Thank you so much! 👏😍 This is exactly what my recurring issue has been for a long time. Sorting my bands out right now to see which one I should start with.
"It takes time!" Yeh-----Tell me about ! I am 73, and just when I had my hamstrings under control, the left one became "pulled" again. I have been watching every video that I can find. I enjoy a vigorous exercise lifestyle, but, at my age, it's a bit more Challenging.
In this podcast, you mentioned another podcast with more exercises for the high hamstring. Can you tell me the number of the podcast? Thank you! I love your content and am a Jen Health member.
We have this episode on tight hamstrings :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3rRDIUkOck0.html Thank you SO much for your support! I love to hear it!
Hi Jen, just discovered your amazing channel. I am writing here but referring to the video on meniscus exercises you published a month ago. Do you recommend these also after one had surgery consisting in partial ablation of the inner meniscus (1/3 in my case, approximately 3 years ago)? Are they useful if your anterior and posterior chain is already quite strong? Is there anything one can do to somehow counterbalance the missing piece? A lot of questions, I know.
Hi Peter! Thanks so much for being here! So it is tough for us to give any specific medical advice based on people who are post surgical because we don't get a chance to do a formal assessment or have any medical history. However, these exercises have been very helpful for my husband, who has a 2/3 meniscectomy in his right knee and an active tear in his left. Also, if you have strong anterior and posterior chains, the next step would be making sure you have good hip and ankle mobility overall. With reduced hip or ankle mobility, we might tend to put more strain through the knee because of compensation. It could also be good to make sure you are training the outside and inside of the hips, to balance the great strength in your anterior/posterior chains.
I've been dealing with this proximal hamstring tendinopathy for almost a year and it keeps coming back, yesterday i was running and i did some stretching in the evening when i went to bed i felt pain, regarding the treatment that i did in the past i did some exercises (hip thrust, leg curls..ect) i avoided streaching and heavy load after 2 to 3 weeks the pain disappear, what should i do?!
Hard to give specific recommendations but a lot of the time this could point toward needing to do more strengthening rather than stretching. We like to incorporate eccentric hamstring loading as a way to prep the hamstrings to be ready for the aggressive nature of activities like running.
