Posterior thigh pain in a pole dancer.

Hmm, considering the bent raise technique has a good immediate effect I think that it sounds like you're on the right track. I agree with 'physicol' that lumbar Ax/ mobs may be appropriate if dysfunctional but you may also (if you have not already) want to ax for piriformis tightness (again dry needling may do wonders).

Hope this has been of some assistance

Hi
Have you checked strength (L) versus (R) hammies with dynamometer?
Pain pattern sounds like it might be hamstring origin tendinopathy/partial tear or central tendon tear- slow to heal like most tendinopathies and aggravated by aggresive stretching - could confirm with ultrasound diagnosis?
If so she probably should stop stretching it and focus on hammy strength training(eccentric/concentric inner and outer ROM)
