Guest: Dr. Peter Malliaris, a leading expert in tendinopathy research and clinical practice for over 15 years.

Here is what we will cover today:

Effective Management of Tendinopathy:

Exercise and Education:
- Importance of progressive exercise to build tendon tolerance.
- Education on managing symptoms and avoiding aggravating activities.
Isometrics and Loading:
- Isometrics were initially thought to reduce pain but recent studies show progressive loading is equally effective.

Adjunct Therapies:

Shockwave and PRP:
- Evidence on their effectiveness is mixed; more placebo-controlled studies needed.
Scans and Imaging:
- Not necessary for diagnosis; used if initial treatments fail to identify other possible issues.

Pain and Function Management:

Mechanisms of Pain:
- Pain is multifactorial; education should address beliefs and neuromuscular factors.
Loading and Tolerance:
- Gradual increase in load is crucial for rehabilitation.
Individualized Education:
- Tailored education interventions for conditions like rotator cuff pain.
