I’ve had this almost a year and am very worried and concerned am off work as my job is driving and it hurts on the clutch and I love the gym. My life is actually on the line with this condition. Am 6 weeks into recovery
Hi Lewis. What are you suffering from? If it's Achilles tendinopathy, try eccentric heel drop and isometric hold heel raise. When I had AT, I do these exercises twice a day, 6 days a week. Recovery period is about 1 - 2 month. I don't have experience with patellar tendinopathy.
@@SuperPAC130 so you did isometric and heel raises everyday? But starting with ISO? What was your rep and set scheme? Assuming you built up slowly over time?
@@JamesFeey First week, isometric exercise only, everyday. I try 3 sets of 5x45 iso before work, a few more reps any chance I could while at work, and another 3 set before going to bed. On the 2nd - 3rd week, I introduced slow ecc heel drop. I can't recall how many reps, but the routine follows, do it in the AM, while at work, then before bed. Gradually introduced added weight that I'm comfortable with. Are you suffering from AT or know someone suffering from it at the moment?
