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.

Many people say the hardest part of being injured is the impact on their mental health. On top of that lots of people take up sport to improve their mental health or as a coping mechanism. Many sporting events are social events. People make friends through sport so when you’re injured you feel losses in many ways.

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.
