In this episode we spoke to Dr Neal Millar, Orthopaedic Surgeon and researcher at the University of Glasgow, and Dr Paul Kirwan, Physiotherapist and researcher with expertise in rheumatology and tendinopathy/sports about their recent publication in Nature Reviews called Tendinopathy.
This is a not-to-be-missed episode for anyone interested in tendons and tendinopathy research. Neal and Paul provide an overview to the rationale for the paper, a broad discussion of contributing factors for tendinopathy and insights for individualised application of interventions for people with tendinopathy - including a few controversies.
