Education, rapport and convenience are key to participants’ perceptions of receiving physiotherapy or shockwave for proximal hamstring tendinopathy: a qualitative study
Both physiotherapy and ESWT were perceived as beneficial for PHT management, with important differences related to ease of treatment adherence and other benefits. These findings emphasise the importance of individualised care and consultation with the patient when choosing treatment for PHT.
