My current PT has simply been giving me hip flexor strengthening stretches and seems perplexed over much of my symptoms. I will look around for a mechanically trained PT in the area that my insurance will hopefully cover, my doctor would be happy to refer me to someone else. I get the sense that he isn't happy with what my PT is doing either - not that he isn't doing all that he can but he doesn't seem able to really help me much.
I will see what I can find, thanks for the link.
I suspect the only muscle that was actually pulled was my quad, and the tendinitis in the hamstring seemed clear. I can point to the minute that I messed the quad up, but while I had the symptoms of a pulled hamstring muscle - warmth and definitive pain right in the middle of the thing - I couldn't say when it happened. That always had me wondering, the tendinitis seems to be about gone.
Thankfully I am feeling better enough to ramp up the exercise gently - but when symptoms moving to the OTHER leg now, it is time to do something different. Thank you for the information, it is greatly appreciated.
