Choosing the Best Exercise for Achilles Tendinopathy: Evidence Review | PT Pro Talk Podcast
This video summarizes the evidence behind various exercise regimens for Achilles tendinopathy, such as the Alfredson eccentric protocol, the Silbernagel progressive loading program, and Heavy Slow Resistance training. It points out that although these regimens differ in their strategy—from eccentric-alone exercises to concentric-eccentric combined movements and heavy progressive loading—the results regarding the relief from pain are overall comparable. The take-home point is that progressive loading is necessary for recovery, but the specific program needs to be targeted to the individual's unique impairments.
