Ep 278: Managing the uncertainty of tendinopathy, with Max Hopes
About this episode
Max Hopes discusses the complexities of tendinopathy and its impact on patient experiences.
Tendinopathy will show up regularly in the clinic for many JOSPT Insights listeners. In a person-centred care model, it's important to understand the person with tendinopathy, where they're coming from and what they're experiencing. Today's guest has been studying patients' experience of different types of lower limb tendinopathies. The results might surprise you, in just how complex and variable people's experiences are. Max Hopes is an osteopath and researcher (University of Technology Sydney) studying lower limb tendinopathy. Today Max shares some of the early results of his PhD work, and we explore what it means for musculoskeletal practice. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Lived experiences of people with tendinopathy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2026.13666
