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
Super stoked to see another of Sam's @SBP_Physio PhD papers get published. cracking work.

I teamed up with @Liz_Bayley_Physio to create this progressive rehab programme for Plantar Heel Pain.
We've called it 'LiTHE' (Liz and Tom's Heel Exercises) and it's aimed at active and sporty patients. It's not a recipe though so it's best to adapt it to suit individual needs.
In ~9 million people, fluoroquinolones as a class showed no increased risk of Achilles tendon rupture vs amoxicillin.
A small, short-term signal was seen only with levofloxacin, only in adults >60, only within 30 days.
Even then, absolute risk ≈ 9 per 100,000. @Seth0Neill
Help me find people aged over 18 years, in the UK and had treatment from a healthcare professional in the last 12 months to help shape future care.
