Tendinopathy: Beyond tendon loading. With Dr Neal Millar and Dr Paul Kirwan
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.
