1. So nice to see the @PRePPeD_Trial results finally out open-access! This study moves us one step closer to a definitive, full-scale trial in rehabilitation after patellar dislocation. @BritishPFSoc Collaborations and feedback are always welcome!

Not using #CognitiveFunctionalTherapy 🤔 If not, have a listen to #JOSPTInsights w/Dr Ruth Chang & Dr JP Caneiro as they walk us through why it is a mindset, not a modality 👉 ow.ly/q0xM50YoWzK 2026 comparative effectiveness #Review ➡️ ow.ly/TLre50YoWzM #yourJOSPT

More evidence on metabolic health and its relationship with Achilles tendinopathy. Our latest study supports this - In 8 million people, compared with a metabolically healthy group, MetS = 6–8× higher risk and 3–4× higher rate of Achilles tendinopathy

@King2980 @DrPeteMalliaras Hi Will. Both ways are possible. Persistent pain and disability may impose psychological burden. Equally, situational pre-disposition to psychological distress might precede the experience of pain/injury.

@DrPeteMalliaras Is it the fact your in persistent pain and have lost function that makes you feel depressed and catastrophise more or is it that those with pre-existing psychological profiles are more prone to tendinopathy?

Worth a read for anyone interested in tendons and psychological factors

@DrPeteMalliaras Exciting stuff Pete! This will be superb content as it always is with your courses...

My new Tendinopathy Rehabilitation Framework 👍 🆕 This will be launched at my face to face course in Melbourne 3rd/4th May 2025. lnkd.in/gG4bVsHu 2 years in the making. I'm really excited to share a preview: linkedin.com/posts/petermal…

3/3 But, PRP is not better than placebo in tendinopathy eg pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34342296/ Funnily enough, there was no mention of this in the recent systematic review by Oeding et al. 2025. Please share with patients. It is important that they are appropriately informed.

@Physio_Pat Congratulations @Physio_Pat !

I'm very happy to share I have passed my PhD, which explored neural deficits relevant to pain symptoms and functional impairments in individuals with Achilles or patellar tendinopathy. If you are interested, you can access it here: bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesi…
