Rehabilitation Awareness week 14th-20th September
Achilles Tendinopathy
Many sportsmen and women will have at some time experienced an Achilles tendinopathy. They can be very persistent in nature and it's important to start with the right form of exercise
Slow progressive loading of the tendon, whilst keeping pain levels to a minimum, is currently best practice.
Restoring strength, stability, flexibility and balance to the whole leg and not just the calf and achilles should be a prority.
Other factors that can contribute to the injury such as poor running technique, incorrect footwear, tendon overload, weak core and glutes should also be addressed.
If you would like further assessment and advice please get in touch.

May is national walking month.
Physiotherapists recommend that adults exercise for 30 minutes a day at moderate intensity, five times a week. Walking is an easy way of achieving this but you need to walk at a pace to get out of breath so try and add in steps and slopes to challenge yourself even more.
Exercising outdoors is beneficial for both your body and mind so get out there and enjoy this beautiful weather.
If you are new to walking go carefully and start with just a short walk.
