[00:00:00]There are two types of Achilles tendinitis. Treating one the same as the other can actually make [music] it worse. The first is mid-substance.

[00:00:10]This responds well to eccentric heel drops, controlled lowering over the edge of a step.

[00:00:18]Most physical therapy is designed for this one. The second is insertional. The exercises that fix mid-substance can actually inflame insertional tendinitis.

[00:00:29]Drops below neutral are a no-go. Save this for your next PT session.
