The 1 year + study is also accepted - will share soon as this paper really drives our knowledge forward regarding tendon remodelling in the longterm!

Great research from Tjerk Visser & colleagues has given us normative values for calf testing that go beyond reps alone!  Assessing peak height, total work & total displacement can provide valuable insight into calf function. Visser et al. (2025) 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Awesome work Sam @kgSilbernagel @KimHebertLosier @rj_devos @TendonGlasgow @Bill_Vicenzino

It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow

How should we rank exercise parameters in Achilles Tendinopathy? 🥇🥈🥉 Great new @BJSM_BMJ study from @YoannDemangeot and a stellar list of co-authors @Seth0Neill @degache @HakanAlfredson @RachelChesterPT @RuthChimenti @rj_devos @adrianescriche @BasHabets @MaffulliNicola @SPMagnuss @DrPeteMalliaras @myles_physio @drjrees @tendonpain @sancho_igor @kgSilbernagel @drvgremeaux @RedhaTaiar Open access 🔗 bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Why Menopause Matters in Physio 🦴💪🧠 Midlife MSK pain? It’s not always ageing. Hormonal changes are often missed—leading to poor outcomes. It’s time to talk menopause in rehab. 👇 Read the blog: dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/menopause… #MenopauseMatters #Physiotherapy #MSKpain
