Description:

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.
