Posterior hip pain is complex so I teamed up .hip.physio for his expert input to create this graphic
Pain locations are approximate and will vary between individuals and in case you’re wondering, PHT = Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
For more great hip content check out .hip.physio’s Instagram timeline. He has some real gems on there!

Are runners tight or just tired?! 🤔
Last time I raced a 10km I was tight for about 2 weeks! My hamstrings were not happy. They felt achy and solid and would threaten to cramp if I tried to strengthen them.
Of course it was all my fault. Doing a charity race with my friends without enough prep was always going to be a bit risky! I got through it ok but paid a price afterwards.
When runners experience something similar and a muscle feels tight they usually opt for stretching. Superficially it makes sense - it feels tight so stretch it - but actually often that tightness is due to fatigue from excess training. By all means stretch if it helps symptoms but the effects might be quite short term.
A better solution is first to focus on recovery. Cut back the mileage and intensity, allow time to rest and make quality sleep a priority. A week or two can make a huge difference.
As a clinician if we test a runner in a fatigued state we will probably find muscle weakness but this can just be the result of fatigue. Re-test after a recovery period to get a better idea of strength deficits that need to be addressed. Weak muscles can fatigue more rapidly and strength work can help address this. Just bear in mind it will add to the fatigue, so plan it in to the schedule carefully and allow sufficient recovery afterwards.
My hamstrings are fine now by the way 😉
