Tendinopathy, Load, and the Path Back to Performance

The conversation delves into the complexities of tendinopathy, emphasizing the importance of understanding it as a load tolerance problem. It explores the continuum of tendinopathy, the role of mechanical loading in tendon response, and the need to restore capacity rather than just calm symptoms. This episode is designed for clinicians, coaches, students, and active individuals who want a deeper understanding of tendon rehabilitation from both a physiological and performance perspective.
