Can Eccentric Exercising Cause Harm When Suffering From Tear On Hamstring Tendon?
have been diagnosed with a partial thickness tear 8mm at the junction of the hamstring tendon and ischial tuberosity - recommendation is surgery as its not responded to conservative treatment. Is there any danger in doing eccentric exercises still within range? ie will it cause a complete avulsion?

Hello,
I would not recommend you any type of exercise at this time otherwise these tear can become complete. I would rather suggest you to do some rest and wait. If your symptoms are not improving than you can go ahead with surgery.
