title: Rehabilitation of lower limb tendinopathies.
abstract: Tendon rehabilitation requires an extensive assessment, and identification of deficits that impact on sporting performance. Rehabilitation must address all these deficits and may take several months. Return to sport may require short- or long-term load modification. Surgery also requires a long recovery time, and may not guarantee a return to sport.
