the hip and knee, they are susceptible to injuries whenever there is a sudden and fast muscle lengthening combined with hip flexion and knee extension. This is why hamstring injuries are more common among runners, and people who take part in sports like football that require a quick change of direction. Hamstring Tendinopathy Causes: Repetitive overlead of the muscle and tendon, along with weakness of the glutes. Lack of lumbopelvic stability Insufficient warm-up, glute activation before training, and not releasing tightness and trigger points can also contribute to long-term tendinopathies. The initial phase of the treatment plan is usually a short period of rest and reduction or elimination of the triggering activity. However, once the symptoms start improving, it's essential to incorporate therapies to help regenerate the soft tissues. It's also been shown that corrective exercises have helped reduce pain and symptoms associated with hamstrings tendinopathies and strengthen the muscle-tendon junction. In addition, studies have also shown that incorporating eccentric exercises improved the production of type 1 collagen which is an important aspect of healing and avoiding degeneration of the soft tissues.

Here are a few exercises to help you improve mobility and flexibility in just a few minutes. I prefer to focus on mobility exercises to release hip and back tightness as opposed to static stretching. Stretching has its place, of course, but I like to include some mobility exercises to improve the range of motion and increase blood flow around the joints to keep them healthy. The squat mobility drills are one of my favorite ways to warm up my hips before a squat workout, as well as to release lower back tightness. And by the way, you can also use a bathtub to do it at home. Just hold onto the side of the bathtub and let your weight drop down.
