Latest Research: Tendon Healing, Shockwave Therapy & Hamstring Injury Prevention

In this episode, Brodie dives into three recently published research papers that help answer some of the biggest questions surrounding proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) and tendon rehabilitation. From understanding what’s really happening inside a painful tendon, to whether shockwave therapy lives up to the hype, and what we can learn from hamstring injury prevention research, this episode translates the latest science into practical takeaways you can apply to your own recovery.

In this episode, you'll learn

•  Why tendinopathy is far more complex than simple "wear and tear" 
•  The emerging role of inflammation, ageing, recovery, sleep and metabolic health in tendon healing 
•  Why progressive loading continues to be the cornerstone of successful PHT rehab 
•  What the latest evidence says about shockwave therapy and whether it's worth the cost 
•  Why exercise-based rehabilitation still outperforms most passive treatment options 
•  The surprising findings on ice, cryotherapy and tendon recovery 
•  Key lessons from hamstring injury prevention research that can help reduce setbacks and recurrence 
•  Why strength, capacity and consistency matter more than stretching alone 

Whether you're currently struggling with PHT, returning from a hamstring injury, or simply want to stay up to date with the latest tendon research, this episode provides evidence-based insights without the scientific jargon.

Key Takeaway

Successful tendon recovery rarely comes down to a single treatment. The strongest evidence continues to support a combination of sensible load management, progressive strengthening, patience, and addressing the broader factors that influence healing—including sleep, stress, recovery, and overall health. There is hope, and understanding the science can help you make better decisions throughout your rehab journey.
