In this episode of Osteo Talk, we speak with Max Hopes, osteopath, strength and conditioning coach, lecturer, and PhD candidate, who will be presenting at this year's Osteopathy Conference on the Gold Coast. Max shares his clinical and personal insights into lower limb tendinopathy, discussing the latest thinking on diagnosis, management, and the lived experiences of people dealing with these often persistent conditions.

Max Hopes is an osteopath originally trained in the UK, with clinical experience across Australia and Japan. Based in Melbourne, he combines clinical practice with teaching and PhD research. His doctoral work focuses primarily on proximal hamstring tendinopathy, while also exploring other common lower limb tendon conditions.
