Takeaways

Peter Malairis is a full-time professor at Monash University. Recent research shows shockwave therapy is ineffective for tendon pain. Calcification in tendons may be an adaptive response. PRP injections do not outperform placebo treatments. Stem cell therapy lacks sufficient evidence for tendon healing. Adjunct therapies should be accessible, cheap, and safe. Heel wedges have shown significant effects in treating Achilles tendinopathy. Loading strategies must be tailored to individual patient needs. Tendon stiffness is primarily improved through heavy loading. Fluid movement within tendons is essential for adaptation. Loading the tendon heavier leads to better fluid movement. Isometrics are crucial for early rehabilitation stages. Heavy maximal eccentrics are key for long-term adaptation. Fluid movement impacts stress relaxation in tendons. Tendon stiffness increases with appropriate loading. Metabolic health is essential for tendon adaptation. Pathological tendons may require different loading strategies. Fluid movement can help reduce pain and improve function. Plyometrics may not provide sufficient strain for adaptation. Blood flow restriction can be effective for tendon rehabilitation.

Takeaways

David discusses the challenges of managing time and opportunities in his work. Jake shares his personal experience with weight loss and its impact on his social life. David explains his approach to treating patellofemoral pain and the importance of loading. The conversation highlights the biopsychosocial model in understanding pain. David emphasizes the need for less frequent loading for patellofemoral pain compared to tendon pain. Jake questions the structural understanding of patellofemoral pain and its implications for rehab. David shares his personal journey with Achilles tendinopathy and its impact on his athletic performance. The discussion reveals the common pitfalls in calf raise exercises for Achilles rehab. David advocates for high intensity and low frequency in calf raise training. The conversation concludes with insights on the differences between patellar and Achilles tendon management. Rehabbing an Achilles rupture requires careful management of tendon lengthening. Overcoming isometrics are effective for strengthening the Achilles during rehab. Real-world experiences can often contradict existing literature on rehabilitation. Personal experiences with tendon injuries highlight the unpredictability of recovery. Genetics may play a significant role in tendon injuries and recovery. Partial ruptures should be approached with caution, similar to tendinopathy. Pain response is less significant in Achilles rehabilitation compared to other injuries. It's crucial to focus on loading techniques rather than just range of motion. The literature on tendon injuries can be misleading and should be interpreted with caution. Effective rehabilitation requires pushing patients as hard as possible without exceeding their limits. Isometrics can clarify what's working in rehab. Varying surfaces can enhance Achilles rehab. Manipulating center of mass is crucial for rehab. Movement variety is often overlooked in rehab. Tendon mechanics play a significant role in recovery. Heel wedges can provide relief for insertional pain. Upper body tendons require a different approach. Movement variability is essential for upper limb function. Older athletes often lack movement variety and variability. A holistic approach to rehab includes strength, mobility, and control.
