Main focus
Compares in-shoe heel lifts against classic eccentric loading for mid-portion Achilles.
Key lesson
Heel lifts can edge eccentrics on short-term pain and function, but both are legit options.
My take
This is why I don’t die on the Alfredson-only hill; some patients just want a sneaky heel lift and to get on with life… fight me.
