In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn why eccentric exercises are essential for runners with tendon injuries and how to perform them effectively.
Discover why simply stretching or strength training with heavy weights may worsen symptoms, and instead, how slow, controlled eccentric movements like heel drops can rebuild tendon strength and connection. 
We’ll also explore the science behind tendon repair, the importance of dosage (yes, up to 180 reps daily!), and how to implement the Alfredson protocol for lasting results. Tune in to learn the key to pain-free running!

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
