Do you feel pain or a burning sensation right at the back of your thigh, making walking difficult and affecting your daily lifestyle activities? This can be due to hamstring tendonitis, caused by inflammation of the tendon on the back of your thigh.
ANF Therapy®️ is the most advanced treatment for hamstring tendonitis. It uses frequency medicine to resolve pain and discomfort without medication. ANF Devices are applied to the affected body areas to help strengthen the hamstring muscles and reduce inflammation.
What is hamstring tendinopathy?
If your hamstrings feel burning, it could be due to hamstring tendonitis. This inflammatory condition affects the tendons on the back of your thigh that connect the hamstring (a thick band of muscles) to your bones. It occurs when you overuse or overstretch your tendons.
Hamstring muscles help you bend your knees and extend your hip, so injury to the hamstring can cause pain in your knee and hip joint.
What causes hamstring tendonitis?
Hamstring tendonitis develops when you overuse your thigh muscles and put repetitive stress on your tendons, which causes inflammation of the hamstring tendons.
Who is at risk of getting hamstring tendonitis?
Athletes are at higher risk of getting hamstring tendonitis than others. Sports activities that increase your risk of hamstring tendonitis include:
- Runner
- Football
- Hockey
- Badminton
- Cricket
- Basketball
Other factors can also increase your risk of hamstring tendonitis.
- Age above 40
- History of previous hamstring injury
- Muscle imbalance
What are the symptoms of hamstring tendonitis?

- Pain or discomfort around your buttocks, thigh and lower part of the leg

Management of hamstring tendonitis with ANF Therapy®️:
If your hamstrings feel like burning, ANF Therapy®️ is the newest and most advanced holistic approach to treating hamstring inflammation. It targets the underlying dysfunctions rather than just managing symptoms. This therapy utilises specialised ANF Devices designed to improve the body’s neural signalling and reduce inflammation. It aims to enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
ANF Therapy®️ aims to restore mobility and function in the hamstring tendon without the need for invasive procedures or medications. Patients often notice a substantial reduction in discomfort and stiffness after the first session, enabling them to regain their physical activity more quickly and with lasting results.
Your ANF Therapist will take a history and do your clinical examination to confirm the site and cause of your disease.
History:
During history, your ANF Therapist will ask the following questions.
- Which side of the leg is affected?
- How much pain do you feel?
- Does this pain radiate downwards or not?
- Do you feel any tingling sensation?
- Does this pain affect your daily lifestyle activities?
- Do you have any history of previous injury?
Physical examination:
During the physical examination, your ANF Therapist will ask you to walk to check the signs of distress. They will assess your hip joint, back of your thigh and knee joint to pinpoint the exact cause of the disease. They will palpate your thigh to check:
- Warmth and tenderness
- Compare the affected side muscles with the normal side to check muscle wasting
- Range of motion at your hip joint and knee joint
Neurological examination:
Neurological assessment includes checking the following:
- Muscle strength and muscle tone
- Reflexes at the hip and knee joint
- Sensory supply of your leg
Application of ANF Devices:
Your ANF Therapist will suggest a treatment plan according to the severity of your disease. This plan includes applying different types of ANF Devices, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant devices, that help relieve hamstring inflammation.
ANF Therapy®️ not only aims to alleviate symptoms but also treats the root cause of disease. It activates your body’s natural healing mechanisms to reduce inflammation and improve the strength of hamstring muscles by optimising neurological frequencies in the body.

Follow-up:
ANF Devices are changed after 72 hours of application. Your ANF Therapists will create a personalised treatment plan and educate you about the changes and how they affect your body.

FAQs:
What is the difference between strain and tendonitis (strain vs tendonitis)?
Both of these pathologies affect your tendon. Tendonitis tends to develop gradually, but strain occurs suddenly due to overstretching of hamstring tendons. ANF Therapy®️ helps treat both conditions effectively.Is hamstring tendonitis the same as a tendon tear?
Hamstring tendonitis and tendon tear are not. Hamstring tendonitis is caused by inflammation of the hamstring due to overuse of the hamstring tendon or due to injury. In contrast, a tendon tear is a severe injury in which your tendon pulls away from your hamstring muscles.
Can I still run with hamstring tendonitis?
Rest is also compulsory in managing hamstring tendonitis. Effective management of hamstring tendinopathy includes weight management. You can manage your hamstring tendonitis by reducing your running volume and adapting to slow running. Moreover, running on a flat surface can also help.
What is the fastest way to treat hamstring tendonitis?
ANF Therapy®️ may be the fastest way to treat hamstring tendonitis. It uses small ANF Devices applied to the affected areas of the body to reduce inflammation and strengthen the hamstring muscles and tendons.About ANF Therapy®️
