Achilles Tendinopathy (Tendinitis & Tendinosis)

Physiotherapy for Achilles Tendinopathy (Tendinitis & Tendinosis)

Achilles Tendinopathy affects the Achilles tendon, often from repetitive stress or overuse. It can show up as either tendinosis (tendon degeneration) or tendinitis (tendon inflammation), and may stem from changes in walking patterns, muscle weakness, or increased strain on the tendon.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
A personalized exercise program is essential for managing Achilles tendinopathy. Our physiotherapists will guide you through exercises that strengthen the Achilles tendon and surrounding muscles, reducing pain and preventing re-injury. We’ll also provide tips on modifying activities to avoid overuse and discuss complementary treatments to aid recovery.
