Ranking exercise parameters for Achilles Tedninopathy (AT) 🥇🥈🥉 For rehab of mid-portion AT contraction intensity appears to be key. With insertional AT dorsiflexion range may play a more prominent role. We still want to load progressively but we often start out of painful, dorsiflexed positions.

Choose your words with care! Patients tend to interpret phrases like ‘degenerative’ and ‘wear and tear’ very negatively.  Check their understanding too - one study found that some patients thought a knee ‘effusion’ meant the joint was fused together! 🤯

I teamed up with @Liz_Bayley_Physio to create this progressive rehab programme for Plantar Heel Pain.  We've called it 'LiTHE' (Liz and Tom's Heel Exercises) and it's aimed at active and sporty patients. It's not a recipe though so it's best to adapt it to suit individual needs.
