A Different Way To Treat Achilles Pain - Track Athlete Case Study

from Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers · host Anna Hartman

Where do I start treatment for an athlete complaining of Achilles tendon issues?  The same place I start every evaluation - the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol). This directs me to where the body is protecting and what the underlying driver of changing the dynamic alignment, function, and pain is.  I still look at the movement and orthopedics of what was going on and likely stressed the tissue - but the story of something being “tight”, “weak”, or “inhibited” is gone. I talk about all of this and more including my entire breakdown of a recent case I had of a track athlete complaining of Achilles pain.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 54: A Better Way To Assess The SI JointThe Results Cheat Code- The Missing Link FREE CourseSign Up For LTAP in Washington D.C.
