Description


Peter Malliaras is a physiotherapist and researcher from Melbourne, Australia focusing on the problem of tendinopathy. He is the first ranked tendinopathy expert globally according to the website ExpertScape. Appointed Professor of Physiotherapy Research in 2022 at Monash University (Australia), his research focuses on understanding pain and neuromuscular impairments, and clinical trials testing the efficacy of exercise, education and other interventions in tendinopathy. Peter maintains a strong clinical focus, consulting to elite athletes and people with persistent tendinopathy presentations in Australia and internationally.

Practical frameworks and practical strategies is a comprehensive online course launched in 2024 that provides a structured, evidence-informed approach to the management of lower limb tendinopathy. Rather than isolated techniques or protocols, the course presents an integrated system of clinical frameworks that can be applied directly in everyday practice.


The course covers a series of core frameworks, including:

  • Diagnostic decision-making
  • Assessment and screening
  • Strength assessment
  • Load management
  • Rehabilitation planning
  • Stretch–shorten cycle training
  • Outcome measurement


Designed for clinicians across all levels of experience, this course is suitable for new graduates through to highly experienced practitioners working in private practice, hospital settings, or elite sport. Prof Peter Malliaras delivers practical, adaptable frameworks that go beyond standard CPD content, providing clear structure, clinical reasoning tools, and actionable strategies you can use immediately with patients.
