Have you put together any videos specifically about Insertion Achilles Tendinopathy, with a focus on severe pain levels which prevent even walking? I'd love to hear what you recommend in situations like this. Thanks in advance, Bruce

@puru919 4 ай бұрын

I have watched your video and feel easy and good. Can i walk faster because i always walk faster than other. And i feel pain only after first walk when i am in rest and when i get walking continously i dont feel any pain.

BRILLIANT VIDEO and by far the best rehab programme on the net. Just one suggestion: if you are suffering from insertional tendinopathy then don't perform deficit heel raises off a step/raised platform as this will inflame your tendon even further. Perform your heel raises on flat ground but as stated in the video, try to increase the load on your achilles by performing a single leg heel raise and by adding weight. My achillles tendons were in extremely bad shape. I was not able to run for more than five minutes before they would flare up, forcing me to stop. By following the advice on the video, gradually, over time (3 months) I have managed to increase my runs to the point where I can now run for nearly an hour, jogging at a moderate pace. I play football (soccer) once a week and my goal is to be able to sprint freely without inflaming the tendons. I am not quite there yet but I feel very confident that if I follow this rehab programme I soon will be.

This was my question regarding insertional and lowering the heel. Sounds like doing everything on a flat surface is best.

Yes, definitely. Anyway, good luck with your rehab. 🙂@@EstenSesto

If you think "flaring up after 5min of running" is bad shape, then what is with mine If I get extreme pain for just a few minutes of walking. Ive been having it for almost a year. It will probably tear sooner or later... Gotta live with it.

Did you eventually get there? I have had a chronic tendonopathy for 2.5 years and I am about to stop the raised heel off a step exercise. I just what to get back to tennis

@ravkhabra 11 ай бұрын

@@harveywinks8640 Yes, I did get there! I am able to play football pretty normally now. Now and again I do get flare-ups in both Achilles tendons but the pain is very manageable. I try and do heel raises at least twice a week on flat ground. If I am doing single heel raises, I will do 3 x 15 sets. If I am doing double heel raises I will do 3 x 25 sets. Just depends on how my Achilles tendons are feeling. Single heel raises have more load on them, double heel raises less so. Anyway, my improvement in function was very gradual. At worst, I was not able to run for more than a few minutes before my Achilles tendons started flaring up and feeling inflamed. But gradually over the weeks and months, my function improved. Yes, there are still some weeks when my tendons do feel a bit aggravated, but by and large I am nearly back to normal. If you do the heel raises consistently and patiently you should steadily improve. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you're back on the tennis court soon. 🙂

Hi how’s the recovery going I got insertional tendinosis as well, physios say do eccentric loading on flat surfaces not decline step, I did also 6 session of shockwave therapy, def helped a lot. My exercises are 1 towel stretch the calf for lengthening 2 eccentric loading calf single leg flat surface 3 balance on one leg for 90seconds 4 Abduction/addiction exercises as the eccentric loading targets glutes muscles also. 5 calf stretches 6 bent calf raises for soleous muscle. 7 biking for 45 mins Been doing this for 2 months now, I still have 3/10 pain

@philsteamwork 11 ай бұрын

I ended up doing a The ACP (Autologous Conditioned Plasma) or PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy. That was the first thing that had an effect and fortunately the healing was super fast after that. It took only 3 injections (of your own blood into the tendon) and I could feel a significant improvement. The 3 Injections happend over a time period of 6 weeks.

This video is excellent. Thank you. It provides me with hope. 5 years ago, I was told my "Tendinosis", was irreversible, and that I had thousands of splits on both Achilles. My options were to have thousands of pin prick needles along the tendons (to stimulate collagen production) but there was a high risk this would cause them to rupture and that I could end up in a wheelchair. This risk was too high for me. I had to give up my job (nanny) as I couldn't run around with/after kids. My exercise limit is 1 hour of walking. If I carry heavy shopping bags even for 3-4 mins, I am in agony the following day. When I see the comments on here and people are still managing to run, I ask myself HOW? I have followed the advise of rest, elevate, ice, shoe wedges and anti inflammatory. I manage, but my health and fitness have suffered and my life is limited. I'm starting this today and who knows where I'll be in 6 months!

@Heffiemonster Жыл бұрын

As someone who has had on and off AT for a couple of decades, I can say that this is top notch advice, and very up-to-date. Mine has massively improved via Heavy Slow Resistance training with a weighted vest, incorporating both concentric (heel raise) and eccentric (heel drop) portions. However, most physios still prescribe the Alfredson protocol which focuses on eccentric. This seems to work for some people, but for me they did virtually nothing as they were not "treating the donut" (lovely analogy). I think that many physios approach this in an overly conservative way, as they are concerned that the client may complain about pain. A couple of queries. I recently had a bout of insertional tendinopathy (right down on the ankle). My physio suggested this resulted from "deficit" exercises where my heel went below the level of the step, so I have cut these from my rehab. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Secondly, I really enjoy skipping / jump rope, and was wondering whether this could be used for the plyometrics? I find it more enjoyable than just plyometrics, and it also gives a more cardiovascular workout. Many of the plyometric exercises could be incorporated into a jump rope routine. It involves much higher reps than standard plyometrics, but at the same time movements need to be quick and efficient if you use a fast rope.

@ravkhabra Жыл бұрын

I have insertional tendinopathy and found that deficit exercises caused more issues. So instead, I perform my heel raises on flat ground. This seemed to do the trick. I also concur with what you said about heavy slow resistance. Doing these activities have made a huge difference. I have been following the rehab programme for the last three months and have seen huge improvements.
