Could TNT blast a hole in treatment barriers in tendinopathy? Ebonie Rio discusses

Often tendinopathy will be resistant to even the best traditional rehabilitation methods. Liam West chats to Dr Ebonie Rio, a PostDoctoral Fellow at La Trobe University’s Sports and Exercise Medicine Research Centre in Melbourne. Dr Rio’s research aims to explain the role of the primary motor cortex in tendinopathy. She discusses tendon neuroplastic training (TNT) and how it might help your tendinopathy patients regain pain free function in the clinic.
