Ebonie Rio - Part 2. Tendinopathy research and clinical practice gems

This week’s Physio Foundations is part 2 of my conversation with Dr Ebonie Rio from La Trobe University.

We talked about tendinopathy research; specifically, how to understand and apply research.

HINT– you can’t just read the abstract! 

In this episode:
