Diagnosis of noninsertional tendinopathy, defined as the following\n\n   * Subjective report of pain located 2-6 cm proximal to the insertion of Achilles tendon to the calcaneus, particularly with running or jumping\n   * Tenderness to palpation of the Achilles tendon while the clinician gently squeezes the tendon between the thumb and index finger in a proximal to distal direction\n   * Positive Arc Sign - Intratendinous swelling moves relative to the malleoli with the tendon during active dorsi\u002Fplantar Flexion\n   * Royal London Test - Tenderness to palpation decreases significantly or disappears with max dorsiflexion\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Report of red flags to manual physical therapy to include: hypertension infection, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, heart disease, stroke, chronic ischemia, edema, severe vascular disease, malignancy, etc.\n2.
