Home / Conditions / Achilles tendon pain
Common in runners and in people over 40 — and very responsive to the right loading.
Achilles tendinopathy is pain and stiffness in the tendon at the back of the ankle from too much load too quickly. The tendon responds to a specific, progressive strength programme; shockwave adds to that for the mid-portion type.
We grade your calf and tendon loading week by week, manage your training, and add shockwave for the mid-portion pattern that hasn't settled.
Get urgent advice if you have severe or spreading weakness, numbness around the back passage, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss, or pain that's severe and unrelenting at night. These are uncommon but need prompt assessment.
