Hi, I was doing lots of HIIT training last year and then started the Insanity programme and felt a lot of tightness in my right hamstring. Its never been the same since and flares up if I do a lot of exercise. I was running recently and experienced an extreme burning pain in my right hip for 24 hours after. What can I do to relieve this and get back to training at full potential? Thank you, Maya  

Hi Maya Good steer on the HIIT program - one  of the issues is that despite the HI bit there is very little work on getting stronger - and I think this is where your issue lies. Your hamstring tightness is due to a lack of strength rather than true muscle tightness that needs stretching. Embark on a S&C program that beefs up your hammies, gluts and calfs. Give it 3 weeks or so and I'm sure (see below!) you'll feel heaps different. If you think that when doing any of the above makes any of your symptoms worse then stop - it might be a nerve/back issue. Classically burning pains can mean nerve irritation, but as it was a once off... The Guru Six Physio
