Awesome! Thank you! Ive been working on it, wrong apparently in at least a couple of aspects. I feel like you've pointed me in the right direction. Question. Is an elliptical worse than a treadmill to be exercising on?
Just came across this video and it has given me some hope. Started running when I was 51 and ran consistently for 9 years, but all the time with insertional Achilles tendinitis on both sides which began about 4 months after I started running. The pain would go away during the run, but afterwards I’d have pain and often a noticeable limped during the day. If I touched or hit the insertional spot on my heal it would be painful. About 4 years ago I decided I’d better stop running or perhaps do some serious damage to myself. Now after putting on about 30 pounds and missing running so much, I saw your video and it gave me hope that perhaps at 64 I could start running again. Thanks so much for posting this very informative video.
@@Mark-jh6px thank you so much for sharing your story! Glad to hear you have new found hope and the key (especially after 4 years off) will be making sure all of your run specific muscles are strong enough and you gradually reintroduce running again. May I suggest my return to run progression? You can download it here: learn.sparkhealthyrunner.com/returntorun If you want a customized approach given your insertional pain history, age and time off of running to take away the guesswork and guarantee you will get your running life back again then that is what we specialize in with our coaching services.

Thanks for the video. Very frustrating that my last physiotherapists continued to tell me to persist with doing heel raises below the step even when I said it was making the pain worse. How do you feel about isometric exercises to strengthen the tendon like holding a heel raise for 30 seconds and building it up?
Ive been doing the heel drop so this info was great. Id like a peogram specific to insertional tendonosis (ps it was hard to find your video because my doc calls it tendonosis and that is what ive been searching for). Id like a specific weight training and return to run program that is for insertional. Thanks so much

Glad to hear it was informative! A heel wedge will help calm down symptoms for the short term and should not be used as a long term solution. Typically, I have only ever recommended clients use it for 1-2 weeks to calm down inflammation. The other shoes fitting strategies, addressing mobility, and proper tissue loading will be the long term fix. Best of luck to you in getting relief.

Can you address using a heel raising insole for relieving pain and letting the place heal?
