How can you start rehabilitation of your patients Achilles tendinopathy? Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common musculoskeletal issues your running patients will present with, and a structured loading program alongside improving biomechanics are the cornerstones of a successful rehabilitation program. How can you start your patients loading program, and settle your patients achilles pain immediately?
