Here is my recent chat with Dr Ruth Chimenti about Achilles tendinopathy

We touched on some interesting topics, including

  • Kinesiophobia and whether it changes with treatment
  • Pain education for tendinopathy - what should it involve? does it work?
  • Patient centred rehabilitation

Here is a link to some brand new trial data from Ruth's lab - she tested efficacy of pain education which is novel for Achilles tendinopathy.
