Professor Jill Cook Researcher | Educator | Clinician

Physio+10 focuses on the journeys of trailblazing Physiotherapists and today's conversation is with Professor Jill Cook. Jill has been at the forefront of tendon rehabilitation and shares for the first time, how it was she went from using the historical RICE model of tendon management, to tendon loading, as the form of treatment. Seems remarkable today, but this change in our understanding is largely due to Jill's ongoing pursuit of better tendon outcomes.

As we travelled along Jill's journey as a Physiotherapist, she shared her convictions and thoughts on many related Physiotherapy topics, including undergraduate education. I think you will find this a very informative conversation.

Thanks for listening.
