In this episode with Dr. Ebonie Rio, we delve into Achilles tendon rehabilitation, distinguishing Achilles tendinopathy from other conditions like peritendon, plantaris, and FHL issues. Dr. Rio shares insights on tailoring rehabilitation based on diagnosis and progressing patients through treatment stages, offering practical advice for physiotherapists and clinicians alike.

This episode is closely tied to Ebonie’s Practical she did with us. With Practicals you can see exactly how top experts assess and treat specific conditions – so you can become a better clinician, faster.
