We had Dr Peter Malliaris on this week talking tendons.  Its great to hear different researcher clinicians provide their different takes on the same topic.  Dr Malliaris is a full time professor at Monash University with a keen interest in Tendinopathy.  He teaches the popular online course Tendinopathy rehab.

 

We talk about:

 

The role of injections in tendinopathy (hint: not much) The limitations of the literature and research surrounding exercise and tendinopathy

The role of load management in tendinopathy and why we don't have a lot of research on it despite it probably being the most important thing we can manage

The role of heavy loading, strength changes and tendinopathy recovery

Strength testing and tendinopathy rehab
