One of the things that I see new grads do all the time is to try and sound smart. I did the same thing as a new grad and at the time I was just doing what I had learnt. You use big words and medical jargon when explaining a diagnosis to your patient.  But whilst what you are saying might make sense in your head, always remember you are a physio, and your patient is not. So whilst you think you sound more professional and by using fancy language you can sound more experienced it is often at the expense of making your patient confused. Here's what to do instead!

Tendon injuries can occur anywhere in the body and are notoriously tricky to get a hold of… And even more difficult to keep at bay, hence why we see so many reoccurring tendon based injuries.

Whilst protocols like eccentrics, isometrics and heavy slow resistance training have been proven to help tendon based pain… They all miss one important thing! Listen to today’s podcast episode to discover the big error 9 out of 10 therapists make so you do not do the same thing… And learn what you need to do instead to not only fix your patients tendon pain… But ensure this pain does not come back as so many tendon problems do!
