About Trent Salo

I spent nearly a decade working in professional basketball - as a physical therapist, strength coach, and eventually VP of Player Health and Performance. During that time, I became increasingly focused on tendon injuries and the gap between what we know from research and what actually gets applied in practice.

Eventually, I made the decision to leave the NBA and dedicate myself full-time to Achilles and Patellar tendon care. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in tendon research, working to better integrate academic science and clinical application.

The Tendon Lab is the result of that focus - combining advanced assessment technology with evidence-based treatment to help people get back to doing what they love,
