    As a newly working PTA for only a year, and aspiring to be a PT, I appreciate all you guys do and how you deliver your messages and treatments on this platform. Thank you for all your advice. This video means even more since last year I had a strained/slight tear and tried everything I had learned with little progress and just sort of came to terms with my new limitation. But the cross friction to relive the micro tears and allow more blood flow is so simple it’s genius. I can’t thank you guys enough and I hope to someday amass the knowledge you have learned and taught.

    Thanks so much guys! I felt the searing pain walking yesterday in my Achilles. I had the same injury last year but my neuropathy makes the healing longer. I ended up getting an inner ankle sprain after the tear. It took almost three months for the tear to heal because you know it keeps happening. My PT used the grafson (?) tool. I used KT tape in between therapy. Tonight, all I can do is ice it. Pain. It is so tight.

    Could you please make a video about Insertion Achilles Tendinopathy? My Dutch physiotherapist gave a scockwave treatment once a week for the past 7 weeks and prescribed exercises to do at home. I wear soft heel raisers in my shoes. It seems that the pain has lessened in recent weeks. But I guess it takes a very long time. Currently notice that the pain increases during the day. The exercises are more painful in the evening than in the morning. I watch your videos more often, but I miss a video about Insertion Achilles Tendinopathy. In the chat several people are asking about it. So live up to your reputation and make the best video on this issue. 😉 Greetings from Marij from the Netherlands.

    If it is insertional Achilles tendinopathy...cross frictional massage can be damaging and actually make the problem worse because you are encouraging inflammation. Current methods include a gradual weight loading program to help heal and strengthen the tendon. It does not heal any other way. This will make you feel good for a tiny bit but it will come back even worse.

    • @justgrowmusic
      @justgrowmusic 2 года назад

      Cross frictional massaging is terrible for medial tendinopathy as well... I saw this and was like NO. The more you dig into insertional the more you learn a lot of Online PT's really just spew old literature like it's gospel vs. keeping up to date w/ new literature. Very disappointed in such a highly touted channel.

    • @woodstream6137

      How can I tell if it's insertionsal, medial, or something? My right tendon has obvious swelling, I'm usually on my feet 8hrs hard surface, sitting for more than 10 minutes feels really tight when I start walking again, prone to calf and sometimes foot camps after lying down.

      @@woodstream6137 If it's pain on the skinny part it's medial. If it's pain closer to the base/your heel (where the achillies is inserted at the heel), it's more than likely insertional.

    If there is a tear in the calf muscle would that cause pain when bending the leg if sitting "criss cross apple sauce" and put pressure on the achilles tendon causing pain/strain?

    Hi what does it mean when I can’t flex back my ankle? When I flex it forward and backwards, my Achilles hurts and when I put weight it also hurts

    Hey have you guys considered touching on pain in the Achilles insertion point at the base of the heal? I'm finding it very difficult to find any information on this particular Achilles issue

      @@imliz100 Yes! What worked for me was the pinching thing they did here, but i pinched lower by the base of my heal. I also stretched it out by sitting down on the floor, extending my leg, and pulling on my foot with an elastic band. I also started stretching after running, which I wasn't doing before. Could have been any of those things or all 3. good luck!
