Tendon adaptation seems simple, right? Just load it heavy.
However, there is a lot more to it than that.
I describe some of the factors to consider in my tendon adaptation framework.

Achilles rupture rehab can be tough and long, with big decisions along the way—like when to come out of the boot. Most rely on time alone, but there’s a better way! 🦵✨
In this video, I share criteria to ensure you're ready. 🎥👇 #AchillesRehab #Tendons

Vitamin D - A Key Player in Tendon Health
A recent review published in the Journal of Basic Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology reveals the crucial role of vitamin D in tendon health and healing.
🔋 Mechanism of Action:
-Regulates collagen synthesis
-Reduces inflammation
-Supports tendon-to-bone healing
-Promotes tenocyte proliferation
⚕️ Clinical Implications:
Vitamin D deficiency correlates with:
-Increased risk of tendon disorders
-Higher post-surgical complications
-Delayed healing response
Consider vitamin D assessment as part of your standard screening protocol for:
-Chronic tendinopathies
-Pre-operative assessment
-Post-surgical rehabilitation
Early identification and appropriate supplementation could be key to better patient outcomes.

If you want to understand the foot, start with its segmental structure, b/c that’s what influences its basic function. Learn how to evaluate those segments, and when each of these segments come into play during walking. Then move onto muscular activity patterns and their affects.
