I'm a physio undergrad & have been having Rx for pain in the
dorsiflexors/anterior compatments of my legs. The physio gave me Alfredson
eccentric plantarflexor exercises. I don't understand the rationale of
this Rx; I've looked at Alfredson's (& other) papers but they only discuss
the exercises in terms of Rx for Achilles tendinopathy.
Can someone explain the rationale hear, please. I did ask the physio to
explain, but she told me to look at the relevant papers & she's now on
holiday.
Any help much appreciated,
Jeff
