Load Management and Strengthening for Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy, a common issue in runners and triathletes, can be managed through proper load management and strengthening exercises. Load management involves monitoring pain levels on a scale from 0 to 10 during and after physical activity. Zero to two out of 10 is safe to continue training, while three to five may require modifications to running intensity or terrain. Anything above five should prompt a break from running and alternative loading exercises. Strengthening exercises for the Achilles include deficit calf raises with controlled tempo and a focus on both the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Starting with bodyweight and progressing to heavy loads is important to elicit positive changes in the tendon.
