Dr Ebonie Rio, renowned sports physiotherapist and leading tendon researcher, breaks down the complexities of tendon rehabilitation. She discusses the role of muscle activation, neuroplastic training and the central nervous system in recovery, as well as key considerations for load management, dynamic training readiness and tendon capacity.

We dive into Ebonie's approach to technology-enabled rehabilitation, including external pacing, feedback and force-trace assessment. Ebonie also explores strategies to make tendinopathy management more accessible and integrated for clinicians and athletes alike.

Key Takeaways:

• Muscle activation and neuroplastic training are crucial in tendinopathy rehab.
• Utilization of real-time force-traces as biofeedback in tendon training.
• Communicating the importance of adequate loading with athletes.
• The future of tendinopathy care should be clinically accessible and integrated.
