Understanding Achilles pain
Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries in the lower limb. Pain typically develops where the tendon meets the heel and worsens with activity. Left untreated, it can progress and become chronic.
Treatment and management
Recovery focuses on restoring tendon load tolerance through structured rehabilitation. Your plan may include:
- Eccentric loading exercises to rebuild tendon strength
- Shockwave therapy for chronic cases
- Custom orthotics to offload the tendon during daily activity
- Footwear advice and graded return-to-activity programs
