Summary

Proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) is tendinopathy of the semimembranosus and/or biceps femoris/semitendinosus complex. Previous studies have shown the efficacy of laser therapy in the treatment of tendinopathy. To the best of the investigator's knowledge, no study has compared the effects of high-power LASER therapy with conventional physiotherapy programs in proximal hamstring tendinopathy patients. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effects of high-power laser therapy on pain and muscle power in proximal hamstring tendinopathy patients.
