Continuing on with our series on tissue healing, we dive into more on Tendon healing. Here are the topics we cover in this episode:

  • Tendon anatomy and function
  • Process of tendon healing
  • Factors that affect tendon healing
  • How we address tendon dysfunction in Physical Therapy

Keep in mind this is a simplified overview of tendons! We will continue to cover more on this in the future. For more on general tissue healing, check out episode 3. For more on Achilles Tendinopathy, check out episode 25!

The purpose of this podcast is to provide useful, condensed information for exhausted, time-crunched Physical Therapists and Student Physical Therapists who looking to build confidence in their foundational knowledge base and still have time to focus on other important aspects of life.
