In this episode with Dr Jill Cook, we explore the tendon continuum model and the pathophysiology of tendons according to current research. We then delve deeper into what is clinically relevant and how we might prescribe rehabilitation for a real case. Jill challenges us on the notion of not just loading a tendon heavy and slow, and has practical tips around measuring load, not just pain. Dr Jill Cook is a Professor in musculoskeletal health in the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre at La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia. Jill's research areas include sports medicine and tendon injury. After completing her PhD in 2000, she has investigated tendon pathology, treatment options and risk factors for tendon injury. Jill currently supplements her research by conducting a specialist tendon practice and by lecturing and presenting workshops both in Australia and overseas.Our host is Michael Rizk from Physio Network and iMoveU: https://cutt.ly/ojJEMZs 👏 Become a better physiotherapist with online education from world-leading experts: https://www.physio-network.com/
