I do have access to the gym here but the equipment isn't as good as at my gym at home. Is easing back on the exercise likely to set me back at all?  Brent: "Are the rehab stages considered 'strength' training and, if so, is it too much strength, taking away from my runs or bike days?" Jennifer: "I saw a PT who said my hamstring was constantly under tension because of a pelvic tilt. Do you know if anterior pelvic tilts can be a cause of PHT or if there's any benefit to correcting the tilt?" Rebecca Appleby: "When the PHT is responding well to a solid rehab plan, at what point can strides be reincorporated into a return to run routine, or does the PHT need to be remedied first?"

Is this a new 21st-century condition that has been amplified by our sedentary lifestyles and long hours of sitting at work? It just seems strange that no one had this problem back in the 80s and 90s when jogging/running became so popular.  Harvey: Hi Brodie, Maybe you could expand on how a PHT sufferer assesses whether they have a relatively strong or weak tendon. For example, a slight increase in a strength exercise or perhaps too much sitting in a given time period will cause a flareup and will often take 4-5 days for the tendon to settle back down. Trina: Rehabilitation exercises are great; usually doing the job to strengthen and “repair” if following doctor’s orders. However, once the hamstring and/or tendon no longer cause pain, is it expected that someone would continue the exercises, and if so, would it be less frequently, fewer reps, lower intensity, or something else? In other words, what is the post recovery protocol? Jen Johnson: Hi Brodie, my question is, how common is it to have pain in the "muscle belly" of the hamstring? Is this truly connected to this PHT injury? I occasionally have pain at the high tendon attachment but it is rare. I have really stalled in my rehab and I am wondering if it could be something else. I should clarify, that in the beginning, it was more prominent in the attachment but not now.

Because of my other hammie I can't run, jump, walk too much and sit only on cushions.  This PHT on the right side started after doing hamstring exercises!  Exercises, that should heal or prevent from PHT!  Single leg elevated hip thrust and single leg glute bridges with straight legs.  I never had any tendon problems before my injury 2 years ago on my left leg.  So how can these exercises cause PHT on a healthy leg??  And what should I do for rehab when PT exercises cause PHT?"
