I'm Dr. Alex Nelson, a physical therapist who works exclusively with tendon pain. This is the same thinking I use to help runners and athletes manage tendinopathy; not a copy-paste protocol, but how to actually understand your rehab and make the right calls for yourself or for your clients.
Hit play for a quick mashup and peek at what you'll learn:
Section 1: Establish the Groundwork: Dive into the Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Aspects of Patellar Tendinopathy (~23 min)
Section 2: Education is key - The 5 most important things for people to know going through the rehab process (~11 min)
Section 3: Loading.... What is load and how I choose exercises during rehab to manipulate loading (~26 min)
Section 4: Is heavy always better? Deep dive into how hard to train, how to program intensity, and how to use pain as a guide (~45 min)
Section 5: Speed kills - Learn how to adjust tempo during training based on the stage of rehab and performance goals (~24 min)
Section 6: Devil is in the Dosage - My thoughts around volume, frequency, and specificity when programming (~16 min)
Section 7: Explore sample isometric and strength training programs. Additionally, understand the criteria for advancing from the strength to the plyometric phase. Gain insights into my perspective on effectively incorporating plyometrics into your regimen (~23 min)
Built for two people: the athlete who wants to own their rehab, and the provider who wants to sharpen how they treat it.
This course isn't about quick fixes or for those who prefer 10 second TikTok videos that hype up BS claims like "this one exercise will cure tendon pain". It's for those owning their health and rehab journey!
And if you ever decide you'd rather have your rehab built around you specifically, my 1:1 coaching is here whenever you're ready.
These are just a few stories from my coaching clients; the toolkit teaches a similar approach I used with them.
When you're ready to work together through my coaching program just DM me "TWT"
Not quite ready for that? The tendon toolkit is your starting point.
Now go own your rehab; your tendons will thank you. And if this helped, pass it on or send me a DM :)
