Hi! Stretches is not necessarily a suitable option for tendinopathy. Load management and strengthening are the key principles. You can do isometrics, you can do Plantarflexion with a theraband, you can do heel raises… and other general lower limb strengthening for Gluts and Quads too for general conditioning
Thank you for this video! Hope this will help my fee. I teach over 35 group fitness classes at week. I wear nice confotable shoes but still get pain in my achilles, Just on the head of my achilles.
If a 14 year old patient complains of heel pain and pain on the tendon itself, does it mean they have severes disease, would adding a heel wedge help. Even though, if they presented with tightness at the TA tendon.
Hi! Good question! Ultimately if a younger individual presented with these symptoms it COULD be sever’s disease and therefore as you said it’s important to have this investigated and assessed for each individual
