2, 3 PHT is most commonly diagnosed in sagittal plane dominant athletes such as middle and long-distance runners or in individuals who routinely perform exercises and activities that contribute to tensile and compressive loading of the proximal hamstring tendon. 1 Tendinopathic changes are attributed to a combination of tensile loading and compressive forces applied to the common hamstring tendon near the attachment at the ischial tuberosity during movements that require the hamstrings to contract or lengthen while in hip flexion and adduction. Proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) is a chronic, overuse condition that develops as a result of repetitive mechanical loading at the proximal hamstring tendon.
