Achilles heel - physiotherapy
Your Achilles Heel is the back part of your heel, where the tendons connect to the calf muscle. Once injured it can take longer to heal because of the lack of blood flow to the affected area.
Achilles Heel Physiotherapy
The Achilles Heel can be injured in a lot of different ways, the most common of which are: weaker calf muscles as the tendon connects to the calf muscle, not recovering sufficiently between exercises, and wearing high heels, as that shortens the tendon, and then stretches it again when undertaking exercise.
The common signs of an injury to the Achilles Heel are pain which increases over the course of a number of days, but starts to let up once the affected area is rested, the pain is felt more acutely when it is touched, and pain which starts out strongly at the start of exercise, but starts to feel better as you continue.
