Avoiding the Pain, Rest, Weakness Downward Spiral
We tick off our last universal principle to overcome your proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Brodie introduces the Pain, Rest, Weakness Downward Spiral which is a common trap for tendon pain.It is human nature to retreat from activity if it causes a flare-up, but in reality, if you are constantly removing aggravating factors without replacing it with a proactive exercise, the tendon becomes weaker and less able to handle rehab exercises.Brodie dives into detail and how you can use this concept to your advantage. 🎉🎉 Sign up for the FREE PHT 5-Day Course HERE 🎉🎉If you would like to learn more about having Brodie on your rehab team go to www.runsmarter.online Or book a free 20-min physio chat here
