I've been struggling with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy for 13 months. Progressive loading, heavy/slow resistance work and your pick of eccentric, isometric or isotonic exercises are apparenlty the way forward. The biggest surprise has been the amount of quality information on Twitter; finding the people to follow is harder. If you're interested, good starting points are @SethONeill, @UDtendongroup, @kgSilbernagel, @tendonresearch, @TendonGlasgow, @IreneSDavis, @tendonpain, @ProfJillCook, @KFarnqvist, @lorenzo_masci, @sancho_igor and @pdkirwan. HTH!

I have also found success with high repetition (15-30 reps) slow eccentric work for tendinopathy in my fingers and elbow. So far it's really the only thing that helps besides making sure the surrounding areas are not overly tight with soft tissue work. This guide and the linked research have been very helpful. https://stevenlow.org/overcoming-tendonitis/

Thanks for the twitter recommendations. I made great progress with progressive loading with isometric exercises the past 9 months, so I'm transitioning to slow concentric/eccentric movement to increase range of motion and struggling. This stems from an improperly healed ankle injury causing low dorsiflexion ROM so finding the right combination of exercises is tricky.
