    Cheers Nick - have patiently battled with insertional tendinopathy issue for many months now (and sought professional help from GP). But your advice reinforces exactly where I've eventually ended up, simply by the application of biomechanical reasoning (& direct experience!). Many thanks for the clear & straightforward presentation 👍.

    I had a partial tear of my ATFL and developed a throbbing pain where my Achilles meets the heel. Glad I was able to find this and figure out what the pain actually was. I assume it was because I had my ankle wrapped while I'm healing my injury these past 10 weeks.

    I developed this condition after doing a lot of treadmill running during the winter. Looking back I realize I was losing strength in my calf as treadmill running does not require a push-off from the ground to move forward. Even with the incline cranked up to 7% it kept getting worse. Still have pain in my left heel, but it is definitely better than it used to be. Heel raises and actual "running to cover distance" got my calf muscles back and I do not mess around with treadmills anymore.

If you push back faster than the spinning tread you would run into the front of the machine. Running on the ground is different because the force applied backward is against a stationary surface, which causes forward motion relative to the surface. And you have to keep applying that force to stay in motion.

    Hi, many thanks for the video. I had luck to catch this very early and avoided running through it at all. I'm used to low-drop shoes, and could only notice the pain twice in a pair of 0mm shoes. I've therefore been running in 5mm-drop shoes and everything is fine - no pain at all. Nonetheless, if I press the insertion area when at rest I can still feel discomfort or very light pain. I want to progress to my 3mm and 0mm shoes but not sure how to do it safely. I've been doing isometric (standing) calf raises progressing from 10x30s, 5x1min, and now 3x2min three or four times a week. Probly will incorporate the seated calf raises as you advise. Many thanks again!

    Once strength is built up look at building calf and single leg strength then adding in plyometrics which is the posh word for jumping around, this helps to improve the elasticity back within the tendon, so it can’t get ready for repetitive continuous loading activities like running, if you just build basic strength, and then look at incorporating exercises into the rehab process that the tendon is going to do during your sporting activities things tend flareup

    Hey Nick, very informative video. I am at the stage where I can run moderately for 5minutes on a treadmill before taking a break. I still don’t have the strength to jump without pain, although there is none to minimal pain when I am putting dorsiflexing my foot (no weights). Do I need to start doing heel drops and seated calf raises that go below floor level? at what point is it appropriate to start loading and compressing the tendon in dorsiflexion, or is the road to full recovery to do plyometrics without dorsiflexion?

    Hi Glen great question, there is no hard and fast rule when it is best to start dorsiflexion work, is it needed? in my opinion yes as running includes dorsiflexion so the rehab needs to include that. However personally I like my patients to have but up a good amount of calf strength first so weight calf raises with limited doors flexion (seated and standing) then once strength improved and symptoms settling, however the person helping you with this journey should be able to guide you with this. but end aim is plyometrics that include dorsiflexion and graded return to activity

    Hey man - About 2 weeks ago I had a tingling sensation shoot up my calf during a trail run. I didn't think much of it and kept running/exercising through the week. The following week, I noticed a similar tingling/burning sensation whenever I pulled my foot up to stretch my calf so I decided to hold off on running for a couple of days. Yesterday, I decided to try doing some lower body work outs as to not fall too behind in my training regiment and after doing some Romanian split squats, I feel like the sensations may have traveled up into the mid portion of my achilles tendon and mid calf area. Is this something you've seen before? And what do you recommend I do to treat it? It should be noted that the injury isn't debilitating in any respect and I only feel it when pulling my foot up to stretch my calf.

    Thanks for the message. Sounds more like a possible nerve irritation with the tingling pain. Need to work out is tibial nerve and coming from the foot area or is is coming from the back. Recommendation is to get someone to look at it, so they can get a diagnosis, if it is nerve irritation some times it is just time and settle on it’s own. Sometimes stretching or an injection.

    Hi Nick, thanks for the explanation in the vid. I ran the whole of cross country season with a heel/achilles issue but managed the pain to the close of the season. Went to the physio in Feb and was diagnosed with insertional Achilles tendinopathy. So far I've taken the load off completely (6 weeks no running at present), currently doing all my training on the bike and complete 3x15 heel raises daily (just the eccentric phase at the moment). I've only seen a slight improvement in the pain when pressing on the area in the last week or so. Is there anything else that could speed up recovery, I was originally icing everyday but can't say it made much difference and I'm wondering whether heat therapy my help with the healing process. Is it a case of just being patient, I've seen you've previously commented that it takes 3 months? Any further info would be appreciated, thanks

Did alot wrong with the mid p exercise and was doing too much too often. Was thinking maybe i rest it for like 4-6weeks do the insertional eccentrics for like 3-6 months then move onto the mid portion eccentrics depending but not stressing it as much as i was doing, what do you reckon? cheers.

