In this episode of the Complete Physio podcast, Dr. John Houghton joins us to discuss recurring tendon issues affecting areas like the Achilles, elbow, and glutes. We explore why some patients experience repeated tendon pain, potential underlying autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, and the influence of factors such as genetics, age, cholesterol, and diabetes. Get practical advice on recognising signs of tendon problems that could indicate a systemic issue, and learn about treatment options ranging from physiotherapy to advanced therapies for managing long-term tendon health.
