It was great to sit down with Dan and Chelsea from the #JOSPTInsights team to discuss our paper: Differences in Psychological Factors Between People With Persistent Tendinopathy and Those Without Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.

In this episode we discuss the unique psychological profile of those with #tendinopathy and how clinicians might approach psychologically informed care during tendinopathy #rehabilitation.

Not using #CognitiveFunctionalTherapy 🤔

If not, have a listen to #JOSPTInsights w/Dr Ruth Chang & Dr JP Caneiro as they walk us through why it is a mindset, not a modality 👉 https://t.co/bFVQUO831l

More evidence on metabolic health and its relationship with Achilles tendinopathy.

Our latest study supports this -
In 8 million people, compared with a metabolically healthy group, MetS =
6–8× higher risk and 3–4× higher rate of Achilles tendinopathy

[Jack Mest @mest_jack]

@King2980 @DrPeteMalliaras Hi Will. Both ways are possible. Persistent pain and disability may impose psychological burden. Equally, situational pre-disposition to psychological distress might precede the experience of pain/injury.
