Good course. The quiz was tricky enough as some questions had multiple options—a good challenge. However, gluteal tendinopathy is a common presentation; therefore, this content is very useful. Thank you!

Very good short course! The instructors talk about the LEAP study they have conducted. It comes with brilliant exercises and has immediately changed the way I treat Gluteal Tendinopathy. Can't wait to put it into practice. Thank you.

Physiopedia courses are always informative and relevant to my clinical practice. I particularly like the fact that there are courses to suit my schedule. When I have more time to spare I can participate in one of the longer course formats but for those times I am busy I can still manage to find time to do a short course. The short courses can be completed in an evening.
