Jill also presents valuable insights into clinical evaluation, classic signs for each tendon, myths about rest, how to use isometric exercises correctly, and when not to rely solely on imaging findings. 💭 “We would expect that, immediately after the isometrics, there would be at least a 50% drop in their pain." - Prof. Jill Cook 👉🏻Professor Jill Cook is an Emeritus Professor in Musculoskeletal Health at the La Trobe Sport & Exercise Medicine Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia, and one of the world’s leading researchers in tendon health.
