LOWER LIMB TENDINOPATHY WORKSHOP
PRESENTED BY: Dr Arnold Vlok
26 September 2025, 14:00-16:30
Therapy Room, Ground Floor, Khanya Building
For whom is this workshop?
Physiotherapists, biokineticists, sports scientists, sports medicine clinicians, and others seeking clear loading progressions, decision rules, and return-to-sport guidelines.
🎯 Learning outcomes:
By the end, participants can
1. Apply an evidence-based clinical reasoning framework (Malliaras; Morrissey; O’Neill)
2. Dose isometrics/HSR/eccentric/plyometric loading with progressions (Rio; Vicenzino; Silbernagel)
3. Individualise rehabilitation for Achilles, patellar, proximal hamstring tendinopathy (Silbernagel; Thorborg; Hölmich; Maffulli)
4. Use pain-monitoring and load-management rules to pace progression (Silbernagel; de Vos)
5. Set RTS criteria including energy-storage tests and sport-specific exposure (Mayes; Korakakis; Zellers)
This interactive workshop gives you the latest evidence turned into action:
✅ Simple frameworks to classify irritability and choose the right loading lane
✅ Practical skills labs: isometrics, heavy slow resistance, eccentrics,
✅ Tendon-specific playbooks (Achilles, patellar, hamstring, adductor)
✅ Return-to-run and return-to-sport ladders with real-world checkpoints
✅ Ready-to-use take-home tools (flowcharts, dosage cards, RTS templates)
