🤔 Ever wondered about the pressure inside your Achilles tendon? 🔬 Our research uncovers surprising facts about its pressure in rest and during exercise in athletes. 👀 Discover the findings and why we caution against intratendinous injections here: doi.org/10.1177/194173…

Thrilled to head to Madrid next week for the FIFA Isokinetic Conference conference! I'll be presenting some exciting findings from our RCT study on insertional Achilles tendinopathy. 🧨 Looking forward to connecting with you all there! #isoK24 #sportsmedicine

An excellent new study from Lauren Pringels et al. in British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) has found that reducing tendon compression (by limiting ankle dorsiflexion during rehab) leads to better outcomes in Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.

Final PhD study is out 🦶 Slow, high-load eccentric calf training leads to the greatest acute Achilles tendon thinning (↓8.9%) & stiffening (↑54.5%)—suggesting more fluid exudation & lower intratendinous pressure. 🏋️ Loading speed & intensity matter! 🔗 journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…
