Proximal Hamstring Injury Treatment with Focused ShockWave™ Therapy

Rehabilitate proximal hamstring injuries faster with reGener8 ZS1019 Focused ShockWave™ Therapy. This non-invasive treatment penetrates deep into muscle origins, accelerating tendon healing, reducing chronic pain, and restoring performance.

What is a Proximal Hamstring Injury?

A proximal hamstring injury refers to damage or tearing of the hamstring tendons at their origin near the ischial tuberosity (sit bone). These injuries often result from explosive acceleration, overstretching, or eccentric overload—common in athletes, runners, dancers, and jumpers.

Symptoms may include:

Deep buttock pain (especially when sitting or running)
Weakness in hip extension or knee flexion
Tenderness at the upper hamstring region
Recurring strains or tightness

These injuries can become chronic due to poor vascularization and prolonged tendon stress, often leading to proximal hamstring tendinopathy.

How reGener8 treats it

The reGener8 ZS1019 applies Focused ShockWave™ Therapy, specifically suited for deep musculoskeletal conditions like proximal hamstring injuries.

Therapeutic Mechanism:

Stimulates neovascularization to improve tendon blood flow
Enhances collagen regeneration and fibroblast activation
Disrupts fibrotic scar tissue and calcifications at the tendon origin
Reduces chronic inflammation and pain perception through nerve desensitization

Why Focused Therapy is Ideal:

Penetrates up to 8–12 cm, reaching the deep-seated hamstring origin
More precise and effective than radial therapy for high-resistance, low-vascular areas
Ideal for cases unresponsive to rest, massage, or dry needling

Device Capabilities:

Delivers up to 6 Bar pressure and 21 Hz frequency
Focused applicator allows pinpoint accuracy at ischial attachment
Safe, non-invasive, and requires minimal downtime

This treatment is widely used in sports physiotherapy, orthopaedics, and high-performance rehab protocols for chronic posterior thigh injuries.

Recommended treatment protocol

Mode: Focused ShockWave™ Therapy
Energy: 5–6 Bar
Frequency: 10–12 Hz
Shocks per session: 2500
Sessions: 4–6
Interval between sessions: Every 5–7 days

Palpate the tendon origin near the sit bone. Apply focused shockwaves directly to the painful and fibrotic zone. Combine with eccentric loading rehab for best long-term outcomes.
