About this episode
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.
