Course description

This class, led by Dr. Sathish Babu Giridharan P.T , offers a detailed introduction to tendon pathology with a special emphasis on the tendon-to-bone attachment (enthesis) and the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in tendon injuries.

Designed for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals, the session goes beyond the basics to explain how tendons fail, adapt, and respond to load, helping participants develop a deeper understanding of injury progression and healing.

By the end of the class, you’ll gain practical insights into the mechanisms of tendon pathology, strengthening your ability to assess, explain, and manage tendon-related conditions in clinical practice.
