You will also get insight on the most important differential diagnoses and risk factors for developing tendinopathy. In addition barriers to successful outcome, such as fear of movement and pain, will be discussed including recommendations for how to address these during the rehabilitation.

The practical strength training part is planned with focus on lower limb and upper limb and attention on proper exercise technique imparting.

Return to sport criteria will be discussed and how to prevent setbacks - to bring the athlete efficient back to sports.
