More rest

As some may know from the new pictures I uploaded, I went hiking a week ago. Unlike my earlier hiking experiences in France this year, this did not at all turn out to be good for my knees. The inflammation in the tendons of my knees is not over yet, nor is the inflammation in my Achilles tendons that I developed in March.

I made a phone call to the so-called vacation doctor in the Netherlands, and, indeed, the answer was rest - no cycling, no hikes for a few more weeks. I could also see a physiotherapist here, though I am not sure the difference in costs with the Netherlands is covered. I am also not sure that this will really help me or be worth it in this case (physiotherapy for an inflammation of tendons that need rest?) but perhaps someone who knows more about physiotherapy can give me some advice on this.
