CLINICAL READING
What the review found
Eccentric exercise relieved pain without clear superiority over other forms of exercise. Functional outcomes remained uncertain.
What it may mean clinically
Exercise type is only one part of the plan. Dosage, progression, tolerance and the real demands of walking, running or sport remain central.
Important limitations
Functional outcomes varied greatly between studies, preventing a firm conclusion. Protocols and tendinopathy subtypes differed; this summary is not an individual prescription.
This is a plain-language evidence summary, not an individual recommendation. Decisions follow history, examination, goals and clinical judgement.
