    Cheers. Yeah I've googled it. Results are either "do these exercises" patient info without specifying which is which, or over my head (med journals), & still not making the distinction.

    edit: there is a lot on the benefits of eccentric (NOT concentric) exercise for a range of tendinopathies, mostly in re the Achilles. Practically nothing on peroneals. And because I don't know much anatomy, and have a hard time with 3-D mental rotation tasks, I can't figure it out.

    Basically I've found a bunch of stuff that explains why the physio exercises I've been told to do might not be working. I am done throwing money at vampires who can't be bothered to read their own journals. Unfortunately, I majored in the social sciences.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2505250/

    ^ a review, but there are a bunch of studies now showing that a program of eccentric exercise has helped people with long-term tendinopathies (note, this is how chronic 'tendonitis' should be talked about now. Tendonitis should refer to an ACUTE inflammation, not a chronic one <- not inflammation anyway, is apparently 'failed healing'. That should be called 'tendinosis').

    Anyway, just, if anyone knows, I'd be really grateful for the answer.
