Im a big fan of the whole eccentric loading thing for tendon injuries, the best of which Ive found for the hamstring tendons is running backwards. I had most of last year utterly destroyed by hamstring tendinitis a first bout lasted 3 months and eventually went away through rest and PT but it came back a few months later. That time I started running backwards for just a couple of minutes at a time and the pain was all gone within a week, it hasn't been back at all in the last 9 months so Im pretty happy with the backwards running, even if it is just a placebo. Strengthening the hamstring is also a good idea. |

hmm interesting, ill definitely try it. Would walking backwards at first help or just the running backwards? |

Would backward stairclimbing be an effective eccentric exercise of hamstrings? |

it sounds like it would be to me but would need input from others. |

I gave it a try carrying two ten-lb dumbbells, doing two steps at a time. It was a challenge to stay balanced. It seems to be similar to squats. I'm not sure about the hamstring component. |

hmm idk if i'd like that then. Was worth a try though. I tried these http://www.livestrong.com/video/2753-strengthen-hamstrings/ out and they seem ok but obviously no weight so they are a bit easier. |
