Hamstring tendinopathy

Hamstring tendinopathy is a chronic irritation of the hamstring tendon, often near the sit-bone area. It tends to affect runners, field athletes, and people who spend long periods sitting with an already sensitive tendon. The pain can feel deep and persistent, especially during acceleration, hinging, lunging, or prolonged sitting.
