Assessment and treatment of common tendinopathies in the hip and lower limb

Tendinopathies in the hip and lower limb are prevalent in athletes and perimenopausal clients. They off a particular challenge in the clinic, affecting a range of distinct populations, from athletes to older adults including those experiencing perimenopause. Despite their frequency, the current evidence on effective management remains limited for some and well represented for others, leaving soft tissue therapists unclear on what to apply in certain cases. This can make treatment outcomes unpredictable and difficult to optimise.

In this comprehensive two-day, hands-on workshop, Jimmy will provide a structured, evidence-informed approach to managing proximal hamstring tendinopathy, gluteal tendinopathy and Achilles tendinopathy. Drawing from both his extensive clinical and personal experience and the latest research, Jimmy will guide you through best practices for assessment, treatment, and re-assessment of the condition.

The workshop will cover essential topics covering hamstring tendinopathy, hamstring tendinopathy and Achilles tendinopathy:

Key markers of recovery to track patient progress
Differential diagnosis to distinguish between similar presenting conditions
Best practice manual techniques for pain management
A structured exercise progression plan for long-term recovery and reconditioning

Jimmy will also discuss exercise loading—detailing when and how to safely progress a patient from early-stage rehabilitation to advanced strengthening phases. Attendees will leave the workshop with a working template that can be immediately applied to their clinical practice, minimising guesswork, and enhancing patient outcomes.

This workshop offers an invaluable opportunity for soft tissue therapists to enhance their skill set with actionable strategies that will improve their ability to manage these difficult conditions with more confidence.
