I have tried Lacrrose balls, foam rollers, stretches (which worked best) and all sorts but this really seems to soften them up. Worth noting incase you ever get them because they really are a pain in the a@@e!  Had this problem a year now and it takes a lot of the joy out of running, although it usually doesn't do enough to stop you it's a nuisance! I think it's something to do with the pfomoris muscle which presses against a sciatic nerve and transfers pain down the back of the leg. I think it's best to do as below and stretch regularly, also Ibuprofen can help to. That's just from my experience though, it may still be a good idea to see a trained Physio. http://youtu.be/0kxDkcpk22A

Yep, lots of us have the same thing, including me! Good video. Suggest you should also checkout hip flexors. Be careful not to become reliant on anti-inflammatories though. You should not train with them. They will just disguise the problem & make it worse in the long run. Edited by user 01 November 2015 17:54:07(UTC)

You should be careful regarding self diagnosis as there are many structures in that area . It could be high hamstring tendinopathy, tight hip flexors altering pelvis/hip biodynamics, tight spinal muscles doing the same, or is it a postural chain problem? Always best to get professional advice.
Stretching is not always the answer, it may be a weakness somewhere that needs strengthening.
