Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy Tips for runners 🏃‍♀️

DO ✅ – Strengthen the tendon (this is key!)

1️⃣ Start with ISOMETRICS
Exercises where the muscle contracts without moving the joint (e.g. glute bridge holds). This helps reduce pain and start loading the tendon safely.

2️⃣ Progress to ECCENTRICS
Slowly lengthening the muscle under load (e.g. slow lowering hamstring exercises).
This helps rebuild tendon strength and tolerance to load.

3️⃣ Progress to ISOTONIC / DYNAMIC STRENGTH
Controlled strengthening through full movement (e.g. RDLs, hamstring curls).
This prepares the tendon for running, sprinting and higher loads.

⚠️ Remember:
Tendons often feel better while you’re exercising. But if pain is worse later that day or the next morning, you probably did too much.

DON’T ❌

🚫 Foam roll directly on the tendon
Tendons don’t like direct compression, which can irritate it further.

🚫 Avoid hamstring stretching
An aggravated tendon is often made worse by stretching the hamstring.

🚫 Limit prolonged sitting
The one thing tendons hate more than being stretched is being compressed.
If you have a desk job, stand up and move regularly.

💡 Patience is key - tendons adapt slowly, but they respond well to the right loading.

Hiya Health Explains: Do I still need physio after a C-section?

It’s a common myth that if you’ve had a C-section, recovery is just about letting the scar heal.

A C-section is actually major abdominal surgery, and it affects much more than just the skin. Your abdominal muscles, core function and pelvic floor are all impacted.

Physiotherapy can help support your recovery by guiding safe return to exercise, rebuilding core strength, managing scar tissue, and addressing issues like back pain, pelvic floor symptoms or abdominal separation.

So no, recovery after a C-section isn’t just about waiting it out - the right support can make a big difference in how you move and feel.

If you’ve had a C-section and want guidance returning to exercise or rebuilding strength, our women’s health physio team at Hiya Health can help.

Hiya Health Explains: Can I exercise with a heart condition?

It’s a common myth that if you have a heart condition, you should avoid exercise altogether.

In reality, for many people, the right type of exercise can be an important part of managing heart health. Research shows that appropriately prescribed exercise can help improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, energy levels and overall quality of life.

The key is making sure your exercise program is tailored to your condition, current fitness level, and medical advice.

So no, having a heart condition doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop exercising - it means exercising safely and with the right guidance.

If you’ve been unsure about what exercise is safe for you, our exercise physiology team can help design a program that supports your heart health and confidence with movement.

Hiya Health Explains: Does stretching reduce injuries in runners?
It’s a common belief that stretching is the key to preventing running injuries - but the reality is a little more complex.
Mitch from Hiya Health Cleveland explains that stretching alone doesn’t significantly reduce injury risk for runners. While mobility can play a role in helping your body move well, injuries are usually influenced by a combination of factors.
Things like sudden increases in running distance, inadequate strength, limited recovery, and training load changes tend to play a much bigger role.
Stretching can still be useful - especially if it helps you feel looser or move more comfortably, but it’s just one small piece of the bigger picture.
If you’re dealing with running niggles or want help building a stronger, more resilient running program, our physio and exercise physiology team at Hiya Health can help.

Exercise looks different for every woman. For some, it’s about strength. For others, it’s confidence, clarity, or simply a moment for themselves.

This International Women’s Day, we asked the women in our community one simple question: Why is exercise important to you?

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that when we support and uplift women, we all benefit. And sometimes that support starts with something simple: creating space for women to move, build strength, and prioritise their health.

Their answers are a reminder that movement isn’t just about fitness - it’s about feeling strong, capable, and supported in everyday life.

At Hiya Health, we're proud to provide environments to support all women with their health goals.
Here’s to women supporting women, and moving in ways that help us feel our best. :purple_heart:

🎤 Meet Brenda.

Brenda works regularly with Senior Exercise Physiologist, Alyssa, out of our Labrador clinic to support her bone health and long-term fitness, focusing on age-related conditions like osteoporosis.

We recently mic’d her up for a session, and it was full of strength, laughs, and a few confessions 😄 She hates crab walks, loves Pilates, and is a big Emily in Paris fan. As she says, “If I can get through crab walks, I can get through anything” - and honestly, we couldn’t agree more.

Sessions like these show that building confidence, independence, and resilience can also be fun and full of personality 💙

World Obesity Day 💙

Obesity is a complex, chronic health condition shaped by many factors, including biology, environment, access to care, mental health and lived experience.

Today is about shifting the conversation away from judgement and towards understanding, compassion, and evidence-based care. When we reduce stigma and support inclusive healthcare, we create better health outcomes for individuals and communities alike.

At Hiya Health, we’re committed to providing respectful, person-centred care that supports health, function, and wellbeing at every stage of life. Changing the story starts with understanding.

Hiya Health Explains: Is exercise unsafe during pregnancy?
It’s a common myth - and one that often causes unnecessary fear.
For most pregnancies, exercise is not only safe, it’s recommended. Staying active can support energy levels, mood, strength, circulation, back health, and preparation for birth.
The key is adjusting intensity, choosing appropriate movements, and progressing safely as your body changes.
Pregnancy isn’t a time to stop moving - it’s a time to move differently and with the right guidance.
If you’re unsure what’s safe for you, our exercise physiology team can help you build a plan that supports both you and your baby.
