10 Years Of PHT With Vicki Smith Podcast

Podcast Hosted By Brodie Sharp Of The Run Smarter Podcast Series – 1 hour long

 

I’m the founder of the Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy Help and Support Group and was invited to talk about  living with proximal hamstring tendinopathy for a decade by Brodie on his podcast series.   I discuss the causes of my PHT, the failed treatments I’ve had, sitting and the challenges of everyday life, mental health, surgery in Finland and supplements.

 

With the right clinician, most people recover within two years or less without the need for surgery.  Mine is an exceptional case.  I hope this podcast helps you feel less alone and isolated.

The Directory

The Recommended Clinicians Directory

This directory was created following a request from a PHT community member.

Every clinician listed has been recommended by a member who’s received treatment from that clinician.  The only criteria for the directory is a community member makes the recommendation.

The directory is designed as a starting place and in no way takes the place of you researching who to see before you see them.  The author takes no responsibility for other’s decisions and their outcomes.
