What if the key to healing a stubborn tendon injury isn’t just in the tendon—but in the brain? In this episode, we dive into cutting-edge research that flips traditional tendinopathy rehab on its head. We explore why eccentric-heavy protocols often fail, how cortical inhibition sabotages recovery, and what actually works to stimulate tendon healing.

From isometric holds that rewire the nervous system to metronome-paced strength training, triplanar movement, and personalized loading based on joint laxity, this episode unpacks powerful, evidence-based strategies to manage chronic tendinopathy. Whether you’re an athlete, clinician, or rehab nerd, you’ll walk away with tools to rethink how tendons are trained, treated, and rebuilt for long-term strength and performance.
