Peter has a respected international clinical and research profile and is consulted by many people for a second opinion regarding their tendon injuries, including elite athletes and performers (eg football, rugby, ballet, and tennis). He works as an Associate Professor at Monash University (Australia), focusing on tendinopathy research, and sees difficult tendinopathy patients in clinic each week.

The 5th edition of the Mastering Lower Limb Tendinopathy course has just been updated! It provides an up-to-date research and clinical perspective and a complete walkthrough assessment, kinetic chain and biomechanics considerations and rehabilitation of common tendinopathies. Achilles, plantar fascia, tibialis posterior, patellar, proximal hamstring and gluteal tendinopathies will be covered in detail.

Whether you are a new graduate or an experienced clinician, you will come away with many answers to your questions as well as clinical gems to take away.

• Describe how diagnosis and assessment influence management eg pain irritability and cognitive-emotional factors
• Discuss when and how tendon pathology influences clinical reasoning and management
• Describe indications for imaging tendinopathy patients
• Describe and implement biomechanics and kinetic chain considerations and assessment
• Develop comprehensive rehabilitation strategies for common lower limb tendinopathies
• Discuss specific strategies to maximise tendinopathy patient adherence, education and buy-in
