Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment- Achilles Specific Questionnaire (VISA-A)
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if Astym® treatment is an effective
 treatment for patients with Achilles pain. The usual treatment for this condition is a
 specific exercise program that has been previously shown to be effective. The research team
 is trying to determine if combining Astym with the exercise program is more effective than
 exercise program only.
 
 The main hypothesis for this study is that Astym plus eccentric exercise will be more
 effective than eccentric exercise alone at improving pain and function in patients with
 insertional Achilles tendinopathy.
