Achilles tendinopathy is a common condition, especially among runners and those who train on hard surfaces. It is a condition that affects the Achilles tendon, and it can cause significant pain and reduced function. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness along the tendon, and stiffness, especially in the morning.
How to treat Achilles tendinopathy
Treating Achilles tendinopathy requires a structured approach that includes different phases of rehabilitation. Here is an overview of how we can help you through our studies and training programs at NIHI.no:
Isometric training: This phase includes static exercises that help reduce pain and improve muscle strength without aggravating the tendon. Examples of exercises include heel lifts where you hold the position for 30-45 seconds.
Isotonic training: Once the pain subsides, you can move on to dynamic exercises such as full range of motion deadlifts. This helps strengthen the tendon and surrounding muscles.
Explosive strength: This phase includes the introduction of plyometric exercises that prepare the tendon for higher loads such as jumping and running.
Explosive Strength and Release: Finally, exercises such as jumping, high-intensity running, and changes of direction will be introduced to mimic the demands of your sport or activity.
