Defeating the 5 levels of Achilles tendinopathy
Are you ready to learn the step by step guide to increase patient compliance and success?
If you're done with the constant struggles, frustrations and nagging
to get patients to do their exercises...
Then it is time for you to
gamify your tendon rehab!
A quick test to see if this is right for you:
​​
-
1) You're a Physiotherapist, Physical Therapist or clinician that practises orthopedic rehabilitation.
​
-
2) You are looking for an
evidence-based way to improve patient retention, compliance and results.
​
-
3) You're ready to learn about a new, interesting and exciting way to book your diary full and get more referrals.
Then this will sound familiar...
You love the motivation that patients have those first few weeks
but then life gets busy and they miss a follow up session with you...
Then another. And then another.
Eventually they return your calls and say the exercises that you prescribed are not working BUT you have that gut feeling that they never even did them.
Sometimes the best way to help our patients AND our business is to get them to WANT to do the entire rehab program with you, start to finish!
Here is the real reason why your patients disappear after a few weeks, and chances are,
it is something you have never even considered, until now.
Most PTs face one major (hidden) obstacle when it comes to booking out their diary and growing their business.
​
What is it?
​
Patients don't come back for their follow up sessions because the rehab is BORING.
​
And boring rehab doesn't get done!
​
Let's make rehab fun again!
How will this help me?
FILL YOUR DIARY WITH MORE BOOKINGS
Patients that look forward to their rehab are far less likely to miss sessions with you as they have made it a priority because it's a process that they actually ENJOY.
GET MORE REFERRALS
Getting more patients over the finish line means more people RAVING to friends and family about your fun, unique and powerful approach to rehab.
HELP MORE
PEOPLE
Turn one of the worst events of somebody’s life into an enjoyable experience that they could grow from and come out stronger on
the other side.
BECOME KNOWN
FOR SOMETHING
It is easier to get
the healthcare professionals around you to
-
hear about you
-
meet you
-
refer to you
when you're known for combining scientific research-backed prescriptions with interactive story-based rehab programs.
What this DOESN'T mean!
NO
creating a new program every week!
NO
expensive equipment or fancy techniques needed!
NO
making up new exercises that nobody has heard of
or knows how to do!
and become the clinician who empowers their patients
through an interactive rehab adventure that:
Helps you book out your diary with follow up sessions through increased patient retention.
Increases referrals by turning patients into raving fans that tell friends and family about the UNIQUE experience that they had with you.
Helps you stand out from your competition and gets other practitioners excited about working with your individualised approach.
Turns a research-backed
and criteria-based exercise program into a point-based game that your patients LOVE you for.
Dramatically improves patient compliance so that exercise prescriptions actually get done and they finally get out of pain.
Helps patients feel motivated to get through their ENTIRE rehab program, instead of stopping after a few weeks.

We prioritise transformation over information as we show you our system
of gamifying rehab with points, levels, monsters, upgrades and missions.
Start New Game:
Your introduction
and resource guide
In this first module, we'll go over the basics of gamification and how we applied it to an Achilles tendinopathy program.
Level 1:
Escaping the Swamp Serpent
to get out of pain and start tendon loading.
In the second module, we'll work through using our Targeted Tendon Treatment System
to figure out where to start
in the Achilles rehab continuum.
Level 2:
Conquering the Forest Spider
to develop muscle endurance
and return to walking.
In module 3, we dive into the exercise criteria required for developing muscle endurance
and our "unlocks and upgrades"
to keep the process fun.
Level 3:
Beating the Mountain Troll
to develop muscle strength and return to jogging.
In module 4, we explore the points-based system where patients unlock the "Shield of Strength" and pass our criteria for returning to jogging.
Level 4:
Destroying the Lava Giant
to develop muscle power
and return to running.
In module 5, the explosive level is all about activating the stretch-shortening cycle with plyometrics.
Level 5:
Slaying the Evil Dragon
to recapture the castle
and return to sport.
The last module will give an overview of the return to sport criteria for athletes. This is essentially the final battle.
This isn't just an Achilles tendinopathy course.
It is a transformational process
that will take you from
From the average,
same-as-every-other
Physio into
an inspired & exciting clinician with a unique evidence-based rehab system.
"It's like watching a series.
You know you don't have time to watch another episode but you want to so you do.
​
When attending a talk or course, I usually struggle to focus for even half an hour but because the videos were short, I felt accomplished after each one and I could take a break every 10 to 15 minutes.
​
I found the layout very user friendly and I liked that I could work through it in my own time."
​
- Kalinka Terre Blanche
Clinician at Rainsford Biokinetics
"The way the course was set up was so ideal.
If I could fit the whole course in one day, I think I would have. But it's like a series. Every time you're like one more episode, just one more, one more module.
From the beginning, I understood the flow right until the end. It was very user friendly.
The materials help you stay on top of the game for every session you go into. "
- Jodie Vermeulen
Clinician at SA Biokinetics INC
"You went a step further and said how can we practically implement this with the client.
Most courses they would just say yes instead of using this, use this, and that's pretty much the end of it.
But they don't really get into the specifics of, okay, how would you change your approach if you're using method B instead of your usual method?
And that's what I also love about that specific module."
- Brendon Marais
Clinician at bmbio
"Definitely a lot of value for money"
​
"and enthusiasm for your career. The other thing was the practical advice. Lots of info but broken down into steps: practical steps. "

"This has been like Christmas for me"
"I'm very scientific and I try to be as evidence-based as I can. And this has been like christmas for me; learning and doing this course."
