042. Treatment of Plantaris & Achilles Tendinopathy with Seth O’Neill

In Episode 41 of the Physio Edge podcast, Dr Christoph Spang and I discussed how Plantaris may play a role in Achilles tendinopathy. In this episode of the Physio Edge podcast, I discuss with Seth O’Neill how you can identify Plantaris involvement in your patients, and adjust and progress your conservative treatment of Achilles pain and tendinopathy with Plantaris involvement.

Seth O'Neill and I discuss:

What indicates Plantaris involvement and helps you differentiate from mid portion Achilles Tendinopathy
Where do patients have pain with Plantaris tendinopathy
What history do patients with Plantaris involvement or tendinopathy present with
Objective tests and findings for Plantaris tendinopathy and involvement
Biomechanics contributing to Plantaris tendinopathy
Is treatment successful for Plantaris
How to treat Plantaris tendinopathy and involvement in midportion Achilles
How to perform a loading program
Running adjustments
aping
Manual therapy

041. The role of Plantaris in mid portion Achilles Tendinopathy with Dr Christoph Spang

Plantaris tendinopathy and compression of Plantaris on the Achilles has been shown to play a role in some cases of Achilles Tendinopathy, slowing down their rate of rehabilitation progress.

Dr Christoph Spang is a Biologist and Sports Scientist, and completed a PhD on “The plantaris tendon in relation to the Achilles tendon in midportion Achilles tendinopathy”. In this podcast we discuss the interaction of Plantaris in patients with midportion Achilles Tendinopathy, including:

Why consider Plantaris in Achilles Tendinopathy patients?
How can Plantaris cause or be involved in Achilles pain?
Anatomy, function and role of Plantaris
What interaction does Plantaris have with the Achilles and calf?
Do patients with Plantaris involvement respond to a loading program?
What is the clinical presentation of a patient with Plantaris involvement?
How can Ultrasound or Ultrasound Tissue Characterisation (UTC) be utilised to identify Plantaris?
The role of injection therapy
Surgical treatment
