Peter Malliaras is a physiotherapist and researcher from Melbourne, Australia focusing on the problem of tendinopathy. He is the first ranked tendinopathy expert globally according to the website ExpertScape. Appointed Professor of Physiotherapy Research in 2022 at Monash University (Australia), his research focuses on understanding pain and neuromuscular impairments, and clinical trials testing the efficacy of exercise, education and other interventions in tendinopathy. Peter maintains a strong clinical focus, consulting to elite athletes and people with persistent tendinopathy presentations in Australia and internationally.

The Practical Frameworks & Practical Strategies course, launched in 2024, outlines a comprehensive approach to the management of lower limb tendinopathy.

The frameworks that are discussed within this course include:

  • Diagnostic framework
  • Assessment and screening framework
  • Strength assessment framework
  • Load management framework
  • Rehabilitation framework
  • Stretch shorten cycle framework
  • Outcome measurement framework

This course is suited to anyone who wants to elevate their tendinopathy knowledge and practice, from new graduates to very experienced clinicians working in private practice, hospital settings or sport. In this course, Prof Peter Malliaras presents a series of practical frameworks that will enrich your tendinopathy practice and can be adapted to any setting. These frameworks go beyond regular CPD by providing practical tips and tools to allow you to manage tendinopathy more confidently. 

Learning outcomes:
  • Apply a structured diagnostic and screening framework to identify tendinopathy and individualise management.
  • Apply evidence-based clinical tools for maximal strength, eccentric strength, isometric strength, stretch shorten cycle and athletic power assessment and monitoring.
  • Implement a load management framework to manage tendon pain and guide patients through progressive loading while reducing risk.
  • Understand the role of the stretch-shorten cycle framework in restoring tendon function.
  • Utilise a structured rehabilitation framework that provides a clear system for developing tendon stiffness and adaptation, muscle output and tendon elasticity.
  • Use prefilled exercise progression diaries for each common lower limb tendinopathy to simplify rehabilitation planning.
  • Design plyometric and energy-storage exercises appropriate for athletes and patients returning to running, walking, field sport, jumping sports and sprinting.
  • Interpret patient-reported outcome measures and objective performance tests to guide decision-making.
  • Develop problem-solving strategies for challenging and persistent tendinopathy cases in private practice, hospital, and sports settings.
