Hot Topic: Crack the Code on Achilles Tendinopathy — Update with Dr. Silbernagel
Achilles tendinopathy remains one of the most stubborn and misunderstood conditions in rehab — but top clinicians don’t just follow the latest research; they translate it into precise, confident decision-making that improves outcomes.
This webinar gives you an exclusive look at how cutting-edge tendon research is reshaping assessment, loading strategies, and exercise prescription for one of the most common performance-limiting injuries in sport and active populations.
Join Dr. Karin Silbernagel, one of the world’s foremost experts in tendon rehabilitation, as she breaks down the newest evidence on Achilles tendon loading, symptom categorization, and progressive exercise design — and shows you exactly how to apply it in the clinic the very next day.
Discover how to confidently integrate the forefront of tendon science directly into your patient care.
What You’ll Learn From This Webinar:
- How to accurately categorize Achilles tendinopathy to guide treatment
- Which exercises work best for each category — and why
- Evidence-based progressions that optimize load without flaring symptoms
- Practical clinical pearls from decades of tendon research
- Answers to your toughest patient scenarios during the Q&A
Whether you treat runners, court athletes, weekend warriors, or stubborn chronic tendon cases, this is a must-attend update that will sharpen your reasoning and elevate your outcomes.
