The Podcast Has Returned! After a brief hiatus, we're back with a great conversation on musculoskeletal health at menopause - does MHT make a difference to tendon health?

In this episode, we discussed:

• Rachael's paper & research on tendons and menopause, comparing exercise, education and MHT for GTPS aka gluteal tendinopathy
• the role of oestrogen & inflammation in musculoskeletal care
• how current research has a focus on oestrogen, but how the roles of testosterone & progesterone are being increasingly investigated

Rachael is doing great work as both a clinician and researcher and is really highlighting how menopausal tendons are different, the roles of hormones but also of inflammation and the impact of overweight/obesity. She makes complex science understandable and applicable and I can't wait to see where her research takes us in the future! You can follow her progress in this area on ResearchGate.
