The heavy isometric programme for Achilles Tendinopathy from Radovanonić et al. (2022) has somewhat gone under the radar but has lots of potential benefits 💪
It’s just one exercise and takes less than 25 mins per week!
New Study On Text Neck:
1️⃣ Cervical flexion posture during smartphone use was not a risk factor for neck pain.
2️⃣ Low sleep quality was a risk factor for neck pain.
3️⃣ Insufficient levels of physical activity were a risk factor for neck pain.

Most people are missing one key piece of hip mobility.
And if you don’t have it, your low back is the one paying the price.
Let’s talk about hip extension 🧵
Peak forces on the calf, quads, glutes and hamstrings are high during running which is why it’s important to assess and strengthen these muscles after injury. We cover how to do this and lots more in our free Achilles video series. Access it now at clinicaledge.co/freeachilles
There’s more to it than just stretching or “resting it out.”
You can’t just avoid impact as a runner—you have to train for it.
Our Running Prehab program helps you do exactly that. No fluff. Just what actually works.

To get a muscle to contract powerfully, it first needs to be fully lengthened.
For the glutes, this means getting a deep stretch through hip flexion, such as a hinge:
Think your core is strong?
Try this: it challenges your core, hip, knee & ankle all at once. Most don’t pass on the first try. 👀

But glute med doesn’t work in isolation.
It works when your foot is on the ground, especially during mid-stance.
So we need to train it under load, with the pelvis rotating over a fixed femur.
Here’s how:
Shown are some exercises (of varying difficulty) that address known deficits or difficulties associated with Achilles tendinopathy.
These compound and isolated resistance exercises (as well as plyometrics) will improve your tolerance to various forms of loading, such as walking,…

IS LIFTING TECHNIQUE Related to Pain and Functional
Limitation in people with lifting related back pain?
I get asked this Q so often.
@ivan_physio_au and team asked this question in this excellent OPEN ACCESS study...
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…
HIP MOBILITY - Four we touched on prior to a field session focusing on tension in the groin and loading rotation of the hips
- Dynamic Groin Drifts, 6 different angles each side
- Figure 4 Contours, 8 reps
- Hip Airplanes, 8 reps
- Kneeling Hip Circles, 5 reps
2 sets 1-2 a week
Great new research from Tjerk Visser & colleagues has given us normative values for calf testing that go beyond reps alone!
Assessing peak height, total work & total displacement can provide valuable insight into calf function.
