One of the biggest things athletes have taught me over the years is that insertional Achilles tendinopathy does not always tolerate endless heel drops well in the early stages. Many athletes who had already spent months — sometimes years — in failed rehab programmes told me the same thing: “These exercises just keep aggravating it.” That consistent feedback changed the way I approached these cases clinically. Heel drops absolutely still have a role in Achilles rehabilitation — particularly later in the loading progression — but insertional Achilles pathology is mechanically different from mid-portion tendinopathy, and excessive dorsiflexion loading too early can sometimes flare symptoms rather than improve them. Over time, many athletes responded far better to progressive isometric holds combined with focused shockwave rehabilitation before progressing into heavier dynamic loading later. The biggest lesson? Listen to your athlete. Too many athletes are still being pushed through exercises that consistently aggravate symptoms simply because that has historically been the standard protocol. Pain during rehabilitation is not always a sign the tendon is adapting well. Sometimes it is the tendon telling you the loading strategy is too aggressive for that stage of healing. After 11 years of treating Achilles tendons with focused shockwave rehabilitation, it’s been fascinating to watch the profession evolve. It’s great to see more clinicians now using focused and radial shockwave regularly. What would be even better is seeing wider use of focused shockwave for chronic load-related injuries that continue to fail traditional rehabilitation approaches.

This 56-year-old ultramarathon runner developed severe osteitis pubis after repeated ultra-endurance loading. What began as “groin pain” progressed into major functional limitation. By the time he presented: • Walking was limited to ~2 miles • Coughing and sneezing caused sharp pubic/adductor pain • Turning in bed was severely painful • Getting in and out of the car hurt • He had to physically hold his legs together to roll in bed • He could not tolerate a simple adductor squeeze test • Right leg strength and stability had significantly deteriorated Despite months of physiotherapy elsewhere, symptoms continued to worsen. Eventually, the patient self-referred for MRI himself. Imaging confirmed osteitis pubis with associated right hip labral pathology. After researching treatment options himself, he attended our clinic for combined Focused Shockwave Therapy (fESWT) and EMTT alongside progressive rehabilitation and strict load management. Importantly, because of the significant delay in diagnosis, imaging and targeted treatment, this case required substantially more focused Shockwave and EMTT sessions than would normally be expected in earlier-stage presentations. By the time treatment began, the patient was already in a severe and highly irritable state with major functional limitation. Seven months later: • Pain-free coughing/sneezing • Pain-free bed turning • Pain-free car transfers • Walking 12+ miles without after-effects • Significant restoration of strength and function Importantly — he has not rushed back to running. Recovery from bone-stress pathology requires patience, progressive loading and respect for tissue healing. Cases like this highlight how easily osteitis pubis can be missed in endurance athletes when early imaging is delayed — and how prolonged diagnostic delay may significantly extend rehabilitation timelines.

@Petedarren @JohnSwinney @ScotGovFM Disgrace

Me waiting on the Scottish NHS outpatient department to answer the phone only to be told that its a 50 week wait to be seen. Scotland in the 21st century @JohnSwinney @ScotGovFM any comment?????

@JimFergusonUK I thought you were credible. Yet here we are, you are peddling this crap. You can do one

🚨 BREAKING: EUROPE ON EDGE — HANTAVIRUS CONTACT CASE EMERGES A flight attendant in the Netherlands has been hospitalized after contact with a passenger who later died from hantavirus following a Johannesburg-linked flight. Let that sink in. A deadly virus case… A live international flight… Now a potential exposure inside Europe. Officials will say it’s “precautionary.” They will say it’s “contained.” We’ve heard that before. The real question is this: How many contacts were made before this was flagged? How far did this travel before anyone knew? One case becomes two. Two becomes a cluster. Watch this closely. Because this is exactly how these situations begin.

This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying: They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development. Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.” We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans. This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different. Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?

@Petedarren Where was this

Horrific

Always enjoyed this event- Lochend know how to put on a show 👏
