Chat with Colin Griffin: top tips about assessment and management for Achilles tendinopathy

Enjoyable chat with Colin Griffin who is undertaking an exercise trial for Achilles tendinopathy. We touched on so many important rehab considerations, including:
  • Strength profiling for Achilles tendinopathy
  • Assessing endurance, maximal dynamic and isometric calf capacity, and plyometric function and reactivity
  • Home vs gym based rehab
  • Why some people may have poorer outcomes
