The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone allowing you to run, jump and hop. It has a poor blood supply and is prone to inflammation, degeneration or even complete rupture, particularly when playing a sport that involves an explosive sprint or jump.<\/p>\n

What can Petersfield Physio do to help Achilles Heel?<\/u><\/p>\n

We can use ice and electrotherapy to reduce the pain, stretches to ensure the tendon doesn\u2019t shorten and specific stretching\/strengthening exercises called eccentric loading to restore full function. If the tendon has ruptured, it will either be surgically repaired or placed in a boot for several weeks to allow it to heal. Physiotherapy can restore range of movement, strength and function once the tendon has repaired.
