Introduction
Managing a lower limb tendinopathy requires provocative loads to be replaced with appropriate loading. This approach aims to increase the tendon's capacity without provoking symptoms. It can be particularly difficult to achieve this when treating an athlete in-season as they need to train and compete at a high level. In this course, topic specialist, Dr. Ebonie Rio, discusses her top tips for managing an athlete who is actively competing while experiencing a lower limb tendinopathy.

This course aims to introduce the effect of different loads on tendons and how to manage an in-season athlete with a lower limb tendinopathy.
