    From Sensitivity to Capacity: Bridging the Gap Between Rehabilitation and Performance

    The podcast episode focuses on a clinical case study and the principles of patient care, assessment, and treatment planning. It emphasizes the importance of understanding individual patient mechanisms and the need for a functional diagnosis. The episode also discusses the concept of sensitivity to capacity and the integration of different techniques in patient cases. The conversation covers the application of directional preference and neurodynamics in a clinical setting, focusing on assessment, intervention, and progression of treatment for a patient. The goal is to restore capacity and prepare the patient for a return to sport. Takeaways Patient care requires an understanding of individual patient mechanisms.A functional diagnosis is essential for treatment planning. Directional preference and neurodynamics are key concepts in clinical assessment and treatment.Progressive loading and capacity restoration are essential for preparing patients for a return to sport.

    Tendinopathy, Load, and the Path Back to Performance

    The conversation delves into the complexities of tendinopathy, emphasizing the importance of understanding it as a load tolerance problem. It explores the continuum of tendinopathy, the role of mechanical loading in tendon response, and the need to restore capacity rather than just calm symptoms. This episode is designed for clinicians, coaches, students, and active individuals who want a deeper understanding of tendon rehabilitation from both a physiological and performance perspective.
