Pain Right Where Your Butt Meets Your Thigh? Stop Stretching Your Hamstrings
"That deep, nagging ache you feel while sitting down is a tendon cry for help, not a tight muscle."
You feel a deep, stubborn ache right at the sit-bone. You constantly lean forward to stretch your hamstrings out, but the ache only becomes sharper and more sensitive over the following hours.
This is High Hamstring Tendinopathy, often driven by a structural bottleneck where the proximal tendons are compressed against the ischial tuberosity due to poor pelvic tracking. Stretching pulls the tendon tightly against the bone, causing further micro-tearing, ischemia, and worsening the pain loop.
How we remove the bottleneck
Localized instrument-assisted or precise manual soft tissue therapy to improve local vascularity, combined with progressive isometric and eccentric loading protocols to structurally rebuild the tendon tissue.
This is for chronic cases. Not first-time tweaks.
Been sitting on a painful, aching sit-bone for over 6 months? Stop stretching it out. Let the advanced clinical team at Aches Away Toronto assess and structurally load the tendon correctly.