    Retro calc bursitis tends to be slightly higher up just above the calcaneal bone. You also don’t tend to get the morning stiffness with retrocalc bursitis. Plantar flexion of the foot would aggravate the retrocalc bursitis. It is possible to have both pathologies existing at once.

In the mornings now i feel tightness close to the heel bone and i feel a 2/10 pain in my lower achilles if i try a short run. When i press the area where the tendon attaches to the heel bone i can feel it is sore as well as a kind of liquid bubbles under the skin. I can do 100 star jumps pain free, 100 burpees pain free, i can hop on the spot pain free etc. I am doing the floor calf raises and will start doing the seated calf raises - i hope this will cure my issue for my running.

    6 жыл бұрын

    Hi SumanutiLudjak, thanks for the questions, It depends on a number of factors, which method of landing you are using and stage of rehabilitation. If you using the heavy slow method, this is normally around 8 reps, 3-4 sets however only 3 times a week, this requires heavy load, so access to weights. If you are looking at more traditional ways, then you may look at 10-15 reps x 3 sets x 4-5 times a day, with a slow tempo still and that would be done daily, it is important to remember that all the exercises need to be a around 7/10 on the effect scale (0 no effect 10 max effort) at the end of rehab and return to play you want fast paced exercises, high reps and no weight (this is your plyometrics) However all programmes need to be monitored by a health care professional so they can make sure you are doing the right exercises and volume for you as we are all different.

    Thanks a lot for the answer Nick. I think it was an overuse injury a few years back that wasn't healing. When I finaly checked it out they diagnosed insertional achilles tendinopaty with haglund's deformity and had me doing some generic physical therapy for a while that contained a lot of streching and high rep strenghtening, again with a streching component. It did not help. A year or so passed since then. Tendons are still stiff in the mornings and can get inflamed if I stand a lot during the day or do sports for too long. Btw I'm 35 years old, 2 meters tall, 100 kgs. I have acces to weights so I figure i could try the slow and heavy method to see If I can get some improvement. Can you tell me how long does that protocol take on average and how often do I add more weights? Do you have a link to any resources I could read?

    so calf raises without going into dorsi flexion are the only treatment?

    Hi Inoc, not the only treatment, however it is the key and most important exercise. They key is to load the tendon and avoid compression of the tendon, this is why you don't go into doors flexion. on return to sport / exercise if required you can do full heel raise and drop if needed, however you need to make sure that the tendon and foot can cope with this

    @@NKActiveClinics Thanks for clarifying that. How about straight leg vs bent knee calf raises, or isometric holds? Is it worth doing both or only straight leg? I realize they work different muscles.. Are any stretches recommended? I also realize you don't want to stretch the tendon by going into dorsi flexion on the first stages of rehab.

    @@inoculati0n they work different muscles. Bent knee works on soleus and straight more gastrocnemius. I think soleus is forgotten about and very important. Isometrics some people find helpful, others don’t. If you can tolerate doing concentric exercises then do them, if you can’t start with isometrics. Stretching as you say avoid this, once symptoms have settled you can start again if you like / need to. As always my advice is if you are struggling and symptoms are not settling always get an appointment with a health care professional.

    If suffering with since 2017 that would Suggest the treatment hasn’t been the right one for you so far Or not pushed hard enough during the rehab process. Unfortunately rest doesn’t do you any favours long time. Insertional Achilles tendinopathy takes around 4-6 months to settle ( providing there is no other medical reasons why it may not settle )

    I'm 5 months into this insertional Achilles tendinitis issue and I still feel it flare up after some physical therapy (single leg heel raises, balance workouts, etc.) But I have gotten better forsure. When is it OK for me to start doing fast twitch workouts like running jumping etc? Should do it anyway to test myself out? Or would that be risking further injury to the Achilles because it does still flare up on me here and there but nothing too drastic

    This should be discussed with your physical therapist. However for us in clinic once someone has built up their Strength, we then start testing with some single leg hops and see how it reacts then progress forward. We are happy for pain to be 4/10 during or after. You have to test and progress at some point.

    Hi Jyoti, sorry without a full history we can't recommend specific treatment for you, however, the general advice is to work on calf strength, try some calf raises and keep using the shoes with a heel. The biggest bit of advice is to get a plan that you can follow and overcomes barriers that you have.
