Understanding Tendon Management

The podcast delves into effective management strategies for Achilles and patellar tendinopathies, addressing common misconceptions. It highlights that many athletes often passively engage with medical professionals instead of actively collaborating with strength coaches during rehabilitation. Strength coaches tend to overlook the importance of understanding the specific activities that provoke tendon pain, especially in high-impact sports like basketball. The conversation emphasizes the necessity for a seamless integration of rehab and strength training, suggesting that strength coaches should focus on appropriately reducing agility and explosive activities while promoting slower, more controlled movements.
