Perhaps he has developed proximal hamstring tendonitis? Has he been doing
lots of curls for his rehabilitation work. Diagnosis is really by palpation
and behaviour of symptoms.

Subject: Hamstring Rehab.
I have a semi-pro footballer who is returning to full training after
approximately 5 weeks out with a strain to the Biceps Femoris. We have gone
through all the necessary extensibility and strength exercises, together
with
an amount of functional work. When we have asked the player to step his
training up to include three-quarter and full pace running, he feels a
tightness close to the origin of his hamstring. The original injury was
mid-belly. All the signs of extensibility and strength are good.
Could anybody suggest what the problem may be and how it can best be
addressed?
