Running Pain and Hamstring Straining
Do you experience pain in the lower gluteal region when you go out for a run or even from sitting for prolonged periods of time?
You may be suffering from Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy and not even know it!
What is PHT?
Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy (PHT) is common among distance runners and athletes performing similar routines including sprints, hurdles, or just quick changing direction activities needed for football, basketball, etc.
PHT is characterized by deep, localized pain in the region of the ischial tuberosity (your sit bones), and often worsens during or after running, lunging, squatting, and sitting – A.K.A. a real pain in the butt for runners!
It is a less well-known injury, but actually much more common than you’d think.
