You're listening to Squat University by Dr. Aaron Horshick.

Let's go!

Now, let's start the show.

Podcast listeners, thank you so much for checking out today's show.

This is episode 40 of the Squat University podcast.

The goal with each and every one of these shows

is to bring you as much value-packed content to help you move better in the gym and in life,

decrease your bodies, aches, and pains and help you reach your true athletic potential.

patients. So if you are currently dealing with Patelor tendon pain or Achilles tendon pain

or have dealt with those injuries in the past or you are working with an athlete complaining

of a tendon injury, get ready for some great content. Professor Jill Cook, thank you so much

for joining me on today's show.

For those out there who do not know of your work and your background, can you just give a

brief introduction for everyone out there? Yeah, thank you, Aaron. It's a delight to be here.

some research.

And that was in 1995.
