Hamstring origin tendonitis most commonly occurs due to repetitive or prolonged activities placing strain on the hamstring tendon, such as running, jumping or kicking activities.

The most common symptom of hamstring origin tendonitis is pain in the lower buttock. People may also experience an ache or stiffness in the buttock that is made worse by activity such as running, jumping or kicking.
