Achilles Tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury affecting the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It causes pain, stiffness, and reduced function, particularly in runners and active individuals. At Actilife Physiotherapy, we use evidence-based protocols to treat Achilles tendon pain and help you return to activity safely.
Our approach focuses on progressive tendon loading exercises, which have the strongest evidence for treating tendinopathy. We combine this with manual therapy, gait retraining, and addressing contributing factors like calf tightness or poor footwear.
