@tmcycles: Achilles injury! Can be a real pain, I ‘did’ mine a few months ago and my first thought was ‘I’ll just rest it and wait for it to get better’, I was indeed wrong The four stages of achilles tendinopathy 1️⃣ the protection stage: it’s sore, the worst thing we want to do is start bouncing up and down on it or applying large amounts of force, look at isometrics to calm the pain 2️⃣ the load introduction stage: controlled co-contractions here, think about balancing both sides, using both feet 3️⃣ the strength accumulation stage: here we want to start thinking about rebuilding tendon strength, mainly through the use of heavy eccentrics 4️⃣ the sport specific stage: plyometric work to get back to full performance #physio #achillestendon #achillestendinopathy #achillestendonitis #sportsperformance
