Hamstring tendinopathy is a degenerative condition resulting from overuse of the tendinous junction of the hamstring normally near the buttocks. It sometimes arises after a lower limb injury particulary in athletes when there is compensatory movement patterns that are not addressed early in the rehabiltation plan. It is believed that hamstring tendinopathy arises due to excessive compression of the hamstring tendon on the ischial tuberosity . This condition is best managed conservatively with exercises that stress the muscle from a shortened position to a lengthened position against resistance. Correction of biomechanical faults in the lower limb is also important. Some pain is acceptable during exercise once the diagnosis has been made.
