This episode is a REPLAY of one of the most popular Physio Explained episodes we've ever released, originally launched on the 23rd of September 2020.In this episode with Ebonie Rio, we discuss optimal loading for tendinopathy. We explore: Tendon load in rehabilitationDifferential diagnosis in tendinopathyDifferences in treatment for peritendon vs tendon issuesKey tips and tricks during rehabilitation of tendonsRecent evidence based changes in clinical practiceThis episode is closely tied to Ebonie's Practical she did with us. Inside Practicals, you get to see exactly how top experts assess and treat specific conditions - helping you become a better clinician, faster.

We dive into Tendon health where we discuss tendons function, ways to keep our tendons healthy, difference between type of tendon issues (tendonitis vs tendinopathy), and ways to rehab these injuries. We also discuss what the best type of muscle contractions are for tendon rehab...listen to the end to find out

Modern athletes know that strength and endurance alone aren't enough. The ability to generate power efficiently, resist injury, and recover quickly depends just as much on the health of connective tissues—tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix (ECM)—as on muscle strength itself. Yet, these vital tissues have long been misunderstood as relatively static and untrainable. The latest research proves otherwise: tendons and ligaments are remarkably adaptive, capable of remodeling and strengthening in response to targeted loading and proper nutrition. The white paper presented in this podcast distills more than a decade of cutting-edge research into a clear, evidence-based framework for improving connective tissue health and performance. Drawing on the work of leading scientists and sports medicine experts, it explains how short bouts of specific mechanical loading—paired with precise nutritional strategies—stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance tendon stiffness, and accelerate recovery. The paper also details the biological mechanisms behind these adaptations, offering a practical roadmap for both elite and dedicated recreational climbers. Whether you're looking to climb harder, rehab a connective tissue injury, or simply increase your resilience so as to stay injury-free longer, this research-driven guide provides the tools to do it. Listeners (and readers) will learn how to structure brief daily tendon-training sessions, time nutrient intake to maximize collagen synthesis, and avoid common anti-adaptive mistakes that slow recovery. Backed by peer-reviewed science and real-world application, this paper redefines how athletes can train smarter—and perform stronger—through the science of connective tissue optimization.

Dr. E here with another asynchronous episode of Untold Physio Stories, featuring the great Dr. Wells!We're diving deep into the trenches of chronic elbow tendinopathies, specifically lateral epicondylalgia, and the surprising speed of response in a couple of recent patient cases.What We Cover in This Episode:The Power of Length and Load: We revisit the concept of using isometric contractions in a lengthened position (70-80% MVC) for superior tendon loading, inspired by Dr Michaud's excellent tendinopathy article.Dr. E shares a recent article on LinkedIn by Dr. Malliaras showing that this position creates significantly higher tensile force in the tendon compared to concentric/eccentric exercises, making it ideal for remodeling and managing inflammation.Case 1: The WFH Warrior (Lateral Epicondylalgia): A work-from-home patient with bilateral elbow pain from excessive arm raises found complete symptom resolution in just two weeks using the lengthened isometric contraction technique (wrist flexion, pronation, resisting extension). We discuss why this response was so much faster than typically expected for tendinopathy. Was it pain modulation, a true strength issue, or something else?Case 2: The Chronic Tennis Coach: A long-term case of lateral epicondylalgia that didn't respond to the initial lengthened isometric program or even repeated cervical retractions. We explore the eventual success with a Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique (lateral ulnar glide with gripping/wrist extension), highlighting the sometimes-necessary shift from exercise to pain-modulating manual therapy before resuming loading.The Big Question: Dr. Wells and Dr. E debate the varying patient responses, the balance between mid-range vs. lengthened loading, and why these tendinopathy cases can be so unpredictable. Dr. Wells also shares a cautionary tale about an athlete who didn't respond to conservative care, ultimately revealing a significant tear.

Clinicians appreciate the value of a trustworthy clinical practice guideline for helping guide decisions in practice. Professor François Desmeules (University of Montréal) led an international team of shoulder experts who synthesised the latest evidence on diagnosing and non-surgically managing rotator cuff tendinopathy. Today he shares the headlines of the CPG and explains how the guideline group made sense of all the evidence to come up with recommendations for assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, including return to sport. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Rotator cuff tendinopathy diagnosis, non-surgical medical care and rehabilitation CPG: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.13182

SummaryDr. Brandon Parker joins Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen to break down pain, mobility, and recovery in everyday terms. He explains how pain doesn't just come from our bodies, but also from our minds and social lives. He emphasizes how strength training, even 3 hours a week, builds resilience, metabolic health, and community. For pain, he outlines realistic ways to move safely, reduce fear around joints, and escape the “couch cycle.” He also covers migraine relief, sciatica, tendon health, hypermobility, and knowing when to push—and when to hold back. The episode leaves listeners empowered with simple tools to live beyond pain.Chapters(00:00) Welcome & Intro to Dr. Brandon Parker(02:12) Why Brandon Chose Evidence‑Based Chiropractic(08:11) Understanding Pain: Bio‑Psycho‑Social Model(12:23) Strength Training for Prevention & Recovery(16:38) “Bad Back” Isn't a Life Sentence(24:46) Neck Alignment vs. Root Cause of Migraines(29:10) Sciatica: Inflammation, Not Just Compression(36:21) Tendon Health: From Tendonitis to Tendinopathy(40:13) How to Approach Hypermobility Safely(46:53) First Steps for Nonspecific Back Pain(50:51) Warning Signs & When to Stop an Activity(55:53) Everyday Daily Movement: Gentle SquatsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7Connect with Dr. Brandon Parker on Instagram: @dr.brandon.parkerHow to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
