• Achilles tendinopathy is a clinical syndrome characterized by a combination of pain, swelling, morning stiffness and difficulty with physical activity. This is a common overuse injury in sports that include running and jumping. The recovery from Achilles tendinopathy can take between 3 and 12 months. Exercise as treatment has the highest level of evidence and should consist of both concentric and eccentric exercises. For exercises to give a favorable outcome, they are allowed to cause pain and should be performed daily. The use of a pain-monitoring model helps with the balance between overloading and loading enough to achieve a positive response to the exercises. Other treatments, such as injection therapies, shock wave treatment, laser treatment and ultrasound treatment, have not been consistently found to be beneficial but might be useful in conjunction with the exercise treatment.
