What do you do with your tendon injuries??
No two tendon injuries are the same. Here at the Lewin Clinic we see a high number of tendon issues weekly and very often they are doing the wrong things and have been given incorrect advice.
This is a great little handout we give to our patients written by someone we have known for many years.
