Check out this proximal #hamstring eccentric exercise designed for the avid runner 🏃🏾♀️🏃♂️
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is one of the most nagging injuries to rehab back from, ask anyone who has dealt with it ‼️ For a runner, one of the more challenging positions to get back to and feel comfortable with is the full stride position. Optimal hip flexor flexibility with contralateral hamstring flexibility is 🔑 to helping an individual return to running. This exercise addresses both ‼️
Starting in a tall kneeling position is nice as it decreases the degrees of freedom, allowing the individual to focus on hip flexor and hamstring flexibility. Starting in a posterior pelvic tilt and resisting anterior pelvic tilt also promotes moving through the entire muscle length, and working against relative muscle stiffness. Progressions should include moving towards a standing position, and increasing speed of the movement ‼️
