Dr Peter Malliaras and Greg talk tendons, tendinopathy and rehab

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

A deep dive into the world of exercise, pain and injury with a Movement Optimism spin as opposed to the kinesiopathological model. The traditional view of the human body has considered to be much more akin to car when we should have been viewing like a robust ecosystem. This is a masterclass on critical thinking and hopes to get you challenging your biases as well as ours.
