    Occasionally, but mainly pain in the piriformis area usually during/after sitting. Radiating pain in various places (and it changed) in th hamstring usually during and post exercise.

    Hamstrings have a dual function of propulsion and stability; every hamstring problem i've ever had that wasn't down to slipping on ice or something was later found to be part of a larger landscape of stability issues. My gut instinct would be that the physio is right about its origin being stability, but the approach to recovery is obviously not yielding results. I have similar pains to you that have been attributed to bursitis. I'm throwing a lot of anti-inflammatory cream at my hip, and doing the swastika stretch, but a pigeon will do. Obviously i've also quit running for as long as it takes; this is the part most people don't want to do.

    Some takeaways from Denise Park's excellent talk last night:

    Don't try and stretch your iliotibial band - you can't, and it irritates the tissues around it.

    Hip joint pain is felt in the groin - pain on the outer aspect of the hip is not from the hip joint.

    2/4/7 rule - don't do more than 2 hard days in a row, do 4 decent days a week, do something 7 days a week.

    Don't stretch before running, just move your joints/muscles through the range of movement they will be going through for what you plan to do. She clearly is not a stretching enthusiast.

    Take care with very cushioned shoes and those with carbon plates - ease into them, don't wear them all the time, and do foot and ankle strengthening exercises.

    Kinesiotape - she went on an 8 day course on its use - there are different ways to put it on - if advised to use it by a physio get them to show you how.

    Strengthen, strengthen, strengthen - core exercises are crucial.

    Not all under foot pain is plantar fasciitis, not all swelling at the back of the knee is a Baker's cyst, not all knee pain is arthritis or related to meniscus problems.

    Don't have joint surgery without seeing a good physio first - post Covid, 8 patients seeing her were able to cancel hip replacement surgery.

    She spoke for 75 minutes - all worth taking in.
