Neuroplastic Periodization – A New Framework for Tendon Injury Rehabilitation (blogs.bmj.com)

• Integrates neuroplasticity with tendinopathy rehab
• Phases: pain management, neuroplastic training, loading progression
• Relevant for Achilles and patellar tendinopathies

"This article introduces a rehabilitation model for tendinopathy that integrates peripheral load management with central nervous system neuroplasticity training. It emphasizes adapting the CNS to optimize motor patterns and reduce pain. Clinicians gain a framework to progressively incorporate cognitive and sensorimotor elements alongside loading progression."
