I’ve really enjoyed sharing our free video series with you this week. Part 1 and Part 2 are still available if you’re not quite up to date with it, just register HERE.
We’ve had some great questions in response to Tricky Tendons. One that comes up, again and again, is, “What are the best exercises?“. Now we know, in reality, there is no one exercise that will be ‘best’ for every person you see. That’s why in the series we’ve talked through the principles behind exercise prescription like knowing key deficits to address and positions that aggravate as well as options for progression. In Part 3 we go one step further and showcase a selection of exercise videos putting these principles into practice.

We know that around 40% of patients don’t see a resolution of symptoms with progressive rehab alone which is why Part 3 also explores the bigger picture to help you treat the person and not just their tendon, including:
- How treatment may differ across tendinopathy
subgroups - Common comorbidities and how to adapt rehab
- Key messages to enhance a patient’s understanding
- Why true hip flexor tendinopathy is rare in endurance runners (and what it might be instead!)
- Exercise prescription for hip flexor and adductor tendinopathy as well as peroneal pain
- Secrets to a successful return to running
