Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial with individuals who have Achilles tendon pain. This study is designed to identify an effective rehabilitation program for Achilles tendon pain that expands access to care for military personnel and to predict treatment response. Limited or delayed access to healthcare can exacerbate the severity of pain and duration of disability due to AT. This is particularly relevant for individuals deployed to battlefield settings or are being seen in busy military treatment facilities. Therefore, it is crucial to identify efficient and effective treatment pathways that maximize healthcare access and facilitate a rapid and pain-free return to full duty.
