Hamstring tendinopathy isn’t just a “tight hamstring” problem — it’s usually a load tolerance problem.
If your hamstring tendon is irritated (common with runners, lifters, and postpartum athletes), stretching it endlessly often just keeps it angry.
Instead, we focus on:
• Graston / instrument-assisted soft tissue work to improve tissue quality and calm things down
• Progressive hamstring loading to rebuild the tendon’s tolerance to force
• Single-leg stability work to improve how your pelvis, glutes, and hamstrings share the load
Because when the hamstring is doing everything alone, the tendon takes the hit!
Rehab isn’t about resting forever — it’s about loading the tendon the right way so it can get stronger.
