Physio Edge 005 Tendons And Tendinopathy

What causes tendon breakdown? What are the stages of tendinopathy, and how do they effect your treatment? Is treatment just about eccentric training? When should NSAID’s be used?

This is part of the great discussion I had with Jill Cook about tendons and tendinopathy. We also chatted about some other aspects of tendinopathy, including

Factors that contribute to tendinopathy beyond biomechanics
Eccentrics - what is the future of training to rebuild tendons
Return to sport or running after tendinopathy
Avoiding tendinopathy
Treatment at each stage of tendinopathy
Rehabing achilles tendinopathy
Rehab for hamstring tendinopathy

plus we related all of these to clinical scenarios. Enjoy!
